Sculptra 1 Vial
One vial of poly-L-lactic acid placed where collagen has thinned. Most plans begin here.
Sculptra treatments at our Miami practice are administered by certified nurse practitioners under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist. Because Sculptra works gradually, your first visit focuses on where your face has lost structural support and how many sessions that correction will require. We build a staged plan around that assessment, so volume returns at a pace that reads as time reversing rather than a treatment taking effect.


Sculptra is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid that prompts your body to rebuild its own collagen rather than filling a space directly. In the weeks following each session, treated tissue produces new collagen that restores firmness across the cheeks, temples, and lower face. Results build over roughly three months, and once a full series is complete they can last up to two years.

One vial of poly-L-lactic acid placed where collagen has thinned. Most plans begin here.

The most common starting course. Two vials placed across separate sessions so collagen responds between visits.

For more advanced collagen loss. The per-vial cost comes down as the plan grows.

A facial assessment with your nurse practitioner to map collagen loss and set your vial count.
Your nurse practitioner maps where collagen has thinned and sets the number of vials and sessions your correction will take.
The biostimulator is placed in the deeper layers where facial support has been lost, then massaged evenly through the treated area.
Collagen production continues for weeks between sessions. We reassess at each visit and adjust the remaining plan to how your skin is responding.

A single vial is $800. Two vials are $1,500 instead of $1,600, and three vials are $2,200 instead of $2,400, so the cost per vial comes down as your plan grows. A consultation is $50.
Because most courses run two to three vials, a complete Sculptra series here usually falls between $1,500 and $2,200. Your nurse practitioner confirms the vial count at your assessment, so the full cost is set before anything is booked.

No. Hyaluronic acid filler occupies space the moment it is injected, so you see the full result that day. Sculptra does not fill anything. It places poly-L-lactic acid in the deeper tissue, where it acts as a scaffold that signals your body to lay down new collagen.
That difference is why Sculptra is described as a biostimulator rather than a filler, and why the result arrives over months instead of minutes. It also means the volume you gain is your own tissue, not a gel.

It depends on how much collagen has been lost. A general guide used across the field is one vial for every decade of age, though your nurse practitioner sets the actual number after assessing your face.
Most courses run two to three vials, delivered across separate sessions spaced several weeks apart so collagen has time to respond between visits.
+
Any change in the first week is swelling from the injection fluid, not collagen. That settles within a few days and the treated area returns to how it looked before.
New collagen becomes visible from roughly six weeks and continues building through about three months after your final session. Sculptra rewards patience more than any other injectable we offer.
+
Once a full series is complete, results generally hold for up to two years. Because the volume comes from collagen your own body produced, it fades the way natural collagen does, gradually rather than all at once.
Most clients return for a single maintenance vial somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four months.

Yes, and the three address different problems. Sculptra rebuilds deep structural support, filler restores contour where it is needed immediately, and Botox relaxes the muscles that create expression lines.
Your injector will sequence them at your consultation, since Sculptra is usually placed first and assessed before anything is layered on top.
