- Apply a cold pack to the treated area for a few minutes at a time within the first 24 hours to help speed recovery.
- The Rule of Five: Massage the treated area five minutes at a time, five times a day, for five days following treatment.
- Avoid excessive sunlight or tanning beds until any swelling or redness has resolved.
- It’s important to understand that Sculptra has bio-stimulatory properties. Most patients begin to see results 60-90 days after their final vial from the initial treatment plan.
