Biostimulators are injectable treatments that don’t just fill…they help your body rebuild. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume by placing gel-like substances under the skin, biostimulators work more gradually by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen, a key protein responsible for skin structure, firmness, and elasticity. They actually help improve the quality of your skin.

Radiesse and hyperdilute Radiesse are administered through a series of injections, depending on the size of the area you want treated. We’ll determine the right dosage during your consultation. After properly sterilizing and numbing the area with local anesthesia for your comfort, we will strategically inject the filler to restore lost volume in the affected area. Each treatment takes only a few minutes. There is generally no downtime after injections, but we recommend no strenuous activity for a couple of days. You may experience some swelling, but this usually dissipates in about 24-36 hours.

There is an immediate plumping effect from Radiesse injections, with full benefits showing up in about two weeks. With hyperdilute Radiesse, you’ll start to notice those lines and wrinkles improve in about four weeks with full results achieved in about four months. Results from both treatments generally last one to two years.

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable synthetic substance that has been used in medical applications for decades. Once injected, Sculptra particles stimulate a mild inflammatory response in the skin, which in turn triggers collagen production over several weeks. The result is gradual volume restoration and skin thickening, which can help smooth wrinkles and improve contour in a subtle, natural way. Because results build over time, Sculptra is often used in a series of treatments for optimal effect.

Sculptra is made with a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid. When strategically injected in the desired treatment area, it’s naturally and gradually absorbed by the body to help rebuild lost collagen. This is achieved through a series of treatments administered by a trained injector.

Sculptra is for those who are in good health 20 years of age and older. So if facial lines and sagging skin are an unwanted part of your life and you’d love the chance to tackle the issue with an effective long-term solution, then Sculptra may be a great choice for you. During your consultation, our staff will explain the treatment in detail and answer any questions you may have.

As lost collagen is gradually replenished, you’ll start to notice those lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin begin to improve over time. This welcome effect will continue over the course of your treatments and beyond. Optimum results occur in a few months and last for up to two years. That’s right – two years!
