Massaging of the treated area can be done anytime after a Sculptra treatment. I normally massage the treated areas immediately after injecting my patients and usually do not have them massage unless they want to. Each physician will have their own preference for post treatment care for Sculptra. A common protocol is to massage 3 minutes, 3 times a day for 3 days. Some physicians prefer patients to massage 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days.
To be perfectly honest, you don’t have to do any kind of massages after an injection with sculptra filler.

Bumps can occur with Sculptra regardless of combining with threads. That's why it's important to pick your provider carefully. When done well, Sculptra gives a very nice, soft augmentation without bumps, but is temporary. With regards to threads, any result gotten will not last past 3 to 4...
Hi Heather, There are some things that can be done to help to balance your face and return your feminine features. It is important to have an in person evaluation to determine your best course. I agree that 5FU injections are not indicated at this point. You are now 5 months post injection,...
I personally gave up using Sculptra many years ago when the more robust HA volumzing fillers received their FDA approval. Sculptra is expensive, typically requires about three treatment sessions to achieve a desired result and there is no enzyme to dissolve it should the need arise. It's one...
You had some facial paralysis after a sculptra injection. Did this last hours or days or longer? IT may have been due to anesthetic mixed into the sculptra.
