Has anyone tried Sculptra or other collagen-boosting facial treatments?

Thinking of getting something done and Sculptra is what a practitioner suggested for me. (Mind you she also tried very hard to sell me some other stuff too despite my saying NO very firmly from the offset).

I don't want botox. I'd rather not have fillers though might consider in the longer run. I'm happy to wait for the treatment to take effect. In fact I don't want any sudden changes!

I like the idea of something boosting collagen production, which is what Scuptra is supposed to do (or so I understand).

Have you had it? What did you think? Or have you had any other treatments which are supposed to encourage collagen formation?

All information gratefully received!

I’m considering this as an alternative to filler. I had 1ml of filler and had a really strong reaction to it.
i understand that it’s very slow to show results. It’s also not reversible.
ive also looked at Radiesse.

What about skin boosters? Sculptra can’t be dissolved so it last longer with no option of you don’t like. A skin booster might help. Profhilo is probably the most well known. It’ll make you look brighter & stimulates collegen. It’s a course of 2 or 3 depending on the brand over 4-8 weeks & it last around 6 months.
