After Sculptra treatment my face now has acne. What can I do?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Acne requires a combination approach to get long term improvement. I recommend a combination of Cosmelan, salt facials, peels, lasers, microneedling/prp, blue light therapy, radiofrequency and isotretinoin. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Sculptra is not known to cause acne, but it is possible to get bumps at the injection sites and even have some granulomas from the sculptra itself. I would recommend going back to your doctor to make sure you are not having an adverse reaction and to be evaluated for proper treatment of your acne.
