Scuptra cost is slightly greater upfront cost, save thousands in the long run!

After a complete assessment, a determination is made as to how many vials (bottles) and how many treatment sessions will be required. I have patients bring in photos of themselves from each decade which helps illustrate the progression and location of volume loss. Most patients in their 30's and 40's need 1 vial per treatment and require on average 3 treatments, which are spaced 8 weeks apart. Older patients will require two vials per treatment session and sometimes require more more than... more

Sculptra cost

Prior to receiving FDA approval for lipoatrophy (loss of facial fat) due to aging, we charged $1200/bottle. We generally dilute a bottle with 6-7cc of sterile water and add 2cc of local anesthetic prior to dosing, so a bottle can generate almost 9-10cc of product, which can be used to fill cheeks and temples. Since Sculptra was approved in 8/09, the price has been reduced by its manufacturer, Sanofi-Aventis, to promote its launch. We anticipate that the charge will be on the order of... more

Sculptra, Is it worth the cost?

In my practice we charge $1000 per vial of Sculptra which doesn't tell you much unless you know how much you need. It does, however, give you a benchmark to work from. In real practice we use it to add volume to the face in many areas and it is a very helpful alternative. It is a valid procedure that works well for loss of facial volume. If I am planning an operative procedure, like a facelift or fractional CO2 laser I often use micro-structural fat grafting for this same... more

How Much Does Sculptra Cost?

Hi Dj, The cost of Sculptra varies depending upon the skill, experience, artistic ability, and the geographic location of the injecting physician. It may range anywhere from $600 to $1200 per vial. Most practices give a discount when multiple vials are purchased. Please the video reference below for further information. Most importantly, choose your treating physician most carefully. Good luck and be well. Dr. P see video

Sculptra is priced by the vial

Sculptra is an FDA-approved facial "volumizer" that works by stimulating your own collagen production. Unlike fillers that treat discrete lines, Sculptra works to restore the volume of facial areas that have shrunken with age (e.g. cheeks). Sculptra treatments are done every 6 weeks or so until you are happy. Typically, younger people require fewer sessions (3-4 vials) while older folks require more (6-8 vials). From conversations with my colleagues around the country, Sculptra can cost as... more

Cost of Sculptra Aesthetic

Sculptra Aesthetic works much differently than other fillers. It helps your body create and regenerate its own, natural collagen, thereby giving a longer lasting result. Sculptra Aesthetic is proven to last up to 2 years, and can be injected to create global volume, rather than just filling in deep wrinkles. We price Sculptra by the syringe and by the vial - $100 per syringe or $700 per vial (8 syringes). Sculptra needs to be injected every 4 weeks for 12 weeks to get the optimal result. more

The value of Sculptra lies in experienced hands

Sculptra performed by a board-certified physician (either dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or oculoplastics) in the San Diego varies between roughly $700 to $1000 per vial. It requires a series of treatments, but the results are FDA-approved for 2 years, with several clinical studies showing duration of at least 3 years. Thus, from a cost perspective over time, Sculptra may be a more economical choice for facial volume restoration in the long-term. I cannot underscore enough... more

Cost of Sculptra

In my Burlington, Vermont office I do all of the Sculptra injections and charge $650 per vial. However, be careful that cost is not the determining factor for your choice. Sculptra is a deeper "volumizing" filler which, when used properly, can cause dramatic improvement and create a much more natural, youthful look to your face. The success of your treatment is highly dependent upon the skill and experience of your injector. The cost of Sculptra can vary dramatically... more

Investment in Sculptra injection

Sculptra injection typically costs $800 per vial in San Francisco Bay Area. Most people would benefit series of 3 sessions, about 2 vials per session, 6 weeks apart. Once the collagen production/remodeling has finalized, say 6-8 weeks after the 3rd Sculptra injection session, the longevity can last 2 to 2 and 1/2 years. Over the long haul, Sculptra may be a good value given the longevity and postponement of possible surgical facelifts.
