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.
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.
Thank you, ladies, for the video! Such awesome education and deals on these different treatments 🎉 I'd book, but I'm in Michigan 😱 While I've had many different treatments at a wonderful medspa here, I really want to book a series of Emface next!
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?
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?
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 ?
