How Much Does Sculptra Cost?

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 3 treatment sessions. A single vial is usually all that is needed every two years for a boost to maintain your results.
The cost for one vial is 1100 and if a second vial is needed, it is discounted to 800. On average, patients will spend $3300 to $4900 on their 3 treatments over a 4 to 6 month period. The upfront investment is higher than with other fillers but the results speak for themselves. Most patients are looking for value these days. Over the course of 5 years, you will save thousands of dollars by avoiding repeated injections of other shorter lasting fillers.
A word of caution. Do not base your selection of your Sculptra injector on price alone. Unlike injection errors with shorter lasting products, an error in placement with Sculptra can have negative aesthetic results for a few years due to its long duration of effect. Make sure your physician is among the "core specialists" i.e. a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. In addition, they should have extensive experience with the product. It helps if they are also clinical trainers for Sanofi Aventis, the makers of Sculptra.

Hi dj1260,
We charge $650.00 CAD (Canadian) per bottle. For the complete face we recommend two to four bottles per treatment every 6 weeks, for a total of three treatments. Some patients who may be on a budget or want to proceed more slowly come in for one or two bottles every 6 weeks for up to 6 treatments. Specific area volume or lifting can also be done at a more conservative pace with 2 bottles per session. Non-surgical buttock treatments require up to 6 bottles every 6 weeks for 3 treatments.
Remember, everyone is special and unique. I suggest you see a Sculptra expert who can develop a treatment plan to suit your desired results within a schedule and budget that makes sense for you.
Good luck!

Hello, 
As you may see by the many replies, pricing varies quite a bit.
Our practice is located in Los Angeles and Orange county.  We price per vial at $695.00 and discount 2 vials to $1345 same day.  Most patients that are forty and over will benefit from 2 vials on the first visit and 2 vials on the 2nd treatment spaced 6 weeks out.  On the third treatment (3-4 months from #2 visit), most patients complete their treatment plan with 1 vial.  We also have an excellent Rewards Program from the manufacturer that offers nice discounts with each treatment.
Pricing is important, but the most important factor in finding a practitioner is one that understands your treatment goals and is able to meet those goals.
