Sculptra "booster" vial before pregnancy?

Question

I'm trying to conceive in 3-4 months time. I'm considering getting sculptra "booster" vial. Will it affect my future pregnancy? How long should I wait? Thank you.

There should be no issue having a Sculptra treatment prior to pregnancy.  You should be able to have your Sculptra treatment prior to trying to conceive.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Though there are not any safety studies to offer definite advice I see no reason that you can not have your Sculptra "booster" vial prior to conception, especially if planning for 3-4 months out.  Hope this helps.

Sculptra treatments before pregnancy are safe and FDA approved.  I typically create a treatment plan with my patients who are planning to conceive which involves treating with Botox, Sculptra and injectable fillers as the patient will be unable to be treated with this for 9 months after conception.  The work must be completed before pregnancy.  Best of luck.

Sculptra some months before your pregnancy will be fine. Great thinking for you to do some planning ahead.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Sculptra is FDA-approved and a purified treatment of poly-L-lactic acid. It should not conflict with your pregnancy. For more information, it is best to get a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
