I need to get a booster shot for the hepatitis B vaccination. Do I need to wait any amount of time before/after the Hep B vaccination to get a Sculptra treatment in my face? Does it matter if I do the Sculptra or the vaccination first? Would it be better to do one before the other to avoid a longer waiting period? Or maybe there is no correlation between the two? If there is a correlation and one does affect the other, why? Thanks!
