Sculptra Aesthetics comes in a vile as a powder that is mixed with sterile water a few days prior to treatment; this enables it to be injected. Immediately after treatment the areas injected will look fuller but that is just from the sterile water and Lidocaine that was mixed with the Sculptra. The body will naturally absorb that extra fluid within 48 hours, leaving only the Sculptra particles in the treated area. Initially, your body will look just like it did before the treatment but then the medical magic will start to happen gradually over the next few months as the Sculptra causes the body to produce collagen as a reaction to it.
