Biostimulator Aftercare Instructions

Thank you for choosing Skin Clique for your biostimulator treatment! To ensure optimal results and minimize side effects, please follow these post-care instructions carefully:

Immediately After Treatment:

  • If you received Sculptra, please massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days (the "5-5-5 rule"). This helps distribute the product evenly and encourages the body’s natural collagen production.
  • Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for the rest of the day to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Apply an ice pack gently and intermittently (5-10 minutes at a time) to reduce swelling or bruising but avoid direct pressure on the skin.

For the Next 24-48 Hours:

Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and excessive heat exposure (e.g., saunas, hot tubs, and sunbathing) to prevent unnecessary swelling or bruising.

Stay hydrated, as water is essential for collagen stimulation and helps promote optimal results.

You may add an additional pillow under your head to minimize swelling.

For the Next Week:

If you received Sculptra, continue massaging the treated areas (following the "5-5-5 rule") as instructed by your provider. This will help ensure even distribution of the biostimulator and support collagen production.

Avoid facials, facial massages, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks after your procedure to prevent interference with the product’s effectiveness.

Avoid sleeping on your face for the first few nights to allow the biostimulator to settle evenly.

Common Reactions:

Mild swelling, bruising, or redness may occur in the treated areas and should resolve within a few days. These are normal side effects and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or cold compresses.

Small lumps or bumps under the skin may appear temporarily, but they typically subside with massage. If you’re concerned about any persistent lumps, contact your provider.

Long-Term Care:

Results from biostimulators develop gradually over several weeks to months as your body produces new collagen. Be patient with the process and follow any additional treatment plans recommended by your provider.

For the best results, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including staying hydrated and protecting your skin from sun damage. Consult with your provider to ensure you are using the right clinical skincare products and ingredients.

If you experience any unusual symptoms, such as severe pain, discoloration, pale color or abnormal bruising that seems to travel, or prolonged swelling, please contact your provider immediately.

Thank you for trusting Skin Clique with your treatment. We look forward to seeing your progress and helping you achieve your aesthetic goals!
