Before Your Treatment
3Avoid blood thinnersAvoid aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil (omega-3), and other medications or supplements that thin the blood 7 days before your procedure to limit the risk of bruising. Never stop a prescribed medication (anticoagulant, aspirin for cardiac purposes) without your doctor's approval.
Avoid AlcoholDo not consume alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours before the treatment: alcohol can increase bleeding and bruising.
Arrive with a clean faceCome to your appointment with a clean face, without makeup, cream, or other skincare products, to reduce the risk of infection.
After Your Treatment
10MASSAGE the treated area – 5-5-5 rule (PLLA only)Only after an injection of Sculptra (PLLA): massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This is essential to prevent nodules and ensure an even distribution of the product. This instruction does not apply to other injections: after a filler (hyaluronic acid, Radiesse, etc.), do not massage the area.
Apply iceApply ice packs wrapped in a cloth to the treated area for 10 to 15 minutes several times a day to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Avoid intense sportsAvoid any intense physical activity, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercises for 24 hours to prevent exacerbating swelling and bruising.
