• Do not use facial peels, exfoliants, or retinoids on the treated area for at least one-month post-treatment.
• Do not pick, rub, scratch, or massage the area, as this may irritate the skin.

Following these simple post-treatment guidelines ensures that your Sculptra results are long-lasting and look as natural as possible.
