Post-Sculptra Instructions:

DO massage the treated areas five times a day for about 5 minutes for five days after treatment. Then twice daily, for two minutes, for two weeks.
Feel free to wear makeup the following day.
Treated areas may be red, swollen, and bruised for the first 2-7 days.
Do NOT get a facial or massage for two weeks after your procedure.
Tylenol or ibuprofen may be taken for pain.
Avoid strenuous workouts and alcohol for 48 hours. Light exercise is ok the following day
If bruising occurs, continue Arnica supplements, do apply topical Arnica gel, drink fresh
pineapple juice, and/or take Bromelain supplements to help bruising resolve faster.
Bruising can be covered with makeup.
A few days after treatment, you will look as you did before treatment. This is normal, as the volume achieved immediately following treatment was secondary to water which will be absorbed by your body, leaving the sculptra in place to build your own collagen.
To reduce bruise longevity, consider taking ARNICA MONTANA 30C: Dissolve 3 pellets under tongue 3 times a day starting 4 days prior to appointment. You may continue until the bruising and swelling has subsided (usually 7-14 days). Do not brush your teeth, eat, or drink anything but water 15 minutes before or 15 minutes after taking Arnica Montana. Avoid touching the pellets with your fingers by using the bottle cap to place the pellets under your tongue. It is important to place pellets under the tongue and let dissolve naturally.
