Most fillers can be dissolved or wear off naturally over time. Discuss reversibility with your San Jose provider during the consultation. The best way to avoid disappointment is to start conservatively and add more rather than over-correcting.

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.

There's some immediate swelling that mimics volume — this resolves within 24–48 hours. Real results from collagen growth begin appearing at 6–8 weeks and peak around 3–4 months. Patience is the trade-off for the longer-lasting natural look.

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.

Sculptra has FDA approval since 2009 (cosmetic use) and has a strong long-term safety record. Most common side effects are temporary swelling and bruising. Rare nodules under the skin can occur, more often when massage instructions aren't followed — your provider will give clear aftercare guidance.

People with active skin infections, certain autoimmune conditions, or a history of keloid scarring should avoid it. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are typically advised to wait. A consultation will identify any contraindications.
