So informative, better then most doctors in an actual visit. All your patients look like a healthier version of themselves and not as if they had something done. Very tempting to go to New York from Chicago to get this done.

Sculptra is amazing if you suffer from overall volume loss. I'm 33 (haven't found a lot of comments from people in their 30s, so I hope it will be helpful), but I have always been very thin + I practise sports. I was initially considering fat transfer, but I don't have enough of it. Like many people mention, I was scared about the risk of nodules, but my doctor prepared it 7 days before the procedure to let it "sit". I have had absolutely no side effects, no pain, bruising, swelling, nothing. I felt 100% normal immediatelty after the injection. Different people react in a different way, but many of the comments online are so exaggerated... My only regret is that it can't be injected under the eyes.

Would a similar video comparing sculptra vs. prp/prf be possible? I'd love to hear the Doc's take on it.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 года назад

Hi Barbara Ott, Sculptra is for creating volume as a bodily reaction to poly-L-lactic acid; while PRP or PRFM is for improving skin quality and stimulating collagen, not for adding significant volume. The two can't really compared as they are used for different issues. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@MP-dz2ki 2 года назад

Hi Dr. Prasad. Very informative Videos. I was thinking of getting Ellanse, as it is also supoposed to boosr the collagen and eventually lead to an overall natural look. What is your opinion on it? I heard that apparently nodules can appear as as side effect.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 года назад

Hi M F, Ellanse is not FDA-approved in the US, where I practice. I do prefer separate collagen stimulation for improving skin quality, and hyaluronic acid fillers for enhancing volume as this treatment combination is more predictable than relying on a reaction to the filler material to create volume. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi what filler would you recommend for hip dip?

@allegri9cl 5 лет назад

It was really helpful.. i am a 26 year old woman and i am looking sadder and thinner in my face compared to the 2-3 year old me, where my skin was plumper and full of colour. Lifted... i was thinking of doing sculptra anywhere n everywhere i think that ive lost volume.. so definitely cheeks, side of cheeks, temples, even forehead over eyebrows, cheekbone under the eye and nasolabial.. now i am wondering whether or not i should do it. One of the reasons i wanted to do Sculptra was how naturally it produces collagen and lasts longer. But the graph in the video showed voluma lasts longer, however sculptra usually needs 3 sessions if im not wrong. Please answer my question if possible, will sculptra make skin look healthier, plumper wherever injected and give some volume back? I have lost some fat/ volume from my face and skin looks thinner and sagging. If sculptra reverses that, and slightly lifts everything up, Id love to go for Sculptra if Injectable in those areas. Appreciate 🙏🏻

@AmiyaPrasadMD 5 лет назад

Hi allegri9cl, 26 is still very young for facial filler treatment. I wouldn't recommend treatment at this age unless there is a genetic condition that caused volume loss. I do prefer hyaluronic acid fillers like Voluma because adding volume and shape is more controllable than Sculptra, which relies on an anatomic reaction to create volume, but in a less predictable way. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Thank you very much for this informative video! I hope you could help with a question - as a male in my early 30s, I am a runner and have very low body fat, which means my face is very gaunt and I have sunken cheeks which I am not happy about. I look similar to Hugo Weaving from the old Matrix movies if you want a reference - with a "protruding" looking mouth area. Would you recommend Juvederm or Sculptra in this case, to get full cheeks when I won't be able to achieve any volume from natural fat gain?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 года назад

Hi Raedsel, I would have to examine your face before making a specific recommendation, especially since you are still very young, and not affected by age-related facial volume loss. I hope this helps you.

@kathyyoest4085 2 года назад

I love your videos - very educational. I am 67 , look good for my age and am very fit - but recently lost weight ( 12 lbs ) due to stopping all sugar. I lost volume in my face and have vertical wrinkles on the sides of my mouth area. also my eye lids sag. I have been investigating treatments as I would prefer not to do a facelift. what do you think of : cool laser and microneedling RF for skin improvement due to sun damage and tightening - botox on the sides of eyes for a slight lift and around crows feet - hylauronic acid filler ( voluma ) in cheek areas to raise the volume there ? thanks.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 года назад

Hi Kathy Yoest, Thanks for watching! I hope you understand that I can't recommend specific treatments for you without examining your face first. At your age, it's important to know that devices for skin tightening cannot replace surgical lifting, and can make things worse. Meeting with a surgeon who can do surgical lifting, as well as perform non-surgical treatments is important for unbiased evaluation, and for best recommended treatments. You can refer to this video about why devices cannot replace surgical lifting procedures - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z5lx39-c0sE.html

