POST TREATMENT:

Massage:

• Massaging the area treated is imperative for the next 5 days after treatment.

Benefits of Massaging:

• Even distribution: Helps to evenly distribute the Sculptra in the treated areas, promoting a natural look.

• Minimize Nodules: Massaging can help reduce the risk of collagen pearls, ensuring smoother results.

• Enhance Collagen Stimulation: Gentle pressure encourages blood flow and enhances collagen production, leading to improved texture and volume over time.

How to Massage:

• Massage the treated areas 5 times a day in an upward fashion up to your scalp and ears using your favorite serum (we recommend ZO Growth Factor Serum or DEJ Boosting Serum).

• Spend 5 minutes on each massage session.

• Continue this routine for 5 days following your treatment.
