What is Sculptra and how does it work?
Sculptra is a collagen biostimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid. It does not act as an immediate filler, but stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, reinforcing the skin's structure over time. 3 to 6 months.
For the effect to be homogeneous and without complications, well-guided post-treatment care is essential.
Immediate care after Sculptra application
-
Local massage:
Perform massage on the treated area. 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days (Use the "rule of 5"), as instructed by the medical team. This helps distribute the product and prevent lumps. -
Avoid strenuous exercise:
Avoid high-impact physical activity for 24 to 48 hours to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising. -
Apply a cold compress (if necessary):
If mild swelling occurs, a cold compress can be used on the day of application (always with medical advice). -
Keep your skin clean:
Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours and prioritize gentle cleansing. -
Strict sunscreen:
Sun protection is essential to prevent blemishes and protect recovering skin.
Care in the following days and weeks
-
Avoid excessive heat:
Do not expose the treated area to saunas, very hot baths, or intense sun exposure for the first few days. -
Observe reactions:
Minor swelling and bruising are normal and resolve spontaneously. If anything unusual occurs (such as persistent pain or significant redness), please contact the team. -
Customized maintenance:
Dr. Renata Ralha recommends 1 to 3 applicationsTreatment intervals depend heavily on individual assessment, typically ranging from 30 to 45 days. Follow-up appointments are essential to evaluate progress and determine the need for further sessions.
