Sculptra reconstitution time?

The amount of time that Sculptra is reconstituted before a treatment is really up to the discretion of the treating physician. As long as the product is mixed well, I do not believe the reconstitution time makes any difference in the results.

Your consultant was correct that reconstitution of Sculptra does not have to be done ahead of time. Sculptra's latest FDA approval study showed no difference in molecular structure with hydration immediately before or 72 hours before. Additionally, there was not any increase in adverse outcomes as a result.

Hello and thanks for your question! You are absolutely correct that there have been new guidelines regarding the reconstitution of Sculptra Aesthetic. The FDA has now approved Sculptra for injections immediately following reconstitution. What this means is that it is safe and effective to use Sculptra as soon as it has been mixed together. In our clinic, we use these new guidelines when treating our patients. It is important to express any concerns you may have with your provider and ask questions prior to treatment so that you have a safe and comfortable appointment. We always recommend seeing a Registered Nurse in a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon's office for your treatments. Good luck!
