Sculptra

You should wait 24 hours before doing any activity that can increase blood flow to the skin to minimize bruising.

Sculptra is not recommended for clients that have a history of keloid formation, hypertrophic scarring, or previous cancer in the treatment areas.

Bruising can be minimized by avoiding anything that can thin the blood 5 days prior to treatment. These things are NSAIDs, vitamin E, fish oils, and alcoholic beverages. Ice can be applied after the treatment to further shorten the lifespan of the bruise.

You should apply ice to the area and avoid rubbing it. You should also avoid NSAID, vitamin E, fish oil or alcoholic beverages for 5 days after your treatment.

Sculptra treatment is about one hour. Some clients prefer to pick up the topical anesthetic prior to apply at home and reduce the time in the office. This can be arranged when scheduling.

After having filler, you should avoid having a facial, massage or laser procedure for 2 weeks. You may apply your normal skincare and make-up. You should avoid NSAIDs, vitamin E, fish oils, and alcoholic beverages for 4 days to decrease your chance of bruising. We also recommend sleeping on your back and avoiding stomach sleeping.
