Sculptra After Care Instructions
It is essential to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects.
*Massage the treated areas*: Massaging the treated areas helps distribute the product evenly and prevent the formation of nodules or lumps. Follow the 5x5x5 rule, 5 times a day, for 5 minutes a day, for 5 days.
*Avoid strenuous activity*: Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise or activities that may increase blood flow to the treated areas for the first 24-48 hours after treatment.
*Avoid alcohol and over-the-counter pain medications*: Avoid consuming alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or Tylenol for the first 24-48 hours. With Sculptra we want the body’s natural inflammatory process to work, taking over the counter pain-medications can interfere with this process.
*Use gentle skincare products*: Avoid using harsh or abrasive skincare products on or around the treated areas for the first few days after treatment. Stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers to avoid irritation.
