I had 8 cc of Sculptra today and have a micro needling appointment for March 7
Answer: Microneedling too? Congratulations!I use this same technique to enhance the results of the buttock lift and tighten the skin. With the Sculptra causing collagen to deposited inside the tissues and microneedling tightening the skin on the outside, then the results are enhanced. We offer this as a package in our office along with PRP.

Answer: Is There Any Point in Getting Microneedling After Sculptra? Combination Therapy Is Usually Best (Sculptra, Microneedling)
Skin is composed of several layers and therefore improving it often takes more than one kind of therapy. Sculptra and microneedling are a great combination. The Sculptra is injected deeply right below your dermis, where it stimulates the production of new collagen to support the skin. Microneedling also creates new collagen and tightens the skin, but it improves the surface (epidermis and upper dermis) more than the deeper layers. The combination is synergetic and gives really lovely results. With that said, I recommend that you complete your Sculptra series before getting microneedling to get the full effects of that treatment. Sculptra is generally performed in a series of three for most patients and you may be so pleased with the results, you won’t feel the need for microneedling. You could save that treatment for maintenance treatment 3 or 4 months later. Please find a board-certified dermatologist to administer your rejuvenations.

Answer: Microneedling after Sculptra Thank you for your question. Microneedling is often used to help enhance the results of Sculptra treatment. It will in no way negatively impact your Sculptra results. Sculptra is placed deep into the dermis as microneedling only affects the epidermis (top layer of skin). I recommend discussing your concerns with your injector. Best of Luck!

Answer: Microneedling procedure following Sculptra Thank you for your question. There should not be a problem with doing a microneedling procedure following your Sculptra injections. I would probably wait at least 4 weeks following your Sculptra injections. Microneedling creates an injury to the skin which promotes new collagen formation as part of the healing process. It should further enhance the results of your Sculptra injections by improving the texture of the skin. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
