In my opinion, it would fine to have Sculptra treatment in a patient with Hashimoto's disease. The disease should not affect the results of the Sculptra injection and the Sculptra should have no effect on the Hashimoto's disease. You may want to discuss this with your primary care doctor or the doctor that treats your Hashimoto's disease prior to being treated with Sculptra.
Hashimoto's disease should not be a contraindication to sculptra injections. However, make sure to discuss with your treating Endocrinologist any procedure that you plan to undergo.
Hashimoto’s disease should not be a contraindication to having Sculptra injections. However, I would make sure to tell your injector about your condition and clear it with your primary doctor first.
Hashimoto's would not reducte the effectiveness of Sculptra and Sculptra injections should not affect the natural history of Hashimoto's dsiease. Discuss with your endocrinologist.bestDr Karamanoukian
Sculptra should be fine with Hashimotos.Hashimotos is somewhat common and sculptra is not contraindicated with this condition.
The concern in using Sculptra in those with an altered immune system is based on the fact that Sculptra depends on the immune system to biodegrade it. The degradation process leads ultimately to collagen formation and firming of the skin. In the HIV population most of the granulomas that formed were ultimately felt to be due to either occult infection or an overly concentrated injection, a technique that has since changed. The Hashimoto's antibodies to the thyroid would not be expected to interfere with your body's degradation of Sculptra in the skin. Ultimately it is a decision that you are your physician must discuss. I agree with Dr. Echavez's comments below. He is an expert in Sculptra injections of both HIV and non-HIV patients. I would not feel the presence of Hashimoto's disease would interfere with the Sculptra process if your endocrinologist agrees and there is not a more generalized or serious additional immune disease present.
Sculptra is a great treatment for natural re-volumization of the face. I see no reason that Hashimoto's would be a contraindication. If you have concerns, I would discuss them with your endocrinologist prior to treatment. Be sure that you chose an expert for your injections
Sculptra is a great treatment for volume loss. Unlike other fillers, it is a biostimulatory filler, meaning it results in collagen formation from our own cells. One potential side effect of sculptra treatments is the appearance of palpable or visible nodules; these tend to occur weeks to m...
Sculptra injections are a great way to restore volume. These injections work by stimulating our cells to create collagen. Most patients require several sessions and several vials to create optimal improvement. Best results are usually seen about 3 months after the last session. As with all...
Collagenase injections are approved for use in contractions of dupuytren's. These injection are not predictable for use in the face and should be avoided; likely the result would be worse than present. Some patients have a vigorous response to sculptra creating volume with as little...
I use this all over the body, chest wrinkles, arm wrinkles, knees and face. I find that its best in combination with a radiofrequency or ultrasound skin tightening device or even thermiRF. Best, Dr. Emer.
Sculptra is a great filler to combine with hyaluronic acid fillers either at the same time or in separate visits. Since the fillers work differently, there is usually a synergistic effect of providing instant volume and lift as well as increased skin quality and collagen. There...
Thank you for your question and for sharing your concerns. Very few physicians do Sculptra to begin with as this is a much more nuanced injectable product compared to the traditional dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. Even fewer will consider Sculptra for body contouring...
