Timing of Hep B vaccination and Sculptra, does it matter if I do the Sculptra first?

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Generally, there is no strict waiting period required between receiving a hepatitis B vaccination and getting Sculptra treatments. Both procedures can typically be done in close proximity, but it’s often recommended to receive the vaccination first. This approach allows your immune system to respond to the vaccine without interference from the Sculptra injection. Additionally, if you experience any mild side effects from the vaccination, such as swelling or tenderness at the injection site, you can better distinguish those from any effects of the Sculptra treatment. I hope this helps and best of luck!
