PRE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
If approved by your prescribing provider, avoid all blood thinners one week before having your injections. This may include Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Garlic, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Ginkgo Biloba, and Primrose oil.
Avoid alcohol 1-2 days prior to treatment to lessen the chances of bruising.
Plan procedure 2-3 weeks before important events.
Oral Arnica is optional prior to treatment to help minimize bruising.
If possible, come to your appointment with a clean face, free of make-up.
We will not treat you with Sculptra if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Bruising, swelling, and other side effects are usually mild and often subside within a few days.
Avoid strenuous activity, sauna use, hot tubs, or other high heat activity for 48 hours after treatment.
The 5-5-5 Rule: massage the treated areas 5 minutes at a time, 5 times a day, for 5 days.
Results from Sculptra are typically best seen between 60-90 days after final vial from initial treatment plan. Very normal to have "lackluster" effects during the early stages of your Sculptra treatment plan.
