Will Sculptra increase overall inflammation throughout the body or just in the area where it's placed?

Thank you for your question regarding Sculptra and its potential impact on inflammation.

Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is primarily designed to stimulate collagen production and is injected into specific areas to address facial volume loss. Generally, the inflammatory response induced by Sculptra is localized to the injection sites. This localized response is a part of the mechanism through which Sculptra works to gradually restore facial volume by stimulating your skin’s own collagen production.

In most cases, Sculptra does not cause systemic inflammation or exacerbate conditions such as endometriosis or recurrent sinus infections. However, individual responses can vary, and it’s important to discuss your medical history and concerns with your healthcare provider.

Given your history of endometriosis and recurrent sinus infections, I recommend consulting with a dermatologist or a specialist familiar with your medical background. They can provide personalized advice and ensure that Sculptra is a safe and appropriate treatment option for you.
