Jim: A NewFill kit consists of two vials. My doctor's standard proceedure was to use one kit per session ( a vial for each cheek). Since I had 6 sessions total, I used 6 kits (12 vials). One note: approximately 40% of each kit was "wasted" at my first 3 sessions. Initially, I was treating both cheeks AND temples and approximately 40% of each kit went into my temples. But after 3 sessions, I saw no result whatsoever in the temples and I instructed the doctor to henceforth treat only the cheeks. Hope this helps you out! Fred

Mornin' Fred. My name is Jim, I live in Dallas. Can you inform me as to how much NuFill was injected during each session? I know it may differ from patient to patient. How many vials did you have to purchase to acheive the results in your case? I am in the process of consulting with Plastic Surgeons and Dermatolgists but would like the additonal input from a patient who has actually undergone the procedure(s). Thank you and my regards, Jim

My facial lipatrophy was initially diagnosed as moderate/severe and my cheeks now are full and normal-looking. I think most NuFill patience will agree with me when I state that patience is a must - no instant results here. I saw little result from the first two or three treatments, but dramatic progress became apparent by the sixth treatment. Bear in mind that, as I understand it, NuFill is not a filler or implant in the traditional sense; its purpose is to stimulate real, natural growth of your own skin. This is why there is a three week interval between treatments so that the injected solution can stimulate said growth.On the down side, there is a degree of "lumpiness", but nothing overly noticeable. I have seen very little degradation since my last treatment. In fact, this coming week I have an appointment for a "touch-up" treatment where I'm hoping to further smooth-out my cheeks. I am told these maintenance treatments are recommended about once a year. Also, I have severe atrophy in my temples as well; I had about 3 NuFill treatments in the temple region with absolutely no result. I have heard anecdotally that other people as well have had poor results with NuFill in the temples. I am currently investigating other treatment options for my temples. Your statement of product & injection costs were right on the money. Good Luck! Fred
