Sculptra / Lanluma buttlift

Important: Sculptra treatment requires a deposit and must be made 3 days in advance, so always make an appointment.

During the intake interview, the practitioner will assess your buttocks and discuss your needs to suggest a customized treatment plan. You will be shown before and after photos to create realistic expectations. On the day of treatment, the doctor will explain the course of treatment before it begins. Using a cannula, Sculptra is injected into the deeper layers of the skin. Your body will absorb the Sculptra particles over the next few days. During the first week after treatment, massage the treated area as instructed. The results will appear gradually and the shape of your buttocks will continue to improve over the next 2-3 months. If follow-up treatment is needed, the doctor will discuss this with you.

Immediately after the injections, you will see temporary results for the first 24 hours, but this will quickly disappear again. Within two to three months, however, you will see long-lasting results as your body produces new collagen. This also applies to Sculptra buttock augmentation.

• Massage the treated areas 5 times a day for about 5 minutes for 5 days after treatment.
• Hold ice bags gently on the treated areas for about 3-5 minutes a few times that day.
• The treated areas may become red, swollen and blue for the first 2-7 days.
• If possible, avoid strenuous physical activity and alcohol for 24 hours.
• If bruising occurs, continue to take Arnica supplements and apply Arnica gel. Also, drink fresh pineapple juice and/or take Bromelain supplements to speed up the healing process….
• A few days after treatment, you will look as before. This is normal because Sculptra replaces lost collagen over time.

After a Sculptra injection treatment, we recommend that patients massage the treated areas to prevent the formation of small nodules (nodule) in the skin. If the skin is not massaged, there is a chance for small nodules to form.

After your appointment: After your treatment with Sculptra, it is very important that you follow the 5-5-5 rule. That means massaging your buttocks 5 times a day for 5 minutes for 5 days after your injections. Your buttocks may look “full” after treatment because of the amount of fluid injected.

Patients can return to their normal schedule immediately after their treatment with Sculptra. Patients who have undergone buttock augmentation may sit on their treatment area after receiving the injections.

Sculptra results are clearly visible after 8 to 10 weeks. Sculptra stimulates the natural production of collagen, so it may take some time to see full results. After about 2 weeks, however, the collagen begins to develop and the first results can already be noticed. The full effect of the treatment will be visible after several months.

Sculptra stimulates the production of collagen. The body needs about from 8 to 10 weeks to fully initiate this production.

No, it is usually not recommended to sleep on your back for the first few days after a Sculptra buttocks treatment. This is because during this period the material has not yet fully settled and can still move when pressure is applied to it. For this reason, it is recommended that you sleep on your side or stomach for the first few days after treatment and do not apply pressure to the treated areas.

Immediately after treatment with Sculptra, aside from slight swelling and possible bruising, you won’t see much difference in your appearance. For two weeks, however, it will dissolve and begin to stimulate the natural production of collagen. This will gradually lead to a natural improvement of your skin and volume of the treated area.

Although Sculptra is a safe treatment and has few side effects, there are some potential drawbacks that should be considered before you decide to undergo the treatment. Some of these potential drawbacks include:

• Possible side effects: As with any cosmetic treatment, side effects may occur, such as swelling, bruising, redness, itching or sensitivity at the injection site.
• Multiple sessions required: To achieve the best results, multiple treatment sessions may be required depending on your body shape.
• Possible uneven distribution: There is a risk of uneven distribution, causing bumps or lumps.
• Slow results: Although the results of Sculptra are long-lasting, they may become visible slowly and gradually, over several months to a year.
• Not suitable for everyone: Sculptra is not suitable for people with certain medical conditions or people who are allergic to its ingredients.
