Biostimulators at Icon Aesthetics
At Icon Aesthetics, we also offer advanced biostimulatory injectables designed to rebuild your skin from within. Unlike traditional fillers that replace volume, biostimulators work by activating your body’s natural collagen production—restoring structure, firmness, and elasticity over time for a more youthful, radiant look that evolves gradually and lasts longer.
We offer three of the most effective and innovative options on the market: Radiesse®, Sculptra®, and Ariessence® Pure PDGF+.
Radiesse® is a calcium-based injectable ideal for lifting and contouring the cheeks, jawline, chin, and even the hands. It delivers immediate structure with long-term collagen benefits, making it perfect for patients seeking natural definition and skin thickening. Sculptra®, made from poly-L-lactic acid, works gradually to rebuild collagen deep within the skin and is especially effective for facial hollowing, temple volume loss, and improving overall skin quality with results that can last up to two years.
For patients seeking cutting-edge skin regeneration, we also offer Ariessence® Pure PDGF+, a pharmaceutical-grade growth factor injectable with up to 300,000x the regenerative potential of traditional PRP. This powerful biostimulant can be used post-microneedling, injected into delicate areas like the under-eyes, or applied to the scalp for hair restoration—stimulating rejuvenation without the need for a blood draw.
Whether you’re looking to subtly lift, smooth, or revitalize aging skin, our biostimulators offer a sophisticated, long-term approach to anti-aging with minimal downtime and beautiful, natural results

FAQs
1. What is a biostimulator? A biostimulator is an injectable treatment that stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production to gradually restore volume, improve skin texture, and provide a lifted, more youthful appearance. Unlike traditional fillers that simply "fill," biostimulators promote your body's own regenerative processes for longer-lasting results.
2. What is the difference between hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse? Hyaluronic acid fillers provide instant volume and can be dissolved if needed- perfect for lips, eyes, cheeks and under-eyes. Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse work by stimulating your body's natural collagen production, giving gradual, long lasting results, ideal for deeper volume loss and overal skin rejuvenation. Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. They are most commonly made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps retain moisture and softness.
3. What is Sculptra? A: Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. It is ideal for treating facial volume loss, wrinkles, and skin laxity, with results that build gradually over 3–6 months and can last up to 2 years.
4. What is Radiesse? Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It provides immediate volume while also stimulating collagen over time. It’s often used for deeper folds, jawline contouring, and hand rejuvenation, with results lasting approximately 12–18 months.
5. What is Ariessence PDGF? Ariessence is a next-generation biostimulator that combines Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) with a collagen-stimulating matrix. It not only rebuilds volume but also supports tissue regeneration and skin rejuvenation. It’s ideal for patients seeking regenerative aesthetic enhancement with natural-looking results.
6. How long does it take to see results? Sculptra: Gradual improvement begins within 4–6 weeks; full results by 3–6 months. Radiesse: Immediate volumization with continued collagen stimulation over 2–3 months. Ariessence PDGF: Progressive improvement over 1–3 months as collagen and tissue health regenerate.
7. How many treatments are needed? Most patients require a series of treatments spaced 4–8 weeks apart. Typical protocol: Sculptra: 2–3 sessions Radiesse: Often 1–2 sessions, depending on goals Ariessence PDGF: 1–2 sessions depending on baseline volume and skin quality Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
8. How long do the results last? Sculptra: Up to 2 years with optimal treatment. Radiesse: Approximately 12–18 months. Ariessence PDGF: 12–18 months, with ongoing regenerative benefits to skin quality. Maintenance sessions every 12–24 months are recommended to preserve results.
9. What areas can be treated with biostimulators? Common areas include: Cheeks and midface Jawline and chin Temples Marionette lines Nasolabial folds Hands Neck (off-label use)
10. What are the side effects? Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including: Swelling Redness Tenderness Bruising Small lumps under the skin (rare, usually resolves with massage or over time) Serious side effects are rare when treatments are performed by trained injectors.
11. Who is a good candidate for biostimulators? Good candidates are patients experiencing volume loss, mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, and those looking for natural, gradual rejuvenation rather than immediate "filled" appearance. A consultation with your provider will determine the best plan based on your goals.
