Total FX my first choice here

Mary Lupo, MD answers: Active FX and Sculptra compatible?

I'm considering having both Active FX and Sculptra to fix the deep lines around my eyes. Are they compatible? Which procedure should be done first?

Since Active + Deep FX = Total FX gives such long-lasting results for aging around the eyes, it is my first choice. I usually recommend a little Botox or Dysport 2 weeks before to relax the muscles and allow the skin to heal without as much movement.

While I have used Sculptra in this area, I urge you to be sure your doctor is VERY experienced using Sculptra around the eyes. It is a very advanced technique. If you decide to do both Active FX and Sculptra, I'd do the laser first and wait 6-12 weeks.
