How long do you have to wait to smoke one or two cigarettes a day after having sculptra injections?

Question

Will it hamper the success rate?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

We surmise that smoking limits the amount of neocollagenesis after stimulatory fillers. Try to minimize the amount of nicotine used and this may further enhance your ability to build collagen. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

While smoking, of course, has many negative effects on health, there are no studies to prove that smoking after a Sculptra treatment would effect the ultimate results.  So, you could smoke immediately after the procedure.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

I highly recommend following up with your doctor
to be sure you are healing properly from Sculptra. It is best to follow your
doctor’s instructions about how long you should wait for smoking; as this may
affect the longevity of the filler.

Adrian M. Guevara, MD · Answer

Smoke away.  Smoking doesn't affect the results with Sculptra.  It does however age the skin.  So the more you smoke, the more products and procedures required to stay in shape skin-wise.
