The collagen-stimulating injectable that turns back the clock — naturally.
Sculptra is the only FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid biostimulator on the market. Instead of filling lines directly the way traditional fillers do, Sculptra triggers your body to produce its own new collagen over months — restoring volume gradually, naturally, and lastingly. At DaVida Medical Aesthetics in San Antonio, we use Sculptra for clients addressing deep volume loss, facial hollowing, and overall facial rejuvenation.
Why people reach for it
Stimulates your skin's fibroblasts to produce new collagen over 8–12 weeks — meaning the volume you gain is your own tissue, not synthetic gel.
Because Sculptra builds slowly, friends and family notice you look refreshed without ever knowing exactly what changed.
Far longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers — most clients enjoy results for 18–24 months before considering a touch-up.
Treats the underlying volume loss that drives sagging, hollowing, and the deeper wrinkles topical creams and standard fillers can't reach.
Who it's for
Sculptra is the right choice for clients addressing:
Why it works
A biocompatible, biodegradable polymer used in medicine for decades — same family as the dissolvable sutures used in surgery. PLLA is what triggers your body's collagen response.
Once injected, the PLLA microparticles signal your fibroblasts to produce new Type I collagen — the structural protein that keeps young skin firm and full.
Sculptra has been used safely in aesthetic medicine for two decades, with extensive long-term clinical data supporting both its safety and durability.
We dose Sculptra at roughly one vial per decade — so most clients in their 40s receive 4 vials over a series, those in their 50s receive 5 vials, and so on.

Common questions
How much does Sculptra cost in San Antonio?
At DaVida, Sculptra is priced at $750 per vial, with package savings: 2 vials for $1,300 (save $200) or 4 vials for $2,250 (save $750). We dose at roughly one vial per decade of life — so a 40-year-old typically receives 4 vials, a 50-year-old receives 5. We confirm exact dosing during your consultation.
How is Sculptra different from filler?
Filler adds volume directly — you see the result the moment it's injected. Sculptra works on a different mechanism: it triggers your own body to produce new collagen over months. The result builds gradually, looks more natural, and lasts up to twice as long. Filler is best for instant correction; Sculptra is best for long-term, whole-face restoration of lost volume.
How many vials of Sculptra do I need?
We dose at one vial per decade of life as a starting framework — 3 vials in your 30s, 4 in your 40s, 5 in your 50s, etc. Some clients want more dramatic restoration and add additional vials; some want a subtler refresh and start with fewer. Most full Sculptra series are completed across 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
When will I see Sculptra results?
Sculptra builds gradually. The first 4 weeks, you'll see post-treatment swelling that mimics the final result — but that swelling resolves and you may temporarily look the same as before. Real collagen production begins around weeks 5–8, with full visible results at 3–6 months. Patience is the trade-off for the natural, lasting result.
How long does Sculptra last?
Most clients enjoy Sculptra results for 18–24 months. Because the volume you gain is your own collagen, the results don't fade abruptly — they slowly soften over time. Many clients schedule a single maintenance vial each year to keep the result steady.
Does Sculptra hurt?
Sculptra is mixed with lidocaine for built-in numbing, and we apply additional topical numbing cream before treatment. Most clients describe it as a series of pinches with mild pressure during product distribution. The post-treatment massage feels firm but not painful.
"Sculptra is the treatment we recommend when a client is ready to invest in long-term, foundational anti-aging. Filler is great for instant gratification — but Sculptra is what restores the underlying structure and gives you results that look like you, just better, for years."
