Sculptra Stockholm

The effect of Sculptra lasts on average 18-24 months. Regular treatments can help to maintain the results.

Sculptra is a safe and clinically proven treatment when performed by certified professionals. As with all injectable treatments, some side effects may occur, but they are generally mild and temporary.

Common side effects include:

• Swelling: Mild swelling at the injection site, typically subsiding within a few days.
• Redness: Slight redness may appear immediately after treatment but usually fades quickly.
• Tenderness: Some sensitivity or soreness at the injection site, which resolves shortly.
• Bruising: Minor bruising may occur but is temporary and fades within a few days.

These reactions are part of the body’s natural healing response and are considered normal. If you have any concerns, our team at MyClinic is here to guide and support you throughout the process.

No, one of the key advantages of Sculptra is that it involves little to no downtime. Most clients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.

However, to ensure optimal results, it’s important to follow a few simple aftercare recommendations:

• Avoid vigorous exercise and intense heat (e.g., saunas or hot baths) for 24–48 hours.
• Refrain from massaging the treated area unless specifically instructed by your practitioner.
• Stay well hydrated and follow any personalized guidance given by your specialist.

These small steps help support the skin’s natural healing and collagen-stimulating process.

Sculptra is an ideal choice for those seeking a natural, long-lasting solution to enhance skin texture and restore volume. This treatment is particularly well-suited if you:

• Prefer to stimulate your body’s own collagen production rather than using traditional filler
• Want a gradual and subtle transformation that develops over time
• Have experienced volume loss or skin laxity in areas such as the face, jawline, or décolletage
• Are looking for results that are long-lasting, with effects that can persist for up to two years

Sculptra is not suitable for everyone. You should avoid treatment if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• You have an active infection, rash or irritation at the treatment site.
• You have an allergy to poly-L-lactic acid or any other ingredient in the product.
• You have a disease or condition that affects your ability to heal or form collagen.

To ensure a smooth experience and achieve the best possible results, we recommend the following:

• Avoid blood-thinning medications: Refrain from taking ibuprofen, aspirin, or other blood-thinning agents at least 3 days before treatment. (Always consult your doctor if you are on these medications regularly.)
• Arrive with clean skin: Make sure the treatment area is clean and free from makeup, lotions, or skincare products.
• Avoid alcohol: To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.
• Share your medical history: Please inform us during your consultation if you have allergies, a history of reactions to injectables, or any relevant medical conditions.

To optimize your results and minimize the risk of complications, please follow these aftercare guidelines:

• Massage the area: Use the 5×5 rule — massage the treated area 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. This helps distribute the product evenly and supports optimal collagen stimulation.
• Avoid heat exposure: Stay away from saunas, hot showers, or direct sunlight for the first 24 hours.
• Avoid intense physical activity: Refrain from strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least 24 hours after treatment.
• Use mild skincare: Stick to gentle skincare products and avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or strong acids for a few days.
• Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications: These may increase the risk of bruising and should be avoided in the first 24–48 hours post-treatment.
