If possible, avoid any medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for at least a week prior to injection to minimize bruising. Vitamin E, fish oil and other supplements can enhance bruising as well so discontinue these if you can safely do so. Bruising is common with Sculptra so plan to limit social events in the week after injection if you prefer to avoid being seen with bruising. Avoid dental cleaning and exams for 2 weeks before and after all fillers.