Dr. Prasad, maybe you help... I had Sculptra injected into my temples that left me with big nodules that look like horns. My doctor flushed them with saline 3 times with no improvement. Recently she treated them again with a cocktail of hyaluronidase and steroid with no improvement. Can you please recommend anything else to dissolve them? I'm desperate and crying daily from this deformity 😭😭😭

@pinkconfessions 3 года назад

If using sluptra how many treatments before the skin repairs itself I heard that the sluptra has an ingredient that helps collagen grow or is just a filler type for the face?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 3 года назад

Hi Angelic Princess, Sculptra does not actually repair skin, and the collagen it can possibly stimulate isn't much. Sculptra creates volume due to inflammation from the foreign body reaction to poly-L-lactic acid, so volume is unpredictable. Hyaluronic acid fillers on the other hand, do create volume more predictably, and do not cause a foreign body reaction since hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the skin and throughout the body. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@hammypie 6 лет назад

In your experience with your patients on average how long does the Voluma last before the results start to noticeably fade when you do structural filling to plump up the face

@AmiyaPrasadMD 6 лет назад

Hi hammypie, With deep placement of Volume through Structural Volumizing, we can expect 1-2 years of effectiveness. However, volume from a filler like Voluma diminishes gradually, and not suddenly, so results can last even longer, depending on the metabolism of the patient. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Amiya Prasad, M.D. Sir, about hiv positive people who experience moderate facial loss do you recommend voluma ? Thank you in advance

@AmiyaPrasadMD 6 лет назад

Hi LAMPROS PAMPRIS, I would have to do a physical exam to determine what is best for you as HIV may result in more global facial volume loss. Sculptra was developed specifically for global facial volume loss experienced by HIV-positive people. I would need to see your situation before giving a specific recommendation. I hope this helps you.

@lampros1983 6 лет назад

Amiya Prasad, M.D. dear sir, first I really thank you for your comment, as I am in Greece it would be quite difficult for physical exam, would be ideal to send you some photos of my face by different angles by email , I understand it is not the proper way but just to have a little bit more specific idea, it would be really helpful to me! I really thank you in advance

@vidalskinship9821 2 года назад

Is the volume shown in the face by Sculptra actual collagen or scar tissue due to the inflammation response to the main ingredient found in Sculptra?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 года назад

Hi VidalsKinship, The body's reaction to poly-L-lactic acid is to stimulate collagen, not scar tissue or inflammation. However, since it's a reaction by the body, the volume effect, and shape can be more unpredictable than a moldable hyaluronic acid filler that can be custom shaped. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Would sculptra be a good product for someone in there mid 20s with volume loss due to acne scarring and recent weight loss. I can stretch the skin on my cheeks and neck like 2 inches away from my face.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 2 года назад

Hi Leroy Jenkins, An examination is needed before recommending specific treatments, especially for someone as young as you who would not normally need filler treatment. Sculptra is tricky because volume is created by biological reaction to poly-L-lactic acid, so results are unpredictable. Filler used for tissue loss due to acne scars for people your age is usually very precise. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@supnazaidi8228 4 года назад

Hi Dr. Prasad - Do you find patients of different ethnic backgrounds aging differently, and thus, needing different recommendations generally? I may be wrong, but I feel South Asian women, like myself, sag around the jawline more noticeably first, than wrinkle as we age. Are fillers the way to go?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 4 года назад

Hi Supna Zaidi, There are some ethnic differences in aging, such as darker skin less prone to photoaging/sun exposure does remain thicker than lighter skin.

Hi so I've already done Subcision (x2) + TCA Cross (x2) + PRFM (x2) + RF Infini (x3) + Focus Picosure (x3) and now my dermatologist says I'll have to do 1 session of Sculptra. I have severe atrophy loss due to acne scars on both my cheeks. Do you think Sculptra is the best filler for me and also is there anything else I should know about Sculptra? Please reply thank you so much! :)

@AmiyaPrasadMD 4 года назад

Hi Eddie Zarate, As explained in the video, Sculptra relies on the body's reaction to poly-L-lactic acid to create volume, so results are less predictable. This is in comparison to hyaluronic acid fillers which are moldable and don't rely on systemic reactions to add volume, so results are more predictable and precise, but also may not last as long as the material is gradually and safely metabolized by the body. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@gabriellanoelle1606 4 года назад

Also would you still consider Sculptra a good option for myself since I already completed the procedures mentioned in my previous comment?

