Can Juvederm Be Placed in an Area That Has Had Sculptra in It?

Tags: combination, smile lines

I had sculptra placed in my "smile" lines earlier in the year (10 Mo. ago). The fix is subtle, and I did not like waiting so long just to see little result. Plus, it was quite pricey. The lines are not corrected, and I would like a more quick and complete result. I am considering juvederm. Are these two compatible? Thank you for your response.

Juvederm Ultra injected in a area previously injected with Sculptra

Hello and thank you for the question. It is reasonable to have Juvederm Ultra injected in an area previously injected with Sculptra. These two products are generally injected into different tissue planes. In general, Juvederm Ultra is a better choice for management of smile lines than is Sculptra, which is more commonly reserved for volumization procedures, such as the temporal region and hand volume restoration.  Kindest Regards, Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., F.A.C.S. more

Juvederm Can Be Placed In An Area That Has Sculptra In It

There is no problem with placing Juvederm in an area that has Sculptra in it. I would wait at least six weeks so that the full benefit of the Sculptra injection is achieved prior to placing the Juvederm. I believe you will be very happy with Juvederm that is properly injected because the results from Juvederm treatment are apparent immediately, whereas the results from Sculptra take a prolonged period of time to become visible.

Getting Juvederm after Sculptra

It is fine to have Juvederm after you have had Sculptra.  It has been a long time since you had Sculptra, and at this point you see the effects that the Sculptra has had.  If you want another filler treatment, you may have one.  It is always a good idea after you have any filler treatment to wait until you see the effects before you have any more treatments in the same location.  Otherwise you may end up overfilled and unhappy.  As for whether Sculptra and... more

Juvederm can be placed in an area that has Sculptra

Juvederm can be placed in an area that has Sculptra in it. Sculptra is simply a collagen stimulator so all you’re really doing is putting filler in an area that’s having your collagen stimulated. Sculptra itself is not creating the volume. But, Sculptra takes time to show results. You want to wait until the swelling and so forth has gone away before choosing another treatment. If you’re doing it as a refinement to the Sculptra as just a tiny touch up, you may want to... more

Overlaying one filler with another is usually fine.

Overlaying one filler with another is usually fine. They can even be used this by during the same visit. Sculptra is injected deeper than Juvederm and if completely compatiible with it.

Juvederm may be used in area that has Sculptra

Juvederm, unlike Sculptra, is a volume filler, and will give you more of the volume support you are seeking. Sculptra is a "biostimulant" that helps thicken the tissues over time. Juvederm may be "added" to an area that has had Sculptra  without adverse effect. debrairizarry.com

Juvederm and Sculptra can be used in the same site

Sculptra is typically injected in a deeper plane than Juvederm, so they can complement one another quite nicely. I have done this frequently, with fantastic results. There is no problem with mixing these fillers.

Juvederm used in an area previously treated with Sculptra

It is safe to use Juvederm more superficial to the plane that Sculptra was inserted, but if a nodule or lump forms in the future, there might be disagreement on which agent caused the lump. The layered technique or a followup session in which a different filler is used in the same area is not uncommonly done.

Juvederm with Sculptra

There is no problem placing Juvederm in an area where Sculptra has been placed.  In general, Sculptra is placed deeper than Juvederm in the skin so they serve to augment each other.   Dr. Cat Begovic M.D.

Juvederm on top of Sculptra

Juvederm works very well on top of Sculptra because they are generally placed in different layers. Sculptra is usually placed deep against the bone or in the subcutaneous layer. Juvederm is placed in the dermal layer which is more superficial. By the way Sculptra takes several sessions (3-4 typically) to have a visible effect.

Can Juvederm Be Placed in an Area That Has Had Sculptra in It?

I do that frequently. Mixing fillers and stimulators is a very common practice. There is io issue in their combination. Personally I do not use or care for Sculptra I use Stem Cell PRP activated Fat. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091

Juvederm and Sculptra in the same sites

There is no concern when mixing and matching fillers. You should always wait an appropriate amount of time for the filler to develop full effect before adding more of the same, or switching to a different one. Being too hasty may result in over-correction and an unhappy result. Sculptra is generally best suited for volume replenishment, while hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are better for softening lines and outlining and enhancing lip shape.

Juvederm overlay other products

Many doctors use multiple different kinds of fillers to accomplish the results one is looking for.  Certainly Juvederm can be injected in a similar site that Sculptra was already injected.
