You will experience some bruising, redness and slight swelling after the treatment. This is most visible in the first 3 days. The entire deswelling period lasts 2 weeks. Also, 20 to 30 percent of the initial volume will decrease. You have also received some instructions from the doctor. It is important to follow these carefully, for the best possible result. For example, for the next 5 days after the treatment, you should massage the area for 5 minutes for 5 times a day.
When you come for the first time, it is important that you know that all fillers have a build-up period, including Sculptra. You may have to come back a few times for the desired result. If the desired result has been achieved, this will remain for 2 to 3 years. After that, a touch up is needed. This will probably require less than with the first treatment, but this differs per person and depends on your wishes.
