Can I get HA dermal filler before Morpheus8 or SylfirmX?

Question

Hello, I am planning to start Morpheus or Sylfirm microneedling shortly for acne scars. I also wanted cheek filler but I have heard these procedures can cause the filler to dissolve or to migrate. Is this true? Should I wait until after the RF procedures to get filler or safe to do it before? I definitely don't want migration. Thank you!

Hi Little Mermaid,
It's usually better to have a skin tightening procedure prior to fillers.  Some fillers are okay along with a radiofrequency treatment such as Profound Rf, Morpheus, or Sylfirm.  Sculptra and hyperdilute Radiesse are bio-regenerative injectables that are fine to have at the same time or prior to RF treatments.  Also if the hyaluronic acid filler is injected deep on bone it is okay to have befroe the RF treatment.  Feel free to contact me with any further questions or for a virtual or in person consultation.  Good luck and be well.

Unlike high frequency ultrasound such as Ulthera, radiofrequency microneedling will have absolutely no adverse effects on the placement or longevity of the filler.  I would suggest waiting several days after filler placement prior to pressure applied to your face.

Fractionated radio frequency microneedling delivers heat into the fatty areas of your face and also into the skin. The purpose of this is to dissolve fat and to tighten the skin. According to the company,  temporary gel fillers like ha may in fact be dissolved by having these procedures. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
