Direct Answer

How much does Sculptra cost in Gangnam?

Sculptra is ₩1,000,000 (≈ $715) per vial at Dear Clinic in Cheongdam, published identically for residents and for international patients. A vial is a dose and not a plan, so the figure that decides anything is the vial count, and that comes out of your EVE 3D reading.

A per-vial rate is the easiest number in aesthetics to advertise and the easiest to misunderstand. Poly-L-lactic acid from Galderma is supplied dry, reconstituted before the session and placed in stages, so anyone comparing one vial against one syringe of gel filler is comparing a dose to a finished treatment.

The sections below set out what one vial buys, how the vial count is arrived at, and what the months between vials are actually being paid for.

Published rate as of September 2026, applying to residents and to international patients alike — there is no foreigner surcharge. KRW is what you pay and the USD figure is a reference conversion. Because a PLLA plan is staged, the total for the whole course is written out at consultation so the commitment is visible before the first vial is opened.

Vial Logic

Why the vial count decides your Sculptra cost, and the rate does not

Three things move the number of vials on a plan. None of them is negotiable at the desk, because all three are read off the scan.

01

How wide the mapped zone is

PLLA is placed across areas, so a plan covering temples, mid-face and the pre-jowl region needs more material than one addressing a single hollow. The map is drawn before the arithmetic starts.

02

How much support has gone

Depth of loss is measured on the capture, not estimated from a photograph you send in advance. A modest deficit and a marked one can sit on the same face and produce very different vial counts.

03

How your tissue answers the first vial

Staging exists so the response can be judged before more is given. A second vial is a decision taken at review, with the comparison on screen, and it is occasionally decided against.

The arithmetic patients actually want

Multiply the published rate by the vial count on your plan and you have the course total. That is the whole calculation, and the only variable in it is a clinical one. We write the expected count down at consultation so you are weighing a total and never an entry price.

If the total is more than the concern is worth to you, saying so is a reasonable answer and it costs nothing. Nothing is reconstituted until you have agreed, and there is no deposit to forfeit.

What the Months Cost

Paying for a PLLA timeline, not for a result on the day

The awkward truth of this rate is that you pay at the start and judge at the end. Going in aware of that is most of what separates a satisfied patient from a disappointed one.

The first weeks look like nothing

Any fullness in the mirror on the evening of a session belongs to the liquid the product was reconstituted in, and it leaves. Patients who were told that beforehand find it unremarkable; patients who were not tend to phone.

After that the treated zones are quiet for a while, because a collagen stimulator is a request made to your own tissue and tissue works on its own schedule.

Why the review is measured, not remembered

Mirrors are unreliable witnesses over months, so your baseline capture is kept and the review is a comparison of two measurements. Further vials are approved against that comparison and against nothing else.

The published literature on poly-L-lactic acid is where the timeline question is properly settled, and the references at the foot of this page are listed so you can read it without a clinic standing between you and the paper.

What is priced is material and the hands placing it. Depth discipline across a broad plane is where PLLA complications come from, and it is the reason your directors perform every session themselves.
What is not priced is speed. No vial count and no rate makes collagen arrive faster, and any clinic promising a transformation from one session has skipped the explanation.
What is not reversible is the result. There is no enzyme for collagen you have grown, which is why conservative staged dosing is worth more here than a discount would be.
Reading Results

Judging Sculptra photographs before you judge the rate

We publish no before-and-after set for this treatment, because a fair one is harder to produce than most galleries admit.

Check the interval. A PLLA comparison shot weeks apart shows swelling and diluent, not restored support. Anything worth looking at is captured months apart and says so.
Check the angle. Temples and mid-face read completely differently at three-quarter view than head-on, and volume claims live or die on that difference.
Check the lighting. Shadow does more for a hollow cheek than any injectable, which is why our reviews use the same capture rig at every visit instead of a phone at the window.
Check whose vials they were. A gallery that does not say how many vials produced the change is showing you an outcome without its price.

Your own comparison is taken on the EVE Muse system at each review and belongs to your file. Outcomes vary with age, tissue quality and general health, and no image of another face predicts yours.

Dear, Knowhow

What a Sculptra course total buys beyond the vials

01 — THE FULL ARSENAL

The costliest row, with no quota attached

This is the highest-priced row on our published booster list, level with the other stimulator sold by the vial, and it sits beside stimulators and fillers that cost a fraction of it. Nothing needs shifting, so nobody here has a reason to talk you into the dearer answer.

