If I get Sculptra injections can I still do my weekly body contouring cupping sessions?

Question

How does Sculptra really works? Is it a filler that only does camouflage? Or does it really treats cellulite? I was wondering if I get Sculptra injections if I can still do my weekly body contouring cupping sessions or it will make the Sculptra filler dissolve?

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

Sculptra is not a filler per se but rather a collagen stimulant.  Placing small amounts of sculptra under the skin can improve cellulite by stimulating collagen.  It could be used in conjunction with cupping.  You might also want to consider adding Endermologie which can work with sculptra to improve cellulite.

Thank you for your question. Sculptra Aesthetic is a bio-stimulator that increases your body's production of collagen. This helps to fill out and strengthen the skin tissue. By itself, Sculptra may not eliminate deep divots because of the tethering of the skin by fibrous bands beneath the skin. In situations such as this, we often combine Sculptra with either Cellfina to release the bands or Venus Legacy for patients who want to avoid a minimally invasive procedure. It would be fine to continue your weekly cupping sessions.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Hi there,Well actually Sculptra isn't exactly a filler.  If you do a little research you will see that it stimulates your own collagen which makes the product very natural looking..  If injected properly you should have great results.  Cupping should still be no problem! Best of luck...
