After having sculptra done, how long should I wait before getting prp microneedling done?
Answer: How long after Sculptra before having PRP with micro needling? 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.

Answer: How Long After Sculptra Can I Do PRP With Microneedling? Do Sculptra and Microneedling at Once Sculptra is a dermal filler that is injected deeply into the dermis or just below the dermis of the skin to promote the production of new collagen. Microneedling is performed on the surface (the epidermis) and can reach down into the dermis, depending on the thickness of the skin and length of the microneedles. You would not want deep microneedling and Sculptra on the same day, as the Sculptra could move too superficially and make a bump. Sculptra is a better stimulator of collagen and is used to volumize, create a beautiful facial shape, and firm up loose skin. Microneedling is more for superficial skin texture and very fine wrinkles. If you have problems with both volume loss and poor skin texture, I recommend completing your 2 or 3 Sculptra sessions first. You may have so much skin improvement that microneedling will be unnecessary. After treatment, Sculptra can last 24 months or longer, so it will last much longer than microneedling. However, if you just need surface improvement, microneedling may be preferred. . Generally, I perform Sculptra injections and microneedling with PRP on the same day. If you have Sculptra first, that's fine. You can go ahead and find a board-certified dermatologist to help you with microneedling at any time.

Answer: PRP with Microneedling following Sculptra 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.

Answer: Sculptra and Microneedling Together? Sculptra and Microneedling Don't Interfere With Each Other 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.
