I have no known allergy to local anaesthetic cream or injections and understand that either or both may be required as part of my treatment.

Sculptra is a collagen stimulator used for facial cosmetics. The Sculptra product itself is not providing the filling action but instead causes a reaction in the skin, which forms new collagen. Depending on the area treated, skin type and injection technique the effect of Sculptra lasts approximately 2 years after the last treatment. Sculptra requires a series of treatments to achieve adequate filling for most skin defects. You should discuss your treatment plan fully with your Healthcare Provider before beginning treatment.

Sculptra is injected under the skin in the area to be treated (usually the face) using several injections per area. These injections are mildly painful. The treated areas will be mildly sore for up to 3 days after treatment. Your skin will be deeply massaged/manipulated by the doctor after treatment. You may resume normal activity immediately.

Your skin may appear "lumpy" and mildly red or swollen for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. This is normal. There may be mild bruising of the skin, especially if treatment is around the eyes, which may last for up to 7 days. If swelling is severe, pain or bruising is increasing, or fever develops, call the clinic where your Sculptra was administered. You will have puffiness (not severe) for up to 10 days after the procedure. This is simply the water used to carry the Sculptra product into your skin, and most of this is reabsorbed within the first week.

The effect of Sculptra is slow and gradual as your skin forms collagen around the product crystals. Your best results are seen about 3 months after your last treatment. Please be patient!

Other possible adverse events:

  • Temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area.
  • Temporary partial facial muscle paralysis (from the lidocaine anesthetic), lasting less than 2 hours.
  • Infection at the injection sites. This would be very rare and treated with routine antibiotics.
  • Small "bumps" rarely (~1%) form deep in the skin in the treated areas, which may or may not become visually apparent. This represents new collagen, which has formed deep in the skin.

Botulinum Toxin (commonly referred to as the brand name ‘Botox’) is a purified bacterial toxin used worldwide for the reduction of facial wrinkles.

The time period before the Botulinum Toxin treatment is effective is 2-14 days. The treatment will last between 3-9 months.

Potential complications and side effects of Botulinum Toxin include:

  • Ptosis (eyebrow and/or eyelid) — especially if treating forehead.
  • Unwanted arching of the eyebrows if treating crows feet/forehead but especially frown lines.
  • Bruising and swelling at site of injection or a black eye.
  • Treatment may not work — everyone is different. Rarely, wrinkles can become worse.
  • Migraine, Temporary double vision, possible temporary numbness.

Dermal Filler is the synthetic form of a natural substance found in human tissues (Hyaluronic Acid ). It can be injected directly beneath the skin to provide cosmetic benefits. It is effective immediately and can last from 6-12 months.

After treatment, you are advised to avoid wearing makeup over the injection sites for 12 hours to reduce the risk of skin infection.

Potential complications and side-effects of filler include:

  • Bruising, bleeding, discomfort, itching for several days.
  • Rarely discolouration of the injection site, necrosis (death of skin), abscess formation, granulomas (abnormal growth of skin), hypersensitivity and haematomas (large bruises) have been reported. Indurations or nodules may develop at the injection site — if any of these symptoms persist for more than 1 week, consult with the doctor/dentist/nurse who has treated you.
  • When using dermal filler to treat frown lines, smile lines (nasolabials / nose-mouth lines) there is a very small risk of skin damage requiring plastic surgery or even irreversible blindness. Feel free to ask your practitioner what precautions they will take to minimise this risk.
