How long after fat grafting can I get microneedling, Fraxel laser, Ultherapy, etc. done?

I got fat grafting done in my forhead and cheek area about four weeks ago. Now I am interested in skin tightening and acne treatments. I want to do IPL, fraxel, microneedling, facials, chemical peels, Ulthera, and other treatments but I am worried that the heat or something else might dissolve or have some kind of negative effect on my fat grafting. How long should I wait till it is safe to do these kind of treatmemts so it wouldn't effect the fat in my face? Thank you!

OK many reasons why. Firstly does this treatment work? Yes, but results and outcomes are determined by -1. Candidate selection. Just a guide out of 5 patients who ask for Ultherapy we only perform 3 out of the 5. In our practice in Brisbane Australia, 40% of candidates who ask for this treatment...

The effect of Ultherapy on facial fat loss has been studied in detail by the FDA and it is not significant. They have not issued any warnings or cautions. If a full face treatment was done and all the energy was delivered to the layer which contained some fat - which is not the case with the...

A medium viscosity filler such as Vollure® or Juvederm UP XC® should take care of all the issues you mention, if injected by an experienced and talented filler injector. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.
