These innovative injectables trigger your body’s own collagen production, gradually restoring firmness and elasticity for authentically youthful results that last longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a biostimulator?
A biostimulator is an injectable treatment that triggers your body’s own collagen production, gradually restoring volume and improving skin texture for a lifted, youthful appearance. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, biostimulators work with your body’s natural processes for longer-lasting results.
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 enhancing the lips and cheeks. Biostimulators like Sculptra® and Radiesse® encourage collagen growth for gradual, long-lasting improvements, best for deeper volume loss and overall skin enhancement.
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates deep collagen growth. Used for facial volume loss, skin laxity, and wrinkles, results appear gradually over three to six months and last up to two years.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that provide immediate lifting while stimulating ongoing collagen production. Commonly used for deeper folds, jawline contouring, and hands, results last 12 to 18 months.
What is Ariessence® PDGF?
Ariessence® PDGF combines platelet-derived growth factors with a collagen matrix. It restores volume while aiding tissue repair and skin improvement for regenerative, natural-looking results.
How long does it take to see results?
Sculptra® shows gradual improvements within four to six weeks, with full results in three to six months. Radiesse® delivers immediate fullness with ongoing stimulation for two to three months. Ariessence® PDGF provides progressive results over one to three months.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments depends on the product and your goals. Most patients need sessions four to eight weeks apart. Average: Sculptra® requires two to three sessions, Radiesse® one to two sessions, and Ariessence® PDGF one to two sessions. Your provider will customize a plan during the consultation.
How long do the results last?
Sculptra® results last up to two years, Radiesse® typically 12 to 18 months, and Ariessence® PDGF around 12 to 18 months with added skin benefits. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 12 to 24 months.
What areas can be treated with biostimulators?
Common areas include cheeks and midface, jawline and chin, temples, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and hands. Off-label use may include improvements in neck quality and firmness.
What are the side effects?
Side effects are mild and temporary: swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising. Small lumps may occasionally form but usually resolve with massage or time. Serious side effects are rare when handled by skilled professionals.
