Discuss deeper nasolabial folds when a staged plan and follow-up assessment suit your schedule and expectations.

What the procedure is like

  1. 1Bring records of Olidia, Sculptra and other fillers. Mention nodules, delayed swelling and immune conditions. If you need an immediate finished result for an event, discuss the gradual course before deciding.
  2. 2Olidia and Sculptra share the PLLA material family, but their formulation, presentation and preparation should not be assumed identical.
  3. 3After appropriate comfort measures and cleansing, the doctor treats the agreed areas.
  4. 4Delayed lumps need attention alongside early bruising and swelling. PLLA cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Have a persistent firm lump examined and follow the aftercare given specifically for Olidia.

Appointment length depends on consultation, numbing and treatment extent. Tell us your available time and important plans when booking.

Recovery & aftercare

  • Delayed lumps need attention alongside early bruising and swelling. PLLA cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Have a persistent firm lump examined and follow the aftercare given specifically for Olidia.
  • Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your instructions for washing and makeup.
  • Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.

What to expect over time

A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.

  1. Immediately

    Initial swelling and fullness are not the final result.

  2. Early recovery

    Delayed lumps need attention alongside early bruising and swelling. PLLA cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Have a persistent firm lump examined and follow the aftercare given specifically for Olidia.

  3. Review Olidia

    Olidia relies on a PLLA tissue response. Initial fullness is assessed separately from later changes in nasolabial folds, using photographs and examination over weeks to months. During follow-up we also watch for lumps that appear later.

  4. Next steps

    Fold depth, surrounding tissue and previous PLLA response guide staged treatment. Sharing an ingredient family with Sculptra does not make preparation and intervals identical. We review recovery and remaining concerns first.

Safety & considerations

Possible reactions

  • Injections carry rare but serious risks including vascular injury or blockage and tissue damage.

When to take extra care

  • Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, immune conditions, medicines, previous fillers and threads.
