3 Years Later, My Second Series of Sculptra Ineffective

[Guest guest]

Three years ago I received a series of 4 Sculptra treatments, and the

results were as remarkable as many of the folks on this message board

have happily reported. You lose about 15 to 20 years from your

appearance, people stop asking you if you're sick, and you actually

feel good about yourself again.

Last April, I had one treatment intended to serve as the 'touch up'

often described as necessary after about 2 years from the initial

treatment series. There was no effect. In July, I had a second

treatment of Sculptra, and after 2 months past, still nothing. A

third half-treatment (3CC) was administered in Sept, 2005. It is now

Feb 2006, and I still have depressions in my cheeks, which have

actually deepened.

It is puzzling how a substance was so positively effective 2 years

ago, but is now producing no results. I am wondering if anyone else

has had a similar disappointing experience with their second go-around

with Sculptra as I have, what explanations might be available, and

what alternatives might be suggested.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this issue.

The only problem with permanent solutions like Silikon is

just that, they cannot be removed if needed for any number of reasons.

Believe me I love the idea of done once and done with it vs the yearly touch up

but we have no idea what side effects silikon implantation will have in 15-20

years.
