After Sculptra injections patients can experience some bruising, swelling and tenderness for a few days. There is a 5-5-5 rule that we ask all Sculptra patients to do post treatment which is Massage the face for 5 minutes 5 times a Day for 5 Days.
Sculptra benefits are that it is a long-lasting dermal filler and collagen stimulator. Typically, most patients will need 2 treatment sessions spaced out 5-8 weeks and the results will last 25+ months. Many people return to work immediately after the procedure.
