I would say in most cases, it probably would not make much difference how long you waited to have PRP with micro needling after a Scultpra treatment. Sculptra is normally injected fairly deep and the depth of the micro needling would not reach as far as the Sculptra. Just to be on the safe side, I would say you could wait a month in between the treatments.
Sculptra is adermal filler that is injected deeply into the dermis or just belowthe dermis of the skin to promote the production of new collagen.Microneedling is performed on the surface (the epidermis) and canreach down into the dermis, depending on the thickness of the skinand length of the microneedles. You would not want deepmicroneedling and Sculptra on the same day, as the Sculptra couldmove too superficially and make a bump. Sculptra is a betterstimulator of collagen and is used to volumize, create a beautifulfacial shape, and firm up loose skin. Microneedling is more forsuperficial skin texture and very fine wrinkles. If you have problemswith both volume loss and poor skin texture, I recommend completingyour 2 or 3 Sculptra sessions first. You may have so much skinimprovement that microneedling will be unnecessary. After treatment,Sculptra can last 24 months or longer, so it will last much longerthan microneedling. However, if you just need surface improvement,microneedling may be preferred. .Generally,I perform Sculptra injections and microneedling with PRP on the sameday. If you have Sculptra first, that's fine. You can go ahead andfind a board-certified dermatologist to help you with microneedlingat any time.
Thank you for the question. I have done both procedures at the same time with very good results. Both procedures work quite effectively for acne scarring and complement each other in terms of stimulating collagen production, "softening" the scars. In the same treatment session, I prefer to do the Sculptra injections first and finish with the PRP and micro needling. This way the PRP solution can be "painted" on the skin leaving a healing layer to continue to stimulate collagen superficially. Good luck and have a wonderful day.
we get best results when this is done on the same day, with microneedling or laser. Best, Dr. Emer.
You can do your microneedling at any time after Sculptra – even on the same day. Sculptra is injected much more deeply into the skin than the microneedles can reach. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to have your face rejuvenated with Collagen P.I.N. microneedling and Sculptra for the best results.
Hi,Thanks for your question. It is not necessary to wait to get PRP with microneedling done after having Sculptra injected. Good luck with your treatment!Kevin Cavanaugh, MD
The general effects from a Sculptra treatment cannot be reversed but will gradually diminish over time. If there was an isolated lump or bump, this could potentially be treated with an injection of a steroid or 5-FU.
This can be improved with massage, injections or RF treatments. do not get more sculptra till this is treated, it seems as if the sculptra was injected improperly or diluted too concentrated. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hi, this is a great question. I like to use either Sculptra or Radiesse for jaw contouring and definition in men. I choose Sculptra if my patient has a longer timeline and wants correction over time since Sculptra often takes a few months to start to show noticeable improvement. I use...
