Biostimulators

Restore, Revitalize, and Renew from Within

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 advanced skin regeneration, we also offer Ariessence® Pure PDGF+, a pharmaceutical-grade growth factor injectable with up to 300,000 times 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 regeneration 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a biostimulator?

A biostimulator is an injectable treatment designed to trigger your body’s own collagen production, gradually restoring volume, improving skin texture, and giving a lifted, youthful appearance. Unlike traditional fillers that simply “add volume,” biostimulators work with your body’s regenerative processes to achieve results that last longer.

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, making them ideal for lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas. In contrast, biostimulators such as Sculptra® and Radiesse® encourage collagen growth, leading to gradual and long-lasting improvements. These are best for addressing deeper volume loss and overall skin rejuvenation. Dermal fillers, which are injectable gels usually made from hyaluronic acid (HA), help the skin maintain softness and hydration.

What is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a safe and biocompatible material that stimulates collagen growth deep within the skin. It is often used to treat facial volume loss, skin laxity, and wrinkles. Results appear gradually over three to six months and can last for up to two years.

What is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. It provides an immediate lifting effect while continuing to stimulate collagen over time. Commonly used for deeper folds, jawline contouring, and hand rejuvenation, its results typically last between 12 and 18 months.

What is Ariessence® PDGF?

Ariessence® PDGF is an advanced biostimulator that combines platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) with a collagen-supporting matrix. It not only restores lost volume but also aids in tissue repair and skin rejuvenation, making it a strong option for those seeking regenerative and natural-looking results.

How long does it take to see results?

Sculptra® begins to show gradual improvements within four to six weeks, with full results achieved in three to six months. Radiesse® delivers immediate fullness, with ongoing collagen stimulation continuing for two to three months. Ariessence® PDGF provides progressive results over one to three months as collagen levels increase and tissue health improves.

How many treatments are needed?

The number of treatments depends on the product and your individual goals. Most patients undergo a series of sessions scheduled four to eight weeks apart. On average, Sculptra® requires two to three sessions, Radiesse® one to two sessions, and Ariessence® PDGF one to two sessions, depending on baseline skin quality and volume. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

How long do the results last?

Longevity varies by product. Sculptra® results can last up to two years, Radiesse® typically lasts 12 to 18 months, and Ariessence® PDGF lasts around 12 to 18 months with added regenerative skin benefits. To maintain results, maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 12 to 24 months.

What areas can be treated with biostimulators?

Biostimulators are effective for restoring volume and rejuvenating multiple areas of the face and body. Common treatment areas include the cheeks and midface, jawline and chin, temples, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and the hands. Off-label, they may also be used to improve the quality and firmness of the neck.

What are the side effects?

Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising. In some cases, small lumps may form under the skin, though these usually resolve with massage or naturally over time. Serious side effects are uncommon when treatments are performed by skilled professionals.

Who is a good candidate for biostimulators?

Biostimulators are well-suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, or volume loss who want gradual, natural-looking improvements rather than an immediate “filled” appearance. A consultation with your provider will determine if this treatment is the right fit for your goals and overall health.

What Our patients
Say

I cannot say enough about Hiatt from my very first visit, she has been nothing short of amazing. She truly listens to your concerns and offers thoughtful, personalized recommendations without any pressure. I appreciated that she gave me options to consider and explained clearly, making the decision process feel empowering and stress-free.

The clinic offers flexible payment options which made chosen procedure much more accessible. After careful consideration, I decided to move forward with a few cosmetic treatments. Hiatt was incredibly gentle throughout the entire process, always checking to make sure I was comfortable. Her technique is precise and her bedside manner is warm and reassuring.

She follows up after the procedure to see how you are doing. I felt completely supported every step of the way. I am now two weeks post- procedure, and I'm thrilled with my results. I look natural and refreshed, exactly what I had hoped for. I highly recommend her to anyone considering cosmetic treatments.
