You’re probably noticing a phenomenon that plastic surgeons took some decades to catch onto: That lifting the facial skin without replacing lost skin volume doesn’t create a completely satisfying rejuvenation. Our skin starts to sag because it’s lost fat, elastin, and collagen that keep it plump, moisturized, and pliable. Merely lifting skin gives you a slightly “windswept” look. So, yes! Please feel free to add the collagen-stimulator Sculptra to your thread lifts so that your face fills out again in a more youthful and flattering way. You’ll notice a much more natural and energized look after you do so. If you want a faster improvement, then I’d recommend either Voluma — which only takes a couple of weeks to “settle in” — or Voluma layered on top of Sculptra. I will say that lifting with PDO or the Silhouette Instalift suture is a good idea for many patients. One can’t lift all sagging with fillers or you will look to full. The combination of sutures and fillers is a wonderful synergy. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to sculpt your face and add more volume with Sculptra or Voluma.
Yes, you can have Sculptra and/or Voluma after your PDO threadlift. It will take 1-2 weeks for results after Voluma and you'll have gradual results over several weeks with Sculptra. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
I would not see any problem with having Sculptra 3 months after a PDO thread lift. I would be sure just to let the physician treating you with Sculptra know about the prior thread lift.
Yes, absolutely. Adding Sculptra to your treatment plan would provide great synergy with the threads. Sculptra is an excellent collagen stimulator. I use a lot of Sculptra in my practice and is one of my favorite treatments for volume loss. Be sure to see a physician who is highly skilled in using Sculptra.
Thank you for your question. You can have Sculptra done after PDO thread lift. Sculptra is an injectable treatment that functions as a volumizer and causes your body to produce its own filler. It is used to add volume to the face. Sculptra is a purified treatment of poly-L-lactic acid. When injected in the face, it stimulates your body to produce additional collagen, which will fill in the desired areas. Your body will begin producing collagen after a few weeks. For more information, it is best to get a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
Yes, it is possible to get Sculptra treatment at this point, 3 months are your PDO thread lifts. Sculptra is a great treatment for facial volume loss!
Yes or even during the PDO Threading lift Sculptra can be injected. Be sure to understand that the Sculptra comes in vials and most under treat themselves because each vial is rather expensive. Also Sculptra injections are usually a series of visits every 3 to 6 weeks till attained satisfaction to the added volume is seen.
Sculptra is Poly-L- Lactic Acid injections, designed to treat hallow cheeks, temples, and nasolabial folds. It works by stimulating collagen production in the dermis to create more volume overtime. Treatments done once a month for up to 6 sessions. Each vials of Sculptra contains 9-18 ml ...
Sculptra is a great product for injecting deep into there skin to volumize the skin. Sculptra doesn't have any effect on pore size. eMatrix laser, PRP with microneedling and Fraxel lasers are all best for pore size. Please consult an expert in facial injections and cosmetic procedures for the...
Sculptra is such a great way to achieve a nice natural rejuvenated look. Typically the timing should be 6-12 weeks apart, but waiting longer does not affect the overall result, it just means that it will take longer to get there. I hope this helps!Dr. Quenby Erickson, DO, FAAD,
