The doctor took his time and went to a lot of trouble to get the placement 'just so' - fanned it out and massaged it with his fingers. Injections were done checkbones and midface and not around my eyes. I asked him about massaging today and he seemed pretty confident that I would be oaky if I didn't. He stated that he uses proper technnique and diution so I shouldn't have to move it around. I just want to make sure I do the right thing. Also, how do you do the massage? Technique?

Answer: Massaging Sculptra Post-Injection Thank you for your question. With the higher dilution techniques that are used today you will probably be fine waiting until tomorrow to massage. I recommend to my patients that they massage the areas that were injected in a circular fashion. Galderma (manufacturer of Sculptra) recommends that patients massage the areas 5 times per day for 5 minutes for 5 days. This is the recommendation that I give to my patients. We have had no complications with our Sculptra injections over the past several years by following these guidelines. If you have any questions or concerns be sure to contact your physician. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Answer: Soreness after sculptra sculptra injections can leave the area slightly sore, and in my experience, the soreness can last up to a week. I believe that massaging actually helps with the soreness, but if you are very tender to the touch, waiting a day to massage dhould be ok with dilute sculptra.