Hi@@gabriellanoelle1606, A good diet and healthy lifestyle will always improve your overall appearance as when you are healthy, it shows in your appearance. I will have to defer to your doctor's judgment as they have examined your face, and already performed treatment, so while I can describe the differences of the two fillers, it's not my place to question their recommendations. I hope this helps you.

@kimboeskeim397 6 лет назад

Does voluma shift after placement in the cheek or under eye area. I’m concerned that because I sleep on my side that it will negatively impact my potential results (I’ve been unsuccessful in sleeping on my back!)...my practitioner is recommending 1 per cheek & 1/2 per under eye areas to correct volume loss, sagging & tear trough troubles...🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

@AmiyaPrasadMD 6 лет назад

Hi Kim Böes Keim, I place Voluma in the cheeks deeper than most doctors, between the bone and the muscle in a procedure called Structural Volumizing/ Y Lift, where it won't shift. If it's placed at the soft tissue level, there is more risk of shifting, but not necessarily caused by your sleeping position. I wouldn't recommend Voluma under the eyes as it's a thicker filler recommended for the cheeks, chin, and jawline. I would apply a softer filler under the eyes like Restylane or Juvederm. I hope this clarifies things for you.

When you say collagen is it real collagen being created by the body? Or is this from the sculptra filler? Is it permanent?

Hi Jon Malkowvich, There are many treatments for deep acne scars, so I would have to examine your situation before making any recommendation.

The last diagram is very helpful Many of the medspas warned of Sculptra due to the side effect of generating noodles or granulomas that can either go by massaging or can Never go away. What's your intake about it? and from the diagram Voluma is the longest and (thicker? mean more volume, right?) What if you have high motabolisam is sculptra better? Thanks so much

@AmiyaPrasadMD 5 лет назад

Hi Wan Das, I do prefer hyaluronic acid fillers like Voluma as they are more predictable in terms of results. Sculptra is a different kind of filler as it relies on biological reactions with your body to create volume, and is more for global facial volume loss due to illness rather than a cosmetic treatment for facial volume loss due to aging. Voluma is the thickest and longest lasting hyaluronic acid filler. It doesn't mean more volume, but different fillers are used on different areas. For example, Voluma is a thicker filler for bone loss in the cheeks or chin, but is not appropriate for the under eye area or lips where you need a softer filler for movement. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 3 года назад

Hi@@nutech1810, Sculptra or poly-L-lactic acid causes metabolic reactions to create volume, so it's not just a filler. However, since these are caused by reactions within the body, the volume it creates is not as predictable, but the volume can last longer since it's not hyaluronic acid like Voluma which metabolizes in about 2 years. I would have to examine your face and discuss your goals with you before I can make specific recommendations for you. I hope this helps you.

So Sculptra really does increase collagen … which stays lot longer in face ?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 3 месяца назад

Hi @zibtihaj3213, While Sculptra does stimulate collagen, and results can possibly last longer than filler, the collagen and volume stimulated by Sculptra are due to a biological reaction. However, this makes the results of Sculptra unpredictable, while the results of filler are more customizable, and precise. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Dr. I have a round fat face already in addition to the weight gain so it’s even fatter and more rounder. However, I have those bags and mine seem to go more outward than others like a puffy bag.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 5 лет назад

Hi Nikia Williams, Sorry to hear about your problems. Eye bags can be evaluated for possible surgical sculpting and removal of the fat that causes them. Dark circles under the eyes may be treated with platelet-rich plasma and possibly laser treatment. I would have to physically examine your lips and jowls before recommending treatment. I hope this helps you.

@eliadvo 3 года назад

can you reverse sculptra and is it ok to use in the tear trough?

@AmiyaPrasadMD 3 года назад

Hi Elizabeth Schaible, Poly-L-lactic acid in Sculptra triggers the body to create its own volume, so it's not reversible. I don't advise Sculptra to be used in the tear trough because the volume effects are unpredictable. A softer hyaluronic acid filler for the tear trough is what I would advise for my patients.

@AmiyaPrasadMD 3 года назад

Hi@@eliadvo, Even surgery won't do it because poly-L-lactic acid causes diffuse inflammation all over the face to create volume. All you can do is wait for the material to metabolize, and effects to dissipate. I hope this clarifies things further for you.
