Fractional CO2 Laser After Restylane and Sculptra?

Facial fillers such as Restylane and Radiesse are offered in my plastic surgery practice and in Los Angeles, they are common among all cosmetic specialists.  I have been asked to perform these fillers in combination with fractional CO2 and prefer to stage the two treatments in order to avoid post-inflammatory side effects.  I do recognize and treat melasma in conjunction with facial fillers or fractional CO2 and believe most patients should optimize skin health with the Melaquin AM and Melaquin PM system. 

Fillers can absolutely be done before or after laser resurfacing treatments.  I often recommend patients undergo the laser procedure first followed by filler a month or so later, but its also fine to do fillers and follow up with laser.  On some occasions, I will treat patients with fillers and perform their laser resurfacing procedure at the same time. Discuss this with your treating physician, as some of the details will depend on what type of laser you are having done and where the fillers are being injected.
