Compare these top treatments to find the best option for restoring volume and achieving a natural, refreshed look.
You work hard, and it’s time to take care of yourself and experience the upgrade your skin’s been waiting for. You’ve earned it! If your reflection is starting to show signs of volume loss or fine lines, you’re not alone, and you’re not out of options.
Sculptra® and Juvéderm® are two of the most in-demand injectables for a reason. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a noticeable lift, knowing which treatment best aligns with your goals can make all the difference. Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand so you can make the best choice for yourself.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra is a non-surgical, FDA-approved treatment that naturally restores volume and symmetry to the face. It’s known for its long-lasting results, so it’s the perfect option for those who want that youthful look without a facelift. Unlike traditional fillers, it adds volume by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production over time. Think of it as the slow-and-steady approach to facial rejuvenation.
Sculptra is Best For:
- Mid-face volume loss
- Sunken cheeks or temples
- Skin laxity and facial thinning
- Clients seeking long-lasting, natural-looking results
Results Timeline: Visible improvement develops gradually over 3–6 months, lasting up to 2 years or longer.
What Is Juvéderm?
Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler, one of today’s most well-known and trusted options. It delivers instant volume and smooths fine lines, giving your features a fresh, hydrated lift.
Juvéderm is Best for:
- Nasolabial folds (“smile lines”)
- Marionette lines
- Lip enhancement
- Under-eye hollows
Results Timeline: Filler results are immediate and typically last up to 6+ months, depending on the formula and treatment area.
Key Differences: Sculptra vs. Juvéderm
| Feature | Sculptra® | Juvéderm® |
| Primary Goal | Stimulate collagen | Immediate volume |
| Onset | Gradual (3–6 months) | Instant |
| Duration | Up to 2+ years | 6–12 months |
| Texture | Builds from within | Adds soft, gel-like volume |
| Best For | Deeper volume loss & collagen boost | Targeted plumping & contouring |
Which One Is Better?
It depends on your personal goals, lifestyle, and how soon you want to see results. If you’re looking for subtle, long-term restoration, Sculptra is your go-to. If you want instant gratification and precision contouring, Juvéderm may be the better fit.
And for many of our clients? A combination of both creates the most natural, balanced result.
