Is Sculptra facial treatment safe for a patient suffering from rosacea?

Question

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

There is no known contraindication of Sculptra and Rosacea.  As Rosacea is a complex dermatologic disorder and can be influenced by many environmental factors, pay close attention to your skin condition afterwards to see if any outward inflammation is noted.  Since Sculptra is typically injected into the subcutaneous layer and deeper, its effects on exacerbating Rosacea would appear to be limited though.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Sculptra is an excellent volume filler for the face and can be used in patients with active rosacea. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

Sculptra is a dermal filler
formulated with poly-L-lactic acid which is meant to stimulate collagen
production and provide long-lasting volume from deep within the dermis. Rosacea
is a condition which will not be affected by dermal fillers, so it should be
safe to have Sculptra. If you are looking for a rosacea treatment, a laser or IPL may
be the way to go. I recommend having an in-person consultation with a
board-certified dermatologist to assess your skin and options.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I do not believe that a Sculptra treatment would affect Rosacea.  The treatments should neither improve or worsen the Rosacea.

Suzanne Kilmer, MD · Answer

Yes, it is a filler that is
injected into the dermis and subdermal region to help your own cells make more
collagen and is independent of rosacea - doesn't make it better or worse...
