Body Sculptra in Seoul: Procedure, Results & Cost
Poly-L-lactic acid injections that build collagen gradually for hip dips, buttocks and crepey skin on the body.
Body Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injections to stimulate collagen, gradually adding volume and firmness to areas such as hip dips, buttocks, thighs, arms and abdomen. A session takes 30–60 minutes with minimal downtime (mild swelling or bruising), and improvement builds over 6–12 weeks; results can last up to about 2 years. Typical Seoul pricing is ₩400,000–₩600,000 per vial, with hip-dip or buttock sessions often using 6–10 vials over 2–3 sessions.
Overview
Body Sculptra injections are a rising trend in Seoul, Korea for patients seeking non-surgical body contouring and skin rejuvenation. Unlike fillers that offer immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production, resulting in smoother skin, fuller curves, and firmer tissue over time. It's especially popular for hip dips, buttock enhancement, and crepey skin on areas like the arms and abdomen.
What Is Body Sculptra?
Sculptra is an injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible substance that encourages collagen regeneration. Originally FDA-approved for facial volume loss, Sculptra is now used off-label for body volumization and skin tightening.
Popular treatment areas include:
- Hip dips (smoothing the sides of the buttocks)
- Buttocks (non-surgical butt lift)
- Thighs and inner knees (firming loose skin)
- Upper arms and underarms (crepey skin improvement)
- Abdomen (post-pregnancy or aging skin laxity)
- Décolleté and chest lines
