Sculptra BBL Aftercare guide
Immediate Aftercare
• Sculptra® and Massaging – The Rule of 5s. Massage the treated area for five minutes five times a day for five days after treatment.
• Exercise – Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
• Ice Area – Use a small bag of crushed ice to gently ice the area. No heavy ice bags. Ice for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Continue the icing for 24- 48 hours if possible. NEVER apply ice directly to skin and avoid firm pressure.
• Pineapples and Pineapple Juice – Pineapples have natural anti-inflammatory properties to them that help to minimize swelling after injections. You may apply or take Arnica tablets to help decrease the amount of bruising.
• Tylenol for Pain – It is normal to experience some pain and sensitivity in the area of the injection. Most patients find that Tylenol can help relieve this post-injection pain. Avoid NSAIDs such as Motrin and ibuprofen as these can make swelling and bruising worse.
