How common are nodules from sculptra? Is it safe to get with hypothyroidism (controlled)? I'm scheduled for sculptra injections on Friday, can I workout before getting them?
Answer: Sculptra Simply put, Sculptra is very safe and relatively complication free, if applied in the right hands. It is a bio-stimulant , injected into a deeper plane than fillers, encouraging the body to produce collagen. I can safely say that I have used Sculptra for over a decade and have never seen a nodule related to it. There are several rules of the road when using Sculptra: 1) the product must be reconstituted 5-7 days before use in sterile water; I ask my patients to give us 1 week notice, 2) the product must be injected into a deeper plane, adjacent to bone; it should not be used in free soft tissue like the lips, 3) the areas injected must be massaged (5x per day for 5 minutes for 5 days). In my opinion, it is a far more problem free way of adding volume to the face than fat, which is inconsistent and more prone to door and injection site problems.

Answer: Is Sculptra safe and can workouts be done before treatment? I would consider Sculptra very safe when performed correctly. It is not common to develop nodules from Sculptra, but it is a possibility, as with any injectable filler. In my opinion, it would be fine to work out before or after a Sculptra treatment and it would be okay to be treated with controlled hypothyroidism.

Answer: Sculptra safety There are some general risks with application of any type of filler or collagen stimulants but no more likely in patients with history of thyroid issues and no contraindications to work out the day before.

Answer: Is sculptra safe? And is it ok to workout before getting injections? Thank you for your questions. Yes, Sculptra is FDA approved and is safe for use or it would not be on the market. Nodules from Sculptra injection are possible but not common. Discuss your activity before and after injections with your injector as each person has different protocol regarding this.Best of luck!Dallas R.

Answer: Sculptra Safety Sculptra is a Poly-L-Lactic acid filler that stimulates collagen growth in the areas injected. Sculptra is a safe filler when injected by a physician with experience using this product. Sculptra is safe to be injected in a patient with controlled hypothyroidism. It is fine to workout before injections with Sculptra. If you’re worried about bruising, you can avoid working out for 24 hours after injections.