02 — DIAGNOSIS FIRST

Deflation and descent, separated before a vial is quoted

Lost volume and loosened skin look alike in a mirror and answer to completely different treatments. The EVE Muse 3D capture with five light sources and AI analysis tells them apart on screen while you watch. Where the reading says descent, we decline the course and send you to a lifting protocol instead.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

The same hands across every vial

A staged plan carried by one director means the second vial is placed by the person who remembers exactly how the first was distributed. Nodules, lumps and uneven results are plane and technique problems before they are product problems.

Past the vial rate, into the treatment itself

Placement, the massage protocol, who the material suits and who it does not are covered on the full treatment page for Sculptra at Dear Clinic. To see where PLLA sits among the injectables that get compared to it, read the category page for skin boosters and collagen stimulators.

The comparison patients ask about most is set out in Sculptra against Juvelook. The other vial-dosed stimulator on our list has its own page, Radiesse, and every rate at the clinic is on the published price list.

FAQ

Sculptra pricing, question by question

How much is Sculptra per vial in Seoul?
At Dear Clinic in Cheongdam the published rate is ₩1,000,000 (≈ $715) for one vial, the same rate for residents and for international patients. Since the product is dosed by the vial across a staged plan, the figure that decides your cost is the vial count, and it is written out with the course total before treatment.
How many vials will my face need?
There is no standard number, and any clinic quoting one before seeing your capture is guessing. The count follows how wide the mapped zone is and how much underlying support has gone, both measured on the EVE 3D reading. You receive the expected count and the resulting total in writing at consultation.
What will the whole Sculptra course cost me?
The published rate multiplied by the vial count on your plan. Because the count is clinical, the total is written for you instead of listed here, and it is given before the first vial is reconstituted. Each vial is paid for as it is used, so you are never holding a prepaid balance.
Why is Sculptra more expensive than the other boosters on your list?
It is a different class of purchase. The vial is dry poly-L-lactic acid that has to be reconstituted and placed deep across broad zones, and the plan is staged with a measured review between doses. Comparing that figure to a per-cc booster rate compares a course component to a single session.
Is Sculptra cheaper than filler in the long run?
That depends entirely on the problem being solved, and it is the wrong way round. PLLA rebuilds support across a zone; a hyaluronic acid filler places shape at a point. If your finding calls for a filler, a Sculptra course is expensive for a job it was never the right tool for, whatever the arithmetic over five years suggests.
Is the price the same for international patients?
Yes. One published rate applies to everyone and there is no foreigner surcharge. Consultation is conducted in English. Send your travel dates with the form and the written course figure comes back as soon as possible.
Do you offer a discount for buying several vials at once?
No, and the reason is clinical. Vials are staged so that the response to one can be judged before the next is given, which means a bulk purchase would be paying in advance for a decision nobody has made yet. Each vial is charged at the published rate when it is used.
What does the vial rate cover, and what is quoted separately?
The rate covers one vial of poly-L-lactic acid, reconstituted and placed. What the rest of the visit involves — the EVE Muse 3D capture, the consultation, comfort measures, the massage instruction and the review before each further vial — is set out with its cost, if any, in the written quote you approve first. If the reading shows the problem is laxity, we decline the course and say so at that point.
What risks am I accepting at this price?
Injection points, swelling from the fluid the product is delivered in, and bruising after deep placement are the common ones. Nodules and uneven distribution are the ones that matter, and they are managed by plane discipline, conservative dosing and the massage protocol you are shown. Anything persistent is reviewed at the clinic.
Can I start Sculptra on the day I ask for the quote?
Often yes. The capture and consultation take around half an hour and the first vial can follow once your director confirms suitability. Nothing is reconstituted until you have approved the vial count and the total, and taking the plan home is a normal decision rather than a lost booking.
I am only in Seoul once. Is a single vial worth paying for?
Sometimes, and sometimes plainly not. A staged plan assumes you can return for review, so a single trip may buy you the first step of something you cannot finish. Tell us how often you expect to be in Korea and you will get a straight answer, including the answer that a different treatment fits your calendar better.
Do you price Sculptra by the treatment area instead of the vial?
No. The rate is per vial, which is how the product is supplied and dosed, and area pricing would hide the variable that actually drives your cost. Quoting by zone lets a clinic use less material than the zone needed, and the vial is the unit worth arguing about.

Scientific Evidence

The poly-L-lactic acid papers a vial rate should be read beside

Five references are listed below. Two are early clinical descriptions of volumetric correction with injectable poly-L-lactic acid, one compares the poly-L and poly-D,L forms at the early-volume stage, and two recent papers address biostimulatory longevity and volumetric outcomes.

Each carries a DOI from an indexed journal so the primary source can be consulted directly. None of them prices a treatment or describes your face, and the timeline any of them reports is a research finding and not a promise made to you.
