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
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.
Without seeing you in person, it is difficult to know how much is needed. I recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
It is common to perform different fillers on the same day. Sculptra and Juvederm can be done during the same session. The main concern is to make sure the technique is proper and nothing is overdone. Also the bruising issue is not related to the materail but to patient preparation and injection...
