Biostimulators
Rebuild Your Own Collagen with Sculptra & Radiesse
The Process
So here’s exactly what to expect
Injectable treatments that prompt your skin to produce its own collagen and elastin. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which add instant gel volume, biostimulators act as a scaffold that signals your skin to rebuild over weeks and months. We use Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) for gradual, all-over volume and Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) for an immediate lift plus long-term collagen, for natural-looking results that can last two years or more.

Frequently asked questions
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that trigger your body’s own collagen and elastin production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which add instant gel volume, they use microscopic particles that act as a scaffold and signal your skin to build new structural fibers over weeks and months.
Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) gives no immediate volume; it builds collagen gradually, suits diffuse volume loss across the face, is usually given in three sessions four to six weeks apart, and lasts up to two to three years. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) gives an immediate lift from its gel carrier plus long-term collagen, is thicker and more structural, is usually given in one or two sessions, and lasts around 12 to 18 months.
For deep nasolabial folds, Radiesse softens them right away, while Sculptra placed higher in the cheeks and mid-face lifts them gradually. For widespread deflation, hollow temples or thinning skin, Sculptra is usually preferred. For jawline and chin definition, Radiesse’s firm structure mimics bone for a chiseled result. Your provider will recommend one, or a combination, at your consultation.
Very little. Expect mild swelling, tenderness and some bruising for 24 to 48 hours; a blunt-tipped cannula is often used to keep bruising to a minimum. Most people return to normal activities almost immediately.
After Sculptra, follow the 5-5-5 rule: massage the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five days, so the particles spread evenly and don’t form small bumps. After Radiesse, don’t massage or press on the area, so the product stays exactly where it was placed.
Results appear gradually and look natural. Sculptra builds over a few months and can last two to three years; Radiesse gives some lift straight away, with collagen continuing to build, and lasts around 12 to 18 months.
