Risks of Sticol Volume Injections

The primary reason for potential risks is the failure to choose a competent and experienced doctor. Injecting in the wrong area may lead to the formation of lumps under the skin, which occurs in about 7-9% of cases. The patient may have to endure these lumps or complications for the entire duration that the PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid) material remains in the body until it dissolves and is absorbed, as there are no reflective agents to break it down and eliminate it. Some lumps may be treated with corticosteroid injections or surgery.

Combining Sticol Volume with Other Techniques

There is no restriction on using Sticol Volume alongside other types of fillers on the same day, provided they are applied to different areas of the face. For example, Sticol Volume can be used in the cheek area, while a filler can be applied to the lower part of the face.

However, it is generally not recommended to perform Sticol Volume injections and filler injections in the same area during the same session. If both types are to be used in one area, such as the cheeks, they should be spaced apart by at least 2-4 weeks.

It is also strongly advised not to inject PLLA over any of the following materials under any circumstances: Artefill, Bellafill, or Silicone, as this could cause permanent deformities, scarring, and large red bumps that cannot be removed.

If the area has previously been injected with Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite), it is recommended to wait 2-4 weeks before injecting PLLA in the same area.

Combining Voulme Sticol Injections and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections

In general, it is safe to use different types of injectables on the same day and in the same area if they belong to the same category. For example, hyaluronic acid injections can be administered deep into the cheek, while PLLA injections can be applied in the same area but at a shallower depth.

Differences Between Volume Sticol and Other Injectable Treatments for Wrinkle Reduction:

  • Gradual and Natural Results: PLLA injections offer gradual results that appear more natural compared to other injectables like fillers and Botox, which provide immediate effects.
  • Long-Term Benefits: Volume Sticol is unique in the world of fillers, requiring three injections over three to four months for long-lasting results, unlike other treatments that last only a few months.
  • Mechanism of Action: Fillers, Botox, and similar treatments work by replenishing lost fat or paralyzing muscles to reduce wrinkles, whereas Volume Sticol is a stimulator that boosts collagen production in large quantities within the skin.
  • Post-Treatment Comfort: Unlike fillers and Botox, where patients must keep their heads elevated for several hours after treatment, Volume Sticol allows patients to lie down immediately after the procedure without concerns.
  • Comparison with Radiesse Injections: Radiesse is typically used for defining the chin and cheekbones, tightening and beautifying the hands, and concealing prominent veins in the hands. In contrast, Volume Sticol is used for stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin radiance, and treating cellulite.
  • Injection Depth: Volume Sticol is injected deeper than traditional fillers, enabling it to directly address volume loss in relatively larger areas of the face. When used around the hairline, it helps maintain overall facial aesthetics and tightens the skin.
  • Absorption Rate: The body absorbs PLLA at a slower rate compared to hyaluronic acid-based products, allowing for more sustained effects.
