I had CO2 laser surgery which worked well on one side of my face but not the other. I want to try Sculptra to even this problem out. My surgeon says it won’t give me the results I’m looking for, and is suggesting a mini facelift which I cannot afford. Will Sculptra slow down the progression of my cheek wrinkles even if it does not dramatically improve the wrinkles on that side of my face? Will injecting platelet rich fibrin with Sculptra be useful? I’m a65- year- old woman. Thank you.

In my opinion, there would not be a problem with having a Sculptra treatment while using a topical steroid. I would recommend checking with the physician who will be treating you, as they may have a different opinion.
