Before Your Treatment:
-
Results Timeline: Please note that Sculptra® works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, and results typically take about 3 months to start becoming noticeable. Full benefits are usually observed over a series of sessions.
-
Medications and Supplements: If possible, avoid blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) and supplements (e.g., vitamin E, fish oil, gingko biloba) for approximately 1 week prior to treatment. These can increase the risk of bruising. Always consult with your physician before stopping or modifying any prescribed medications.
-
Alcohol Intake: Minimize or avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before your appointment, as alcohol can also increase the likelihood of bruising and swelling.
-
Skin Condition and Treatments: Avoid aggressive skincare or treatments (chemical peels, laser therapy, waxing, etc.) on the treatment area for at least 1 week prior. This helps ensure your skin is calm and not irritated before the procedure. Arrive with clean skin on the day of your appointment (avoid wearing makeup, lotions, or creams on the treatment area).
-
Health and Medical History: Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores or herpes simplex virus, especially if you plan to treat areas around the mouth, as you may need preventive medication. Disclose any recent medical procedures, vaccinations, or dental work. Let your provider know if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any underlying health issues.
-
Hydration and Diet: Staying well-hydrated in the days leading up to the treatment can help support optimal skin condition. Eat a light meal before your appointment to avoid feeling lightheaded or faint, especially if you feel anxious about injections.
-
Allergies and Previous Reactions: Inform your practitioner about any allergies or adverse reactions you have had with injectables, anesthetics, or skincare products.
-
Scheduling: Plan your treatment at least 2 weeks before any major events to allow bruising or swelling (if any) to subside.
Sculptra® Post Treatment
-
Massage the Treated Area: Follow the “5-5-5” rule unless otherwise directed by your provider: massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. Gentle, circular massage helps distribute the product evenly and supports optimal results.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat: Refrain from excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, saunas, or hot tubs for at least 24–48 hours. If you must be in the sun, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
-
Cold Compress if Needed: Apply a cold compress (not direct ice) to reduce swelling, if recommended by your provider. Use intermittently during the first 24–48 hours.
-
Minimize Strenuous Activities: Avoid vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, or activities that increase blood flow to the face for at least 24 hours. This reduces the risk of swelling and bruising.
-
Avoid Blood-Thinners: Limit alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or similar products (unless prescribed by a doctor) for about 24–48 hours post-treatment, as they can worsen bruising.
-
Skincare and Makeup: You may resume most skincare routines the following day unless otherwise advised. If the treatment area is tender, use gentle, non -irritating products. Clean makeup applicators and brushes thoroughly to avoid infection risks.
-
Monitor for Unusual Reactions: Mild swelling, bruising, or redness is common and should subside within a few days. Contact your provider if you notice lumps, persistent swelling, or any signs of infection.
