If I have IPL on my face in between treatments, will it affect the Sculptra?

No, this won't negatively impact your Sculptra results. Sculptra is a great product for improving facial volume and collagen building, but for best results, I recommend using it in a combination depending on desired results. I combine Sculptra with other fillers, lasers, toxins and skin care to give immediate results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Most people have more than one aging-related issue and the aging occurs at different depths and in different tissues. Therefore, to get the most satisfactory rejuvenation, it is common and in fact preferable to combine several different kinds of treatments. 
Sculptra is injected in the level below the skin and therefore will not be affected by surface treatments, such as erbium lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL). Several studies have demonstrated these combination treatments to be safe. However, be sure your skin has healed from the laser treatments before getting your next set of Sculptra injections. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to manage your anti-aging regimens so that you'll look younger and fresher in 10 years than you do now. 

Hello,There is no problem in having the IPL or Erbium laser 4 weeks after laser.  However, planning ahead of time for the second session of Sculptra is important in that we recommend you do not have any redness, crusting, or healing of skin when having an injection treatment of any kind.

In my opinion, it would be fine to have an IPL treatment in between Sculptra treatments. The Sculptra injections are normally placed fairly deep under the surface of the skin and the IPL would not penetrate to that depth.  The IPL should not affect the Sculptra results.  I would recommend discussing this with the physician who treated you with Sculptra though, as your physician may have a different opinion.  

There will be no affect on your Sculptra with any laser, RF, or IPL. There should be no worry whatsoever. There have been numerous studies to show that these procedure have no affect on fillers. With the collagen fillers such as Sculptra, there actually might be a synergistic affect to improve the results of the collagen produced.

Thank you for your question. IPL or erbium laser treatments following your Sculptra injections should not be a problem. You should discuss the timing of your second set of Sculptra injections relative to the timing of your IPL and erbium laser treatments with your aesthetic physician.
