Who should not get Sculptra treatments?

Hey there! At KORA Aesthetics in Scottsdale, we love Sculptra for its ability to rejuvenate faces and lift booties naturally. But let’s get real—no treatment is one-size-fits-all. If you’re wondering, “Is Sculptra safe for me?”—you’re in the right place. We’re breaking down who should avoid Sculptra to keep your journey smooth and stress-free.

1. Got Allergies? Sculptra Might Not Be Your Friend #

Check Those Ingredients! #

Sculptra’s magic comes from poly-L-lactic acid (a collagen-boosting superstar) and lidocaine (for comfort). But if your body throws a fit with these ingredients, it’s best to avoid Sculptra. Psst—always spill the beans about allergies during your consultation. Better safe than itchy!

2. Skin Acting Up? Let’s Hit Pause #

Infections and Inflammation Are Red Flags #

Got a pesky cold sore, angry acne, or a rash near your treatment area? Hold off on Sculptra! Injections need calm, healthy skin to avoid flare-ups. If you’re battling eczema or psoriasis, let your skin chill first. We’ll welcome you back when it’s glow time.

3. Pregnant or Nursing? Let’s Play It Safe #

Hormones + Sculptra? Not Yet. #

No judgment here—we’re all about safety for you and your little one. Since there’s limited research on Sculptra during pregnancy or breastfeeding, we recommend waiting. Your collagen can wait a few months; your peace of mind shouldn’t have to.

4. Autoimmune Warriors: Proceed with Caution #

Collagen + Inflammation = Not Ideal #

Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis? Sculptra does kickstart collagen, which might stir up inflammation. Let’s chat alternatives during your consultation. Your comfort is non-negotiable!

5. Bruise Easily? Let’s Strategize #

Blood Thinners and Sculptra Don’t Mix Well #

Sculptra involves tiny needles (don’t worry—we’re gentle!). But if you’re on blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder, you might bruise like a peach. Tell us upfront! We’ll tweak your plan or suggest other options.

6. Want Instant Results? Sculptra Isn’t a Quick Fix #

Patience Is Key (We Swear It’s Worth It!) #

Sculptra isn’t a TikTok filter—it works slowly over 3–6 months as your collagen rebuilds. If you’re dreaming of overnight miracles, you might need to avoid Sculptra. But hey, good things come to those who wait!

7. Keloid Scars? Let’s Talk Risk vs. Reward #

Rare Nodules Are Possible #

If your skin tends to overreact with thick scars or keloids, Sculptra could cause tiny lumps under the skin (super rare, but we’re honest!). A patch test or hyaluronic acid fillers might be safer bets.
