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.

**Be patient**: It can take several weeks to months to see the full results of Sculptra treatment as collagen production is stimulated gradually over time. Be patient and allow your body time to heal and adjust to the treatment.
