Sculptra doesn't tend to bruise as much as some of the other fillers. However, to avoid bruising I would recommend taking Arnica a few days before your procedure and massaging with an Arnica cream.

Typically MS is not a contraindication for injectables. However, you do need a consultation with a board certified physician in order to determine what is truly best for you case. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for your question. Sculptra can be used to help thinning skin on the arms, but at a different dilution than what we use on the face. You likely don't see much info on this for a few reasons. One, it's an off-label indication. Two, it is an advanced injection technique which many...
