Sculptra Aesthetic Injection by Dr. Palm

Dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Melanie Palm of www.artofskinmd... demonstrates facial injections with Sculptra, a volumizing agent that produces one's own collagen to fill facial folds and wrinkles. Dr. Palm provides her knowledge for the national training series with Galderma, the makers of Sculptra. Sculptra can be used in the midface to revolumize sunken cheeks, lift the jawline, and rebuild cheekbones. Also known as poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra requires a physician specialized in training with Sculptra and an in depth knowledge of facial anatomy and aging. Sculptra is performed over a series of sessions. The filling effect takes several months to achieve but lasts 25 months. Contact Art of Skin MD in San Diego for more information at [phone].

Incredibly well done and professional.

[@bellarose8511]

Where's the follow ups & results?

[@ninalopez1593]

Omg she looks fabulous.

[@philippillis9393]

I'm not an expert but this looks beautifully comfortable and tastefully done. I'd love to get Sculptra but I'm scared of lumps and asymmetrical results as collagen formation is not super predictable. Do you prefer Sculptra over diluted radiesse?

[@miahairston3743]

I just completely my last treatment. A little swelling then day of but no lumps longer term. My skin looks amazing and much tighter. I’m 53.

My last question is have you used the other two injection techniques for the temples with sculpture the superficial one with a cannula and the perpendicular straight in with a needle which one is your favorite technique for the temple? I love this one. This is the one that I noticed Dr. Raj uses may ask who you trained with for your sculptra aesthetic.

Hi Dr, I understand that Sculptra is kind of unpredictable for use in chin and jawline injections. Wouldn't Juvederm Voluma and Ultra Plus be better choices? Do you use any numbing agent before the treatment? Thanks.

[@dwightdavis3003]

Wow! Doc I like your video it was enjoyable an also educational...I would love to talk to you abt that same treatment you just perform on your patient

[@karinealeksanyan5029]

Hi, good job ! I interested do you use cannula? Needle? What size?

[@DearEva.]

I wish you were in the bay area

[@duchessdelarue5983]

I had it done but completely different. They placed it deep on the bone in 3 areas of the cheek and then at the jaw bone. It was very painful and I was still swollen a week later. I was supposed to get 1 more vial but the pain and discomfort was too much so we didn't finish It (we didn't do the nasiolabial, chin area, or the temples) makes me question going back for the second session.

[@lisamullis8471]

Could you explain more about the depth - you had said that we should find some resistance when injection in the correct plane and that if we were too deep we would not feel that resistance. Is what I understood correct ?

[@nancneumann4196]

Nice job

[@madiganmom]

What prep was done before the injection? Did you numb the areas beforehand?

[@AprilLovesDIY]

Do u not ever go down to periosteum for this product

[@sauronthegreat5799]

Do you use numbing cream first before you inject. What is the mix of saline to sculptra do you use? What happens if you inject into a blood vessel? What gauge needle to you use?

[@mable430]

You’ve taken 10yrs off her face. Amazinv

[@karinealeksanyan5029]

Could Sculptra be in use with Juvederm in the same area?

[@darcyduffin1]

What size needle?

[@TheGlenville]

What do you use to help with any pain?

[@Soshi701]

Dr. what size cannula is this please?

[@TeresaDiIorio]

I like it!

[@bernadetteedwards9410]
