  • How Sculptra works, where it works, and how it’s different from fillers [Colleen Phillips, PA-C - Portland, Oregon]

    Portland aesthetic injector Colleen Phillips, PA-C explains how Sculptra works, the typical treatment plan, why it’s not a last-minute treatment, and the surprising areas beyond the face where it can make a difference.
