Question

how long do you have to wait to get fillers or sculptra after you get a c02 laser on the face

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

CO2 laser resurfacing of the face can go to different depths and the deeper it goes, the longer the recovery will be.  You would want to make sure that your skin is fully recovered from the laser before having any fillers or Sculptra done.  In general, I would say that once the redness from the laser has resolved, it should be safe to have fillers done.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Even though it is safe to have injectable fillers placed into the face as soon as the face has epithelialized after a CO2 laser treatment it is not advisable only because there’s some residual swelling which may distort the final outcome. I recommend my patients have fillers approximately one month after the CO2 laser resurfacing. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
