I was wondering if it is bad to massage sculptra if there are bruises in the injection areas and pain? What kind of pressure should I give? moderate? Light? It is in my NS folds, is there a technique to massage there? I've been massaging several times a day but not long intervals as it hurts.I tend to just press the ice pack there and move that around to massage it, is that sufficient? Will bruises get bigger massaging too much? Or fade quicker?

Answer: Sculptra Massage Thank you for your question. It is normal to have bruising, sometimes significant bruising after sculptra treatment. There are different theories about sculptra massage and each provider will have a different opinion. I personally believe that massaging is very beneficial in preventing lumps. I like my patients to massage 5x a day for 5 days with firm pressure along the areas injected. Using a good slip (cream, lotion, arnica cream) will make the massage easier and will possibly affect how quickly the bruises resolve. Good luck.

Answer: Bruising with Sculptra bruising after injectables is to be expected. Try taking Arnica to reduce the bruising. Massage is important after the Sculptra injections, you should try your best to gently massage your face 3-5 times a day for afew minutes.
