Video of treatment for facial wasting
« on: March 28, 2009, 11:11:57 am »
Here's an interesting and informative video of an actual treatment session for facial wasting.

http://www.thebody.com/content/art50995.html

The improvement is very impressive. This particular treatment program, which uses both Radiesse and Sculptra, would be very expensive, even with the help of a Patient Assistance Program. It would also require periodic touch-ups.

Very nice. Offers folks some concept of the procedure and reasons why people have this or similar procedure done. I particularly appreciated the docs comment on learning curve on treating lipo.

Hi lipoatrophy is barely even noticeable. Really. I would say a grade 1 or so. If I didn't know he was HIV+ I would not have thought there was anything wrong with him.

Very Informative... I had Radiesse injected over a period of 4 months in my face... unfortunately I did not have any pain med mixed in as he did on the video... but, I wanted to have my face back... so far so good... cost for 7 vials and procedure was over $6,000 for the product and $150 per session for 3 sessions... I'm going to have some touch-ups later this year. It's great to have my face back...
