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.
