I have used Sculptra to fill the nasal labial area of my face as a treatment of lipoatrophy from the long term use of HAART therapy. i have been over the moon from my results and would like to use it i place of Botox for the creases between the eyebrows if it is a viable treatment option. not a fan of the "dead face" results from the paralysing of the muscles.

No, Sculptra is NOT a substitute for Botox.

No, Sculptra is NOT a substitute for Botox. It is a completely different injectable and works in a different way. Only Dysport or Botox will work between the eyebrows to relax the muscles and reduce the lines/wrinkles. see video

Botox and Filler for brow crease...NO Sculptra!!!

Sculptra is NOT a 'muscle relaxer' nor a 'filler'. Sculptra is a 'volumizer' with multiple treatments needed to optain optimal results. It is optimally used for lipoatrophy in the face. It has amazing results when used correctly and in the appropriate patients. If you already have a indent/crease in between your eyebrows due to years of scowling and being very expressive your best option, and safest option, is to have a... more

Sculptra should NOT be used between Eyebrows

As other plastic surgeons and dermatologists have already mentioned, Sculptra must be avoided in the eyebrow or eye areas. Sculptra is great for its intended use in the cheek and midface areas, especially for lipoatrophy or volume loss with facial aging. However, Sculptra has not been FDA approved in the eyes or eyebrows. Complications may occur. Better alternative are hyaluronic acids, such as Restylane or Juvederm to add volume to furrows, creases, and wrinkles between the eyebrow, in... more

Sculptra between the Eyebrows

3131959anon in Australia You should know that over a decade ago, the only "filler" we had at the time, Collagen, was reported to cause dead skin on occasion when injected between the eyebrows. Any filler material you have injected here increases your risk for trouble. It is not a matter of Sculptra vs Restylane or Juvederm. Botox is the safest choice. Your fear of the "dead face" is exaggerated as long as the Botox is used properly. Stay safe.

Sculptra be used between the eyebrows in place of Botox

First NO! the filler/stimulator sculptra is NOT to be used between eyebrows. But Botox is not a filler so you are confusing the two products and their usage and actions. Go discuss with a boarded doctor in your area.

Avoid Sculptra between the brows, but use both Botox and another filler for best result

The groves between the brows are created both by muscle activity as well as tissue atrophy, especially in male patients. Our best results come from injection Botox about 7 days before the filler to slow or stop the muscle activity and then injectioning the filler.  It usually is Perlane for minor groves, but we do use Radiesse for male patients with deep groves.

Avoid Sculptra between the eyebrows

Sculptra should not be used between the eyebrows as there is a risk of large particles causing obstruction of blood flow and development of a skin ulceration and scarring of a wide area of the forehead. Restylane and Juvederm Ultra are used in this location.

No Sculptra here

Sculptra will lump here. However, HA fillers like Restylane and Juvederm can be used. They work best on top of a LITTLE Botox or Dysport so the movement does not break down the HA as fast. I am so glad you love your Sculptra!
