Emily, I am going in for my 3rd treatment of Sculptra next week. What do you feel about microneedling? And when and how do you feel i should incorporate it? Also do you like the pen or the stamp method better? I appreciate you and your channel so much! I wish you traveled across the country and did VIP visits. ❤

[@NaturalInjector]

@@bellakim9404 Glad you found the channel helpful! I don’t do microneedling but I do feel it can help stimulate collagen on a superficial level, like to help improve acne scars. I don’t feel it will interfere with your Sculptra treatments you just may want to space it out so that it’s not done on the same day or a few days because when I do Sculptra I clean the skin very thoroughly so the skin may be a little more sensitive.

[@janenicholson4056]

I really love sculptra, Started at 56. I got a small amount of HA filler earlier and didn't like it, probably because I have a narrow face and it didn't look natural. I'm now 60 and get it topped up annually. I don't even bother with botox because I don't mind the crinkles around my eyes. Just wish it wasn't so expensive.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@janenicholson4056 Thanks so much for sharing your story. Curious where they placed the filler to on your face since you said you didn’t like it? What made you turn to Sculptra?

[@janenicholson4056]

@@NaturalInjector I got a mil of Voluma in each cheek. It actually looked too sharp and unnatural on me tbh. I talked to the nurse at the place I go to and she suggested Sculptra. I ended up getting 6 vials spaced apart and by 6 months I really loved the results. Dermis is thick and firm and yet I don't look puffy.

[@rachelteeuws1241]

I love my sculptra. Had four vials about a year ago. I’m now trying Profhilo for my neck

[@patslade8008]

Excellent information, Emily. I once had Radinesse by an expert provider, however i ended up with three small nodules on one side of my face. He said they would disappear in time, but two years later, still there, so now i am hesitant to get more. So important to have a good provider, and at the time, being a doctor thought i would be in good hands. It's a great product, but the key thing must be to find a good injector. Really enjoyed your video. 😊

[@NaturalInjector]

@@patslade8008 Glad you enjoyed the video! Curious, did you have Radiesse as a filler or hyperdilute?

[@Saibu-uo4ts]

All these biostimulators are PERMANENT. Everything else is a lie by the injectors and producers. They have NO CLUE about the actual duration...patients are being misled about making a PERMANENT change to their face. It's unethical. That's why the nodules are still there. It will never go away. Believe me...I can live with the knowledge that my face proportions are PERMANENTLY fed up cause one greedy injector pushed me into a biostimulator shit when all I wanted was to improve my scars. F hate all the cosmetic doctors. Bunch of unethical, lying people who couldn't care about your face or your mental health any less as soon as the payment is done.

[@remionekenobi2444]

Hi Emily, I’m wondering, what is your opinion on Sculptra but for treating acne scarring? I have acne scarring and I’ve done several microneddling sessions, CO2 laser twice and subincisions once. My scarring has fade like 60 or 70% and my Dermatologist suggested Sculptra based on the fact that most of my scarring is localized over my temples. I’m 33 and would like to do it but I’m not sure if it’s really gonna work for that 😩

[@rocb5473]

I had sculptra for acne scarring and it did improve it quite a bit.

[@Mar-cw5zy]

Thanks for this information, Emily! Is it advisable to do sculptra if I want to have a surgical facelift in the future? Could it prevent it in any way or affect the outcome for the worse? Thankss❤

[@user-rf6gq8vz5v]

Would you do sculptra under the chin to tighten a double chin after Kybella?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@user-rf6gq8vz5v Good question. I personally would definitely consider using it, even though it’s an off label area. I actually had my submental area treated with Sculptra but I need to get more treatments.

[@MyMaria1224]

Do you recommend doing 1 vial a Year once achieved results

[@viviqi123]

Hi Emily, can I have Sculptra on areas where I’ve had fillers before? Such as cheeks and the nasolabial fold? Do I need to get them dissolved before having Sculptra done?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@viviqi123 Hi. I would follow up with the provider you choose but in general yes, you can have Sculptra in areas that you have already had filler done. I space it out a few weeks before treating the same areas as filler though.

[@OneStopAging]

Have you tried PDLLA like Performa from France? It’s supposed to last longer and the particles are smaller less chances for nodules. Thoughts? Why do some Dr’s prefer bacteriostatic water and some Saline to mix? Is there a difference?

[@thinktankcritic5267]

Was sculpted used in the 90s? I had something put in my under eye area and it was called nuface at the time and it left me with nodules.. So a bit worried about using Sculptra which could be the same thing but renamed

[@NaturalInjector]

@@thinktankcritic5267 Great question! Yes! Sculptra used to be called Nuface. However 🤚, it was reconstituted with a lower amount water back in the day, and because of the lower volume/higher concentration, the problems with nodules were more prevalent. Also, it should not be used under the eyes. We now reconstitute with a lot more water than we used to and we have gained a better understanding of how the product works, including where we should avoid. That’s so interesting you had Nuface. It was called Nuface before and around the time the US got FDA approval for HIV. Did you get treated in the US?

