Sculptra® – Post Care Instructions

DO massage the treated areas five times a day for about 5 minutes for five days after treatment. Then twice daily for two weeks.
DO hold ice packs on the treated areas gently for about 10 minutes on, then 10 minutes off a few times on the same day of treatment to help reduce swelling.
Feel free to wear makeup the following day.
Treated areas may be red, swollen, and bruised for the first 2-7 days.
Avoid strenuous workouts and alcohol for 24-48 hours.
If bruising occurs, you may continue Arnica supplements, drink fresh pineapple juice, and/or take Bromelain supplements to help bruising resolve faster.
Bruising can be covered with makeup the following day after treatment.
A few days after treatment, you will look as you did before treatment. This is normal, as the volume achieved immediately following treatment will be absorbed and used to build your own collagen.

Swelling and bruising is a normal occurrence.
No cardiovascular exercise until the initial swelling has subsided.
Avoid stationary pressure to the area that is longer than two hours. Change positions frequently.
Report any abnormal pain, bruising, or discoloration.

Follow up treatments should be scheduled about every 4-6 weeks.
Visible results may not be seen until 3 to 5 treatments have been completed.
Results may vary and may take up to 6 months after the last treatment to see the best results.
The results can last more than two years.
