Skip alcohol for 24 hours before and at least 24 hours after: alcohol thins the blood and increases bruising. For larger treatments or if you bruise easily, give it 48 hours afterward.

Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) add immediate volume that lasts 9–18 months. Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid. It stimulates your body to produce its own collagen gradually over 3–6 months. Results build slowly but can last 2+ years. Many providers combine both for different concerns.

Most full-face treatments use 2–4 vials total, spread across 2–3 sessions roughly 4–6 weeks apart. Severe volume loss may need more; subtle refresh may need only 1–2 vials. Your provider will recommend based on your face.

Typically $800–$1,200 per vial in the US. A full treatment series of 3 vials is usually $2,400–$3,600. Pricing depends on your city, provider, and whether they offer package discounts for multiple vials.
