Can I Get Scupltra 1 Month After Radiesse To Add Volume To Face?

Yes, it is okay to have Sculptra one month after Radiesse.  Both are good fillers, but each has different uses.  Radiesse is great for defining the cheeks by laying the product against the cheek bones (kind of like an injectable implant).  Sculptra is great for generalized volume enhancement.  Radiesse has immediate results, while Sculptra takes some time to grow and usually requires several treatments.  However, once you achieve your goal with Sculptra, the results should last over two years.  I hope this is helpful.

 

Good Luck.

The two substances can be used to increase volume to the face.  They can be layered, and are often used this way.  Each has its advantages and (slight) drawbacks.  Best to speak at length with your injector as to what might work best for you.

  Like many others who replied, I use both of these products for my patients.  I like Radiesse injected deeply OR to treat specific lines such as the naso-labial folds, and I like Sculptra for overall volume restoration.  I see no reason why you can't proceed with Sculptra 1 month after receiving Radiesse.

The answer to your question in my practice would be yes. Sometimes I inject scultpra firs then filler a month later or vice versa as long as the provider has explained to you the difference in the products. The biggest difference that I tell patience with dermal fillers vs. Sculptra is that they work differently. Dermal fillers are more immediate and made of hyaluronic acids or synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite  which is better lifting/augmenting/enhancing vs sculptra which takes weeks to see results and typically used for natural all over volume improvement. I typically end up using both at different times depending on the patients needs and desires. It sounds like you have a very good provider and education about these two different products and expectations is key.

I often use more than one filler on the same visit.  Sculptra gradually restores facial volume and the effects last up to two years.  I love Sculptra but sometimes patients needs Restylane or Juvederm added as well during the first visit to give them some immediate facial filling.  That way you have immediate gratification and improvement and gradual improvement over several months as well.  Please find a board certified Dermatologist with a great deal of experience in the art of facial injections.
