Before your Sculptra treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and strenuous exercise 24-48 hours prior to your session. After the treatment, massage the treated areas gently for five minutes, several times a day, to ensure the product is evenly distributed. Expect some mild swelling, redness, or bruising that will subside within a few days, and avoid sun exposure and strenuous activity for 24-48 hours post-procedure.
