The procedure itself lasts around 20–30 minutes and involves the application of the preparation through punctures made with thin needles in the appropriate parts of the face. These punctures are almost painless. If you are afraid of discomfort, the doctor can numb the face before the procedure using a special numbing cream. After the procedure is finished, the doctor massages the face in the places where the preparation was administered in order to distribute it properly
After
the procedure
During the first 24 hours after the procedure, a cold compress or ice wrapped in a clean cloth should be applied to the injection site (do not apply ice directly to the skin) to reduce swelling.
For several days after the
procedure, the injection site should be massaged several times a day according
to the doctor's recommendations. If there are no complications, such as
bleeding, it is possible to apply makeup a few hours after the procedure. Avoid
exposing the skin to the sun or other sources of UV radiation until the
swelling and redness subside. The full result is visible a few weeks after the
procedure. During this time, Sculptra is designed to stimulate collagen
production and regenerate and lift the skin.
