Sometimes i think if ppl find the balance between staying skinny in the body and having facial volume, the fillers will be less needed... esp in 30s-40s...

[@NaturalInjector]

@@TheMeowizer You bring up a really interesting theory. . The thing is that as you get older, especially if you are lower body fat, being “skinny” and having adequate facial volume is difficult. Especially if you’re a sinker and very lean. You tend to lose more collagen and elastin in the skin, and more facial fat. Both of these help to plump the face.. So it becomes challenging to maintain a lean, fit body, and having adequate enough facial volume. .Thank you for your comment 👍

I started Sculptra a year ina half ago .. i absolutely Love it .. i also got midface filler before i had the Sculptra done- i like Both cuz they serve different purposes .. for reference- last time i had midface filler was august 2023, my doctor said it’s still good & i agreed .. i recently had another vial of sculptra .. the last time i had got sculptra before This last recent time was June 2023 - not bad at all

@@Regina88-84 Thank you for sharing your story. I agree, filler and Sculptra serve different purposes 👍

[@bnb0510]

To be honest I will NEVER put filler in my face. I work in a med spa and we have been seeing so many issues over the past year. Migration that’s not dissolving or very difficult to, nodules, etc. And if I’m being completely honest we can’t even sell it right now. Even with flash sales we have so much product just sitting on the shelf and expiring.

[@NaturalInjector]

Wow really?! Thanks for sharing. Are the issues mainly in the lips? What area of the face are you finding that people have had issues with? Also wondering if you can’t sell it because filler has gotten a bad wrap?

[@wem-c9f]

I have some filler in my temples, under eye and lip for a few years now and I am loving the result. Skillfully done at right places right amounts, it can be very good. I had a gaunt and asymmetrical face and depleted tear troughs, I looked horrible on photos and that really affected my confidence. But the shape and contour are so much better now. Having said that I would go for bio-stimulators if I have a choice. And the latter cannot resolve every problem, some areas filler is more suitable. And I agree with you that filler is not as popular now due to all the problems and that is because of over-filling and all the hype. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate your honesty.

[@rpohpiah]

Your sculptra videos are always so informative! I was wondering, if I'm in my late 20's, would 1 vial be enough? How long should the wait be before I see if I need the remaining 2 vials as advised by the doctor for best results? I am almost 8 weeks post. One thing I've noticed with sculptra and ultherapy (at the same time), my 5 year old undereye filler became more bumpy and obvious. Perhaps the sculptra collagen formation has pushed the filler to the surface? I have since got them dissolved.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@rpohpiah I’m so glad you find the videos informative! 1 vial may be enough. I usually wait 3 full months to see results on patients (and myself). That’s so interesting about your under eye filler! I have a question about that. Did they treat your temples with Sculptra? This video will likely be helpful 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJTFqpWAad6gh68si=fZpKMXB148ewTQQZ

[@rpohpiah]

@@NaturalInjector yes they did my temples! Those areas were sore for weeks. I also had a freak out reading reddit horror stories on sculptra so I was VERY diligent with the 555 massage although my practitioner said that it wasn't that vital (8mL saline dilution). I'm not sure if I may have spread the sculptra medially towards my undereyes in doing so. My dark undereye is back on one eye but I was advised against re-filling it with HA filler because my cheek is pretty voluminous apparently according to her and perhaps would cause puffiness? She would just leave it as is.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@rpohpiah This is very interesting to know.! think that the temples and the under eyes are connected in that, I have had Renuva injected two times and the second time I had Renuva injected into my temples, they used more volume than they had the first time. A few days later, I had bruising to my under eyes and on one side of my upper eyelid I also had bruising. The bruising actually turned into black and blue. I think there’s some sort of connection between treating the temples and the under eyes. The bruising completely went away to my under eyes as I expected it to. I am wondering if some possibly spread to the under eye area as well to rejuvenate that area. Interestingly, I never developed bruising to my temples, only my under eyes, even though my under eyes were not injected. I also got swelling to one of my under eyes that actually comes and goes. I had this happen to another patient as well. She developed a little swelling to the under eyes after I injected her temples. I am wondering if it causes my under eye filler to get more swollen. 🤔

[@rpohpiah]

@@NaturalInjector that's so interesting. We need studies on how injectables travel in the face 🤭. I'm left wondering when the effects of both sculptra and ultherapy wear off, what my undereyes will look like.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@rpohpiah With Sculptra you want the product to spread, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing but I think the temples are unique area and hopefully I will discover more.

[@cristianateodoru5808]

Great video! As I approach mid 40, I start to consider more and more a face lift. No wrinkles, just the structures seems to “fall” a little bit. Would you please, consider to make a video about Sculptra making the lifting process harder?

[@NaturalInjector]

@@cristianateodoru5808 I’m not sure what you mean about Sculptra making the lifting process harder? You mean can you still have a facelift?

[@cristianateodoru5808]

I mean a face, after a treatment with Sculptra, is harder “to lift”. Is harder for the surgeon because the new built colagen “sticks” the tissues, wich makes harder to lift them.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@cristianateodoru5808 Yes it is going to be more difficult for some surgeons than if you had a “virgin free” face but it is still possible. There are other biostimulators though that do not cause fibrosis. Renuva does not. The thing is, most ppl are not going to want to do nothing and let their faces go south until they are ready for a facelift. Also, a facelift does not address loss of volume.

[@Allitc16]

Would you recommend getting filler in certain areas to maintain while also getting sculptra once a year? Or should we only be doing either filler or sculptra?

[@kikilala1087]

Love your videos, Emily! Do you know what someone could inject in their lips to stimulate collagen? And I can't wait for your video on biostimulators for the eye area. I am consulting with a doctor in the UK to have Gouri under my eye.

[@NaturalInjector]

@@kikilala1087 Thank you! I am not sure. I think some injectors can inject PRP to the lips. I have never heard of Gouri. Is it a biostimulator?

[@kikilala1087]

@@NaturalInjector yes it is! Gouri has 21% Polycaprolactone which helps with volume. It's new though so how volume it can give remains to be seen.

[@kikilala1087]

@@markm5498 thank you! I just had a consult with my doctor and she said PCL will not help massively work volume and that it's not advisable to put too much under the eye. And yes if there's a bruise it can be a forever bruise and that quite a number of people are allergic to the products so need to take anti histamines beforehand etc. looks like I'll be doing fillers then cause I can't afford the upkeep with EZ Gel fillers.

What are your thoughts on 1 syringe of JUVEDERM Ultra Plus XC completely metabolizing by the body without needing to dissolve? Also does this type of filler help produce collagen as well? Thank you!

[@NaturalInjector]

@@DB6904. hyaluronic acid fillers would produce very minimal amounts of collagen, if any. With regards to Juvederm ultra plus dissolving on its own I think it depends on how much volume was injected and where the injection took place

[@NaturalInjector]

@@laurieD1970 You can get a facelift but your surgeon would likely want you to stop using injectables before a facelift. I think it depends on when you plan to get a facelift. I usually tell a patient if they want to get a facelift within the next few years, perhaps they should consider stopping

Did you ever find out about the Renunva?

[@NaturalInjector]

I’ve been injected with it 3 times now. I want to do one more treatment in a few months. So far I like it! I have not waited the full 3 months from my 1st session though, so my full effects are not present yet. I think I will be offering this to patients soon. I wanted to test it out on myself first. I can actually offer neck and hands for now if someone wanted to get those areas done, that’s where I feel Renuva is better than other bio stimulators in these areas. Not so much risk of nodules in these areas as opposed to Sculptra which cannot be used in the hands and the risk of nodules in the neck is high because in these areas the skin is thin.
