Will Sofwave interfere with ongoing Sculptra treatment or results?

Question

I know this question has been raised several years ago but I’m wondering what the current view is on combining Sculptra with Sofwave. I recently completed 2 of 3 sessions of Sculptra and wonder whether now would be a good time to do Sofwave? Would Sofwave interfere or reinforce ongoing Sculptra treatments and results? Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your question regarding the combination of Sofwave and Sculptra treatments.

Sofwave is a non-invasive ultrasound treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Sculptra, on the other hand, is an injectable that also stimulates collagen production to restore facial volume and smooth out wrinkles.

Combining Sofwave with Sculptra can be beneficial as both treatments aim to enhance collagen production but through different mechanisms. Typically, these treatments can complement each other well. However, it's crucial to space them appropriately to allow your skin to respond and recover adequately from each procedure.

Generally, it is advisable to wait a few weeks between treatments to minimize any potential interference and to monitor how your skin responds to each. Since you have already completed 2 of 3 sessions of Sculptra, it might be a good idea to wait until you have completed the full course and then consult with your dermatologist to determine the best timing for Sofwave.

For personalized advice, I recommend discussing this combination with your dermatologist who can provide tailored guidance based on your specific skin type and treatment progress.
