How long after PRF microneedling can I have Sculptra?

MediKateJan 23, 2023
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.

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...
