Is Sculptra treatment safe while taking Sulfameth/trimethoprim?

Question

I am currently taking Sulfameth/trimethoprim for a urinary tract infection. Can you please tell me if there are any contraindications with regard to receiving a Sculptra treatment while taking this medication? Thank you kindly!

Dallas Buchanan, MD · Answer

There are probably no specific contraindications to this. However, the Sculptra treatment is entirely elective, so it would not be a big deal to delay the treatment until the infection has cleared.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

there is no issue on using sculptra with antibiotics, I would suggest dermarolling at home when you do your sculptra (1-2x a week) as this can help boost collagen more and LED treatmetn (light stim) use at with it.  See link to emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I would recommend waiting until after your UTI has resolved before having any elective cosmetic treatments, including Sculptra.  It is best to have your body in top health before undergoing a cosmetic treatment.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

The problem is not of you taking antibiotics while being interested in getting Sculptra injections. It is the urinary tract infection that can lead to potentially harmful results. Make sure that your infection is gone and then receive your Sculptra treatment. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
