Do you get lumps from Sculptra?
Can you get lumps from Sculptra?
Sculptra nodules (granulomas) are small, firm bumps that are rare and usually linked to incorrect injection technique or insufficient aftercare. With the right treatment and care, they are barely noticeable and often resolve on their own.
Main causes
Factor | Description |
|---|---|
Incorrect injection depth | Sculptra must be placed at the correct depth in the dermis. |
Insufficient massage | Massaging the area immediately after treatment – and for 5 minutes daily – helps to distribute the product evenly. |
Individual predisposition | A small number of patients are naturally more prone to developing granulomas. |
