This guide covers the second step of a Sculptra appointment: where on the body the injections go. The answer starts with your own lines and wrinkles.

Where the injections go

Cleveland Clinic words it this way. You might get Sculptra injected into areas of your body where you have lines and wrinkles that you want smoothed out.

The sentence ties the injection site to your own lines and wrinkles. Decide which ones bother you before the visit so you can name them. The American Academy of Dermatology offers background on younger-looking skin if you want the wider context first.

Facial and neck areas in the research

The title of one PubMed Central (NIH) paper, Advances in Poly-l-lactic Acid Injections for Facial and Neck Rejuvenation, shows that facial and neck use is a subject of published research.

Reading the evidence across the face

Another PubMed Central (NIH) paper, Comprehensive Systematic Review of Poly-L-Lactic Acid in Facial Clinical Application, is a systematic review of facial use. A review is a starting point for questions, not a map of your own treatment.

Before you move on

Write down the lines and wrinkles you want addressed, in the order they bother you. The American Academy of Dermatology also covers many ways to firm sagging skin, useful if you are comparing options in Harrison or nearby Rye. Next, read about Sculptra results and risks.
