How soon after Fraxel can I get Sculptra injections?

March 14, 2016
Asked By:MaggiesMumma in Chicago, IL

I'm thinking of getting Sculptra to increase volume on my face. I'm 50 yrs old and have had restylane fillers on my cheeks about 10 months ago. I had Fraxel laser done to my forehead and under eye bags on Feb 2, 2016. The Fraxel is still continuing to heal, and looking better every day. My question is: should I wait for several more weeks or months after fraxel? I know Fraxel also stimulates collagen growth, and I'm afraid of over-doing it by injecting Sculptra too soon. How long should I wait?
