Recommended Downtime for Sculptra?

I know this sounds like a cop out answer, but it is so true. The amount of product you have injected makes a lot of difference. Some people just bruise more than others. Typically though with make up you should be OK in 2-3 days. You must realize though that the result that you will see with Sculptra take place over weeks to months and may need to be repeated to get full correction sometimes up to 3 times.

Most patients can go back to work the next day after Sculptra injections. While bruising is possible, it is generally mild even when it does occur, and can be covered by makeup. I do not see bruising with Sculptra in the majority of my patients. There is some puffiness and swelling that occurs with Sculptra, but generally this is not severe, and patients are able to return to their normal activities the day after injections. Some patients will choose to avoid work for 2-3 days after any filler injections. 
Always see an expert physician injector.
All the best,

With any injection, there is a risk of bleeding and bruising.  I advice that you discontinue any aspirin, fish oil, prior to the Sculptra injections.  If there is bruising, it may last up to a week or longer. 

Sculptra may cause bruising. Different techniques, different doctors, different sides of the face, different appointments, there can be more brusing some times than others, with the same patient. Brusing can last up to two weeks or even slightly more. Avoid aspirin for two weeks before, Motrin, Advil, Alleve, Fish Oil, Garlic, Ginseng, Ginko and other herbs may increase your bruising, so you should stop those as well. Some people take Arnica montana and or bromelain to decrease the possibility of bruising. Ice packs immediately after may or may not reduce bruising. I hope this helps.

The recommended downtime after Sculptra injections is typically minimal. You may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, but these effects usually resolve within a few days. It’s advisable to follow any post-procedure care instruction provided by your healthcare provider. If you have specific concerns or questions, it’s best to consult with your healthcare professional for recommendations based on your individual circumstances.
