Response from Dr. Pierone
There should be no difference in the final outcome by doing one vial every month but it will take longer to see the improvement. For severe lipoatrophy I don't understand the rationale for this approach, since the need for larger volumes of Sculptra and multiple treatments is self evident. In the cosmetic arena when one is trying correct relatively mild volume loss, a single vial treatment is understandable, and I sometimes do this. Since you can't afford to go elsewhere, it would certainly not hurt to ask your doctor to speed up the process by doing 2 vials at a time. Good luck! | |||||||||
