My doctor told me that i can't be injected now with sculptra because i have been recently injected with Juvederm. My doctor told i have to wait about 5 months, because of some kind of interaction between both fillers.I didn't really understand what he was trying to say.

Can someone tell me more about this, because it seems like a lot of people are injected with both. Or is my doctor maybe too cautious ?

Sure, both Sculptra and Juvederm are great fillers and can be injected at same time or at different times. Sculptra takes 4-6 weeks to see the results, so I would not mix these two in the same location at the same time for that reason.

Juvederm & Sculptra

Both can be injector at the same sitting. However, your injector will likely use them in different areas in the face to maximize their effects. Sculptra promotes collagen growth and is a gradual process while the fillers show more of an immediate result. Please consult with your board certified specialist who can help you achieve the results you desire.

Sculptra with Juvederm

Physicians with experience using a wide variety of injectable fillers and volumizing substances are generally comfortable treating with more than one filler at a time. In fact, this is often necessary since different fillers are better for treating different areas of the face.

Sculptra and Juvederm do not interact and can be injected in the same face

Sculptra and Juvederm do not interact and can be injected in the same face. Juvederm is a component of collagen adn sculptra is a biostimulant which induces fibroblasts to make collagen.

Juvederm and Sculptra can be used together.

There is no known interaction between Sculptra and Juvederm that I have encountered. I like to use Juvederm in the lips while using Sculptra in the chin, cheeks and temple region. I inject both products at the same time but not in the same place. Sculptra is done first, we then thoroughly massage the area. Juvederm is then injected into the lips and not massaged. One of the great things about multiple injectables is that you can tailor treatment to patients needs. more

Juvederm with Sculprtra on the same day

Juvederm and Sculptra are not the same type of products and work completely different ways. Since Juverderm causes immediate correction of the wrinkle and Sculptra works to add overall volume to the face they can be used at the same time as long as the injector understands the dynamics of each product.

BestTreatment for Injecting Sculptra After Juvederm Injections

Hi www, Dot. Juvederm and Sculptra may be injected at the same time, but usually in different areas of the face. We frequently inject Sculptra to the face, but not in the lips or too close to the mouth, and not in the glabella (lines between the eye brows). In those patients who would benefit from volume in their lips, perioral area, and glabella, we then inject Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, or Radiesse depending on what the individual patient needs. Your... more

Sculptra and Juvederm treatments can be performed at same time or in succession

Sculptra and Juvederm treatments can be performed at same time or in succession. There is no known interaction or contraindication to their use. Juvederm results are immediate. Sculptra has more gradual and long-lasting results. The products complement each other nicely. Dr. Stephen Weber, Facial Plastic Surgeon

Sculptra and Juvederm are frequently injected at the same time

It is important to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers. When treating problems due to volume loss such as cheek hollows and sagging skin beside the mouth, I will almost always use stimulatory fillers such as Sculptra or Radiesse. They are injected deeper, beneath the skin, and will generate more volume to create a much better lifting effect for sagging skin. They work by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen, which is why... more

Injection of Sculptra and Juvederm

Both fillers can be injedted at the same time, even if they are placed in the same part of the face. Most physicians have different indications for each filler. Make sure you understand the rationale for the use of each product..

No interaction between Sculptra and Juvederm

There should not be a problem injecting Sculptra shortly after Juvederm injections. I actually perform similar treatments on my patients. I believe it is nice to give them volume quickly with the Juvederm while they are waiting for collagen growth with the Sculptra.

Juvederm and Sculptra

It is generally safe to injected Juvederm and Sculptra in the same session. As another responder indicated, these soft tissue fillers are in different layers of the skin (Juvederm more superficially, Sculptra in a deeper plane) and so they should not interefere with one another.

Juviderm use with other fillers.

Juviderm use with other fillers can be done since they are used in different layers of the skin and fat. Make sure it is not overdone which is the most common mistake I see,

Juvederm and Sculptra

Great Question. Sculptra is injected typically over the bone or in the subcutaneous fat. Juvederm is injected in the dermis. Radiesse is injected in the deep dermis or superficial fat. I do combine Sculptra and Radiesse at times since the location of injection is very different and should technically not interfere. Similarly, I don't see why Sculptra and Juvederm can not be used, especially in different locations. That being said it is always a good idea to be conservative and cautious.... more

Sculptra and Juvederm

In my opinion, there is no reason that both Juvederm and Sculptra can't be injected at the same time or within a few weeks of each other. There is no anatomic or statistical data to prevent you from proceeding.

Liquid Facelifts often have gel fillers & Scupltra at the same treatment

Injectables work well for non-surgical rejuvenation of the face. I often use gel fillers at the same time I am placing Sculptra, for these reasons: Gel fillers give a short term correction to areas that will take a longer time for Sculptra to correct Gel fillers enhance areas that Sculptra is not indicated for, such as the lips Gel fillers are great for line and wrinkle correction, while Sculptra excels at adding lost structure and support to the face... more

Juvederm and Sculptra

Greetings~ I don't know what areas you are considering injecting but generally speaking you can certainly have Juvederm and Sculptra injected in the same area. Sculptra is used for its stimulatory effects but the results are not noticeable in the short term. If patients want to benefit from Sculptra long term but desire a more immediate effect as well then a filler like Juvederm can be used in the same area. We don't use Sculptra in the lips. In our use of... more

Sculptra and juvederm may be injected into the same regions

Sculptra is injected more deeply than Juvederm so the two products should not interact in a physical sense. Sculptra is a volumizer which stimulates your body to produce new collagen whereas the Juvederm is an immediate filler that stays in the plane it is injected. There may be further correction in the overlying tissues as the deeper tissues fill over months after the Sculptra has been placed. Your doctor may be concerned about overcorrecting you and may wish the... more

Ronald Shelton, MD
Manhattan Dermatologist

Short answer is yes. Probably...

If your surgeon is telling you that he wants to wait it may be because he is worried about overcorrection. The Sculptra takes a few months to reach its maximum correction so if you injected another filler at the same time, when the Sculptra took full effect, you may have too much volume in the treated areas. If the juvederm was done first, then you should be able to tell quickly what its effect will be and Sculptra should be safe to perform at that point.
