NOUVAderm is $950 per session, and the figure is the short part. What takes the consultation is deciding which areas to resurface, how deep to go on your skin at a first visit, and how many sessions that adds up to. Complimentary consultation, no deposit.

July 8, 2026 · 4 min read
Sculptra is priced by the vial, $850 a vial, and planned across a series of visits. What shows up later is collagen your own skin builds, so the total follows how far it has thinned and how the vials are spaced. The count is worked out with you at a complimentary consultation. No deposit.
