I have used Sculptra to fill the nasal labial area of my face as a treatment of lipoatrophy from the long term use of HAART therapy. i have been over the moon from my results and would like to use it i place of Botox for the creases between the eyebrows if it is a viable treatment option. not a fan of the "dead face" results from the paralysing of the muscles.

Answer: Sculptra should NOT be used between Eyebrows
As other plastic surgeons and dermatologists have already mentioned, Sculptra must be avoided in the eyebrow or eye areas. Sculptra is great for its intended use in the cheek and midface areas, especially for lipoatrophy or volume loss with facial aging. However, Sculptra has not been FDA approved in the eyes or eyebrows. Complications may occur. Better alternative are hyaluronic acids, such as Restylane or Juvederm to add volume to furrows, creases, and wrinkles between the eyebrow, in addition to Botox Cosmetic to help relax the muscles in the area. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you.

You should know that over a decade ago, the only "filler" we had at the time, Collagen, was reported to cause dead skin on occasion when injected between the eyebrows. Any filler material you have injected here increases your risk for trouble. It is not a matter of Sculptra vs Restylane or Juvederm.
Botox is the safest choice. Your fear of the "dead face" is exaggerated as long as the Botox is used properly. Stay safe.
