What to expect
Your Sculptra® appointment
A trained medical professional administers Sculptra in a series of injection sessions. Patients typically require an average of 3 treatments over a few months, but your healthcare practitioner will tailor the sessions to you.
Here are some helpful tips! You can also learn more in our FAQs.
-
Discuss your aesthetics goals with your injector to determine a treatment plan that is right for you. This is your time to get all your questions answered. Arriving early may help you better maximize your appointment time.
-
Your healthcare provider may use a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Please be sure to review our full Important Safety Information. You should not receive treatment if you have an active skin infection or skin inflammation near the planned injection site.
-
Any swelling that may occur after treatments usually subsides within a few days, and the wrinkles will temporarily reappear as the gradual process of collagen replacement continues. You may begin to see progressive, visible results within the first few weeks after each treatment session.

-
A cold pack or ice pack will help reduce any common swelling. Within the first 24 hours of treatment, apply a cloth-wrapped cold pack to the treated area for a few minutes at a time. Never apply ice directly to the skin.
-
Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days after treatment, as recommended by your physician.
-
After treatment, excessive sunlight and ultraviolet lamp exposure should be avoided until any initial swelling and redness go away. Your doctor will provide guidelines on sunscreen protection and how to avoid excessive sunlight.
-
Remember, you won’t see dramatic improvement immediately after treatment. To achieve full results, be sure to keep any follow-up appointments in your treatment series.
