How long will my face be swollen and bruised after Sculptra injections?
I do not wear heavy make-up to work and was wondering how much bruising there would be.

If your injector is skilled, there should be very little bruising. Sculptra is not like other injection products as it is injected very deeply, in many cases against the facial bones. For this reason, the vascular layer is bypassed, which means the possibility of bruising should be much less.
Swelling is much more common and you will be swollen for 1-2 days after injection.
