I am interested in getting Fractora Firm. How long should you wait after recent fillers?

Question

However I have heard that it can dissolve any fillers you may of recently had. How long should you wait after recent fillers. I can not find anything about this.

We use Fractora in our office and it is great for resurfacing, tightening, and lightening the skin.  You can still have it after the filler if it was placed deep enough or the application of Fractora is away from the location of the filler.  For example, if you had filler in your lips you shoud be okay to do Fractora on your cheeks or forehead.  Generally we recommend doing the energy procedures prior to fillers with the exception of maybe Sculptra.  Some current research is looking into doing the opposite sequence but I would wait until we know more.  I would discuss this with your doctor and see if he/she can offer alternatives to Fractora such as IPL.

Thanks for your question, Mona. Fractora is an awesome procedure but we don't recommend having it over top of mid-superficial dermal fillers. These include Belotero, Restylane, Restylane Silk, Juvederm Ultra, and others. Voluma or Sculptra should be okay if they were placed deep enough. I'd recommend going back to the provider who did your injection and talk to a doc about Fractora. Usually we just have folks wait 4 months but if you were in a hurry, most of the fillers can be dissolved first.
