AT A GLANCE
Jcell says fine swelling and bruising at the Sculptra injection sites usually ease within 2 to 3 days, and that a gradual change may be felt from about 4 to 6 weeks. Because three sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart are usually recommended, plan return visits to Seoul before starting.
How long might swelling or bruising last for my treatment areas?
After Sculptra, Jcell describes fine swelling and bruising at the injection sites that usually ease within 2 to 3 days. The change Sculptra is intended to bring develops gradually; Jcell says it may be felt from about 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. That means the result is not visible when you leave the clinic, and the plan usually continues with further sessions.
Jcell generally recommends three sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart. If you live overseas, check whether you can return for each session, and ask what happens if you cannot. Keep a record of the product, the date and the areas treated for any later clinician.
Ask for written aftercare instructions, including what to do on the day of treatment and when to seek medical attention. Seek urgent care for unusual pain, changes in vision or skin colour changes near an injection site.
