At my consultation my dermatologist wanted to use sculptra to restore volume to my face. I wanted more immediate results, so I chose radiesse instead. While I see a difference in my face from the radiesse, I think I would like to try sculptra to see if I can get more volume than I have from the radiesse. Being that I just recieved the radiesse treatments a month ago, would it be too soon to start the sculptra treatments?

Radiesse and Sculptra are quite compatible

I often combine Radiesse and Sculptra treatments, even on the same day, as I feel they each have certain advantages, when properly used, to fix specific problems due to volume loss. Radiesse is gel-based and gives instant results that last one to two years. It works best for cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and the jaw line. Sculptra is water based so it is easier to place more diffusely underneath the skin. The results are very gradual and take several treatments to see... more

Can I Get Scupltra 1 Month After Radiesse To Add Volume To Face?

I see no reason that Sculptra couldn't be added to the same area where Radiesse was placed a month ago. Facial Shaping and Contouring does require an understanding and ability of the MD doing the injections to follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive face.

Radiesse and Sculptra injections

Actually, the two are an ideal couple. Radiesse giving you some instant gratification and Sculptra the all over volume. Remember to be patient with the Sculptra injections. It takes several treatments and several months to see results. Best to you.

Radiesse versus Sculptra

Yes, it is okay to have Sculptra one month after Radiesse. Both are good fillers, but each has different uses. Radiesse is great for defining the cheeks by laying the product against the cheek bones (kind of like an injectable implant). Sculptra is great for generalized volume enhancement. Radiesse has immediate results, while Sculptra takes some time to grow and usually requires several treatments. However, once you achieve your goal with Sculptra, the results... more

Sculptra and Radiesse combination for the face.

The two substances can be used to increase volume to the face. They can be layered, and are often used this way. Each has its advantages and (slight) drawbacks. Best to speak at length with your injector as to what might work best for you.

Filler Treatments with Sculptra Injections...

It is completely acceptable to get treated now with Sculptra. In my office my PA's typically combine filler treatments with Sculptra. Patients get the best of both worlds then.... instant gratification and long term volumization! Hope this helps. Dr. Grant Stevens

Sculptra 1 month after Radiesse

Like many others who replied, I use both of these products for my patients. I like Radiesse injected deeply OR to treat specific lines such as the naso-labial folds, and I like Sculptra for overall volume restoration. I see no reason why you can't proceed with Sculptra 1 month after receiving Radiesse.

Can I Get Scupltra 1 Month After Radiesse To Add Volume To Face?

Yes. However, I prefer to inject the Sculptra close to the skin and Radiesse near the bone so they are not mixed in the tissues. Other fillers are immediate and Sculptra takes a few weeks to start volumizing. However, some areas are best injected with Sculptra such as the broad cheek areas in front of the ears, and Sculptra is the longest acting of the fillers with the exception of Artefill.

Sculptra 1 Month after Radiesse

There is nothing wrong with injecting Sculptra 1 month after Radiesse. The improvement following Sculptra placement will take longer and may require more than 1 injection.
