To optimize your Sculptra results and minimize side effects, here are the key activities to avoid:
- Strenuous Exercise: Avoid intense workouts or heavy lifting for the first 24-48 hours. This helps minimize swelling and bruising and allows the Sculptra to settle.
- Excessive Heat: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, or prolonged sun exposure for the first few days, as increased heat can potentially exacerbate swelling.
- Alcohol: It’s best to avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours after your treatment, as it can increase the risk of bruising.
- Blood-Thinning Medications: If possible, and with your doctor’s approval, consider temporarily stopping medications or supplements that thin the blood (like aspirin or ibuprofen) a few days before your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
Your AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills practitioner will provide a complete list of post-treatment instructions, ensuring you know what to avoid for the best results.
