I'd like to have 1-2 vials of Sculptra injected, but have a mild autoimmune disease (alopecia areata). It usually only causes 1 small coin-sized patch of hair loss when it flares up. I am otherwise healthy, but am concerned because Sculptra is contraindicated in patients with autoimmune disease. Is Sculptra contraindicated in ALL cases of autoimmune disease, or generally just the most severe? Would it likely cause disease flare-ups, or otherwise be harmful in my case?
I have been diagnosed with Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease which has aged me beyond my 51 years. I am looking for something to bring back volume in my face. I cannot do Voluma due to a negative reaction in the past. I have done 2 full vials in the past 2 months and I love the results for the first couple of weeks and then it seems to deflate again. I know Sculptra takes time but I am wondering if my body just isn't producing any collagen to help this along. I would love any thoughts.
I have MGUS which I monitor each year - no medication. I would like to have Sculptura treatments, but the treatments shouldn't be given if you have any auto-immune disease. Is MUGUS considered auto-immune and is arthritis (which I also have) a disease that would prevent a successful outcome of the treatment as well?
I am 62 yrs old with auto immune issues, Chrohns , polymyalgia rehumatica, and reynaulds. These injectibles are the first that have gotten my interest to fill in my aging face since I am small and and thin. I do know that this method has been successful in HIV patients so I was wondering if it would have any adverse actions on my conditions
