I won a free session of Sculptra at a plastic surgery seminar. The doctor said he would like to inject along my cheekbones. However its been 8 months since I've had Juvederm (around my mouth, chin, and lower cheeks), and my dermatologist is having a one day sale this week for a full syringe of Restylane for less than half price. Is it ok if I get both of these injections so close together since they wont be in the same area? I've heard that one can cause an infection in the other?
Answer: Yes - you can combine sculptra and hyaluronic acid I often combine sculptra and hyaluronic acid injection in the same session. I like to use the hyaluronic acid filler first, since that result will stay for several months while you are awaiting for your body to respond to the sculptra.You should ask the plastic surgeon about the sculptra session. Sculptra usually works best when it is injected over several treatment sessions. You will want to know in advance if he recommends any additional sessions.

Answer: Sculptra and Juvederm or Restylane
Combination treatments are common. The same day Sculptra, Radiesse, Juvederm or REstylane can be injected in different areas. Sometimes layered in different planes. Infections are very rare but can occur possibly with secondary fillers that disturb biofilm on older fillers or if a currently used filler is placed through unclean skin. To reiterate the risk of infection is low.

Answer: Yes, you can have Sculptra and Restylane injected at the same time. Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have Sculptra and Restylane injected at the same time. Sculptra stimulates collagen growth and is used to replace volume loss in the cheeks, jawline and hollows in the temples. Restylane is used to add fullness to the lips and the corners of the mouth. It is possible to get infection but very unlikely. This can happen whether the treatments are done together or separately. I recommend discussing your concerns with your injector. Best of Luck!

Answer: Sculptra & Restylane Are Good Together
It is perfectly fine to have both products injected at the same time. The Restylane will provide an instant result whereas the Sculptra will take longer for its full effects. If you or your doctor have concerns with injecting at the same time, ask if you can prepay for the Restylane to use at a later date.
