How long after PRF microneedling can I have Sculptra?

January 23, 2023
Asked By:MediKate in New York, New York

I had PRF injections to my face two weeks ago and PRF microneedling (0.75mm) two days ago. My last Sculptra treatment was two months ago and the next is planned in 10 days. Would that be too soon? I read conflicting information; I know the Sculptra injections are deeper than the microneedling, but would the skin still need time to heal before I get injections (paired with alcohol to sanitize)? I'm a little worried that 0.75mm was too deep for some areas, so don't want to overdo it.

Hyper diluted radiesse should not be used in the cheek area to begin with, as your body will absorb all of the saline and leave you with whatever radiesse which was actually injected. Approximately four weeks after the procedure with Radiesse you may be able to add Sculptra. But as a general...

Like you said in your question, experience is the most important thing in the treatment using Sculptra. I have been using Sculptra since 1997 and we’ve never had a single complication in a patient. The doctor and the patient have to have a common understanding and an agreement of what it is t...

Leonard Grossman, MD says:

The best way to treat fat loss is with autologous fat transfer. That means taking the fat from an area in your body, where the fat is stubborn, processing it, and re-injecting it with stem cells into the area where the fat loss has occurred. The result should be natural and permanent. I hope...
