Cortisone is a steroid, can you have an injection while going through Sculpsure?
Answer: Cortisone Shot and SculpSure Cortisone injections when used for joint injections have little absorption outside the joint. This would little or no effect with a SculpSure treatment. Nor would SculpSure affect the effectiveness of the cortisone shot. If you are referring to giving cortisone at the treatment site or an Iv injection I would not recommend getting SculpSure done in that case. You may see a poorer response.

Answer: Steroid injections and SculpSure Steroid injections are commonly used to decrease inflammation, usually in joints. Steroid injections theoretically can suppress the inflammatory response to SculpSure, which (theoretically) could blunt its efficacy; this has not been well studied. Steroid injections can be associated with a tendency to elevate blood sugar for at least a week after treatment. Consequently, I would advise waiting at least 2 weeks between a steroid injection and a SculpSure treatment.

Answer: Cortisone injection during SculpSure treatment It would be best to put it off until at least a month after a treatment, but it somewhat depends on where the injection is. If the injection is in a joint, the steroid is less likely to affect the entire body than if the injection is in soft tissue.

Answer: Can you get a cortisone shot during Sculpsure treatments? Steroids are an anti-inflammatory product. That said while one might want to avoid an injection into the area recently treated, getting a joint or spinal block would not have a negative effect on your Sculpsure treatment.
