Before Your Treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners
Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E for 5-7 days before treatment to minimize bruising.

Limit Alcohol and Smoking
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24-48 hours before your appointment to optimize healing and results.

Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session to support collagen production and skin hydration.

Discuss Medical History
Inform your provider of any allergies, skin conditions, or medications to ensure the treatment is right for you.

Plan for Mild Swelling or Bruising
Schedule your treatment at least a week before important events, as minor swelling or bruising may occur.

During Your Treatment

Consultation and Customization
Your provider will assess your facial structure and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan.

Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort.

Sculptra® Injections
Using a fine needle, Sculptra® is injected into the targeted areas, where it begins stimulating collagen production.

Massage for Even Distribution
After the injections, your provider will gently massage the area to ensure even product distribution and optimal absorption.

Quick and Minimally Invasive
The procedure takes about 30-45 minutes, with little to no downtime.

After Your Treatment

Massage the Area
Follow the 5-5-5 rule: Massage the treated area 5 times a day, for 5 minutes, for 5 days to ensure even collagen stimulation.

Avoid Heat and Strenuous Exercise
Refrain from hot tubs, saunas, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours to reduce swelling and bruising.

Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to support collagen production and healing.

Use Ice Packs if Needed
If you experience mild swelling or discomfort, apply a cold compress for 10-15 minutes at a time.

Avoid Blood Thinners
Continue to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for 48 hours post-treatment to minimize bruising.

Expected Results

Gradual Enhancement
Initial improvements may be noticeable within a few weeks, but full results develop over 3-4 months as collagen production increases.

Natural-Looking Volume
Skin will appear firmer, smoother, and more lifted over time, with restored facial contours and improved texture.

Results can last up to 2 years, making Sculptra® one of the longest-lasting injectables available.

Second Session (Week 8): 2 vials

Third Session (Week 16, if needed): 1-2 vials, depending on age and severity of volume loss

How long does Sculptra® last?

Results from Sculptra® can last up to 2 years, as it helps your skin rebuild its natural collagen. Maintenance treatments can extend and enhance results over time.

When will I see results from Sculptra®?

Sculptra® results appear gradually, with noticeable improvements in 3-4 months as collagen production increases. Multiple sessions ensure the best long-term outcomes.

Is there downtime after Sculptra®?

Sculptra® requires minimal downtime. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Patients can return to their normal routine immediately with proper aftercare.
