Will Sculptra or fillers in the temporal call cause hair loss?

Question

I've had both Voluma and sculptra in the temples before, but recently am realizing I may need to be filling behind the hairline in the area above the ears to get the effect I want. Basically I'm after "The Ponytail Lift" nonsurgically. However I'm really afraid that injecting in the hair-bearing area could lead to hairloss. My doctor is a bit of a rogue and even suggests sculptra at the crown to lift my brow. He has been seriously wrong before so I hesistate to take his suggestion.

I frequently treat the temporal area with Sculptra and other fillers and have never seen any hair loss due to the treatment.  The injection is normally done below the level of the hair follicles, so they should not be affected.

Hi there,Thank you for that great question.  Fillers and or Sculptra are injected deeper that the follicle.I have never experienced that reaction from either product.But... as always please see a certified injector.Best of luck.....
