What is the recommended aftercare routine following Sculptra injections (like the 5-5-5 rule)?

< 1 min read

Proper aftercare is crucial for achieving the best possible results from your Sculptra treatment. Here’s what you need to know:

  • The 5-5-5 Rule: This is the most important part of your post-Sculptra routine:
    • Massage: Gently massage each treated area.
    • 5 Minutes: Perform the massage for 5 minutes.
    • 5 Times Daily: Repeat the massage 5 times per day for the next 5 days following your treatment.
  • Why Massage Matters: This massage helps distribute the Sculptra evenly beneath your skin, minimizing the risk of bumps or nodules and promoting optimal collagen stimulation.

Other Aftercare Tips

  • Ice: Applying ice packs gently to treated areas can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
  • Sun Protection: Be diligent about wearing sunscreen, as your skin may be more sensitive.
  • Avoid Strenuous Activity: Wait at least 24 hours before engaging in intense exercise.
  • Follow-up: Attend any recommended follow-up appointments with your provider at House of Aesthetics Huntington Beach.