[@micejimicejk1238]

What is your opinion about Radiesse and which one is bettet?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@micejimicejk1238 Great question. I used to use Radiesse in my face years ago, as a filler. Hyperdilute Radiesse is known more as a collagen stimulator. The company doesn’t have FDA approval for hyperdilute Radiesse yet. I think Sculptra is better at stimulating collagen from what I have asked from colleagues.

[@samanthamari3]

Is sculptra good to replace bone loss in the face?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@samanthamari3 There is talk that Sculptra may stimulate bone but I don’t think it’s been proven. I will talk more about this in an upcoming video on regenerative aesthetics so hopefully you subbed

[@nvong]

Can I use RF device on the area that have sculptra injected?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@nvong I would clear it with your provider but I tell my patients they can.

[@Glossyvixen]

3 1/2 months ago I had 2 vials done and then 2 more 6 weeks later and my injector said she’d be surprised if I didn’t see results until 4-6 months. What are your thoughts. I feel like I can see it on one side of my face that has more dense tissue and the other side is taking longer. I may need another vial but should prob wait a couple more months.

I am in Asia and have tried PDLLA already and it was a disaster. It’s still very popular in Asia (mostly Aestafil) but I think within the industry there were already a few cases of blindness. I am terrified of that and I trust the watery texture of sculptra makes it safer in this regard (am I right in this? Less likely to cause occlusion?) Thank you. Huge fan of sculptra here and want to get it forEVER

[@Ninaheijnink]

My provider injects and fans out the sculpra through only 2 entrypoints: my cheekbone and my jawbone. I see that a lot of injectors use 3 entrypoints. Where do you usually inject?

​@@NaturalInjectorit is permanent. They say it's 2 years but it's a lie. That's only how long the study was before they were able to bring it to market. When we ask "how long does it last", we mean the visual effect aka volume/thickened tissue. And unfortunately the answer is it's permanent. Thats the only logical answer! And yeah....sure, we age and lose some collagen...but thr proportions of the face will never be the same again. That's the only truthful answer. So I hope ypu better like it cause otherwise you can live a life filled with regret! Just think ypu should know this going into having this treatment. It's not only not reversible, it's a PERMANENT change you're making to the face proportions.

[@vroomgc]

Thx for the information, one thing I don't see much of is a description of how to apply sculptra. I had 2 vials and one was done just above the bone and the other was done more in the skin area and I went back for a 3rd vial 6 weeks later and she did 1/2 on the bone area and 1/2 in the skin area. Do you always do the bone part ? She said she always does cause she learned to do it that way.

[@Glossyvixen]

Seems like my NP did mine the same but never explained it and I’ve been wondering. First treatment swelled a whole lot more and hurt a lot longer than the 2nd. Youre right though I never hear anyone talk about this. I’ll ask the lady that did mine this coming week when I see her and report back if I can remember

[@vroomgc]

@@Glossyvixen Ok ya reply back if you do, thanks

[@Glossyvixen]

@@vroomgcok so here’s the update - she said it all depends on which part of your face she’s injecting. So for temples they go to the bone, cheeks have more fat and you don’t go deep there, etc etc. so this now makes sense now based on all the other videos I’ve watched as well. Hope that helps!

[@vroomgc]

@@Glossyvixen Thx for the update and I'm planning on getting another 2 vials at the end of this year, good luck to you!

[@mrsfloragoforth4130]

@@NaturalInjector I'm so glad to hear that because that's exactly what I thought! My doctor offers both and wouldn't really give me any clear answer on which would be better for me. I almost went with Bellafill because I saw it was specifically approved for treating smiles lines which is exactly what I wanted treated (mine have gotten very deep with age) but then I read that the microspheres that are suspended in the bovine collagen never dissolve and that freaked me out so I ultimately went with Scuptra and I'm very glad I did. I'm very happy with the results.

They say it's 2 years but it's a lie. That's only how long the study was before they were able to bring it to market.

​@@NaturalInjectorfor example when you end up with a terrible result and can afterwards life with a life filled with regret. If injectors were sincere at all you'd tell patients....the effects of this product will stay with you forever. And also the aging aspect is irrelevant...thr proportions still will never go back to normal unfortunately. I'd love you to prove me wrong. But thr truth is that all injectors are insincere or just lack actual knowledge in this regard and if a patient is unhappy they basically messed up their face permanently. It's terrible

[@NaturalInjector]

@@Saibu-uo4ts i don’t know of anyone personally who has ever ended up with a terrible result from their own collagen being stimulated. Feel free to give some examples if you know. The aging aspect is not irrelevant because our faces are always changing which is why the results from Sculptra would never be permanent. How could it be when we are programmed to lose collagen with age. I would love you to share a link to a before and after from a bad Sculptra result. I answered the most common questions about Sculptra in this video. I have not had a patient who said they regretted getting Sculptra so how is that insincere? Would you like me to make something up just to suit your negative bias.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@Saibu-uo4ts Who said it was semi permanent or permanent? I’m not sure who you are addressing. I am aware that 2 years was the length of the study and that the COMPANY cannot state that they last longer and I know how studies work and that just because the study ended at 2 years, does not mean you will go back to baseline after 2 years but to say results are permanent is not truthful and that would actually be unethical and deceiving to say it’s permanent. If you had a bad experience with Sculptra personally you can feel free to share your story.
