Biostimulators
Biostimulators are compounds that are injected into the deep layer of the skin called the dermis. Unlike dermal fillers which simply inject volume, biostimulators work by stimulating new tissue growth, helping the skin to naturally produce its own volume. There is a wide array of different biostimulators, including injectables and non-injectables.
Types of Biostimulators
Radiesse
Radiesse is an injectable filler that contains calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA. These particles integrate into the skin to create a scaffold, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This results in the smoothing of lines and the promotion of a renewed skin structure for natural-looking results.
Radiesse results last about 15 months.

Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable treatment to help gradually replace lost collagen. It is formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to help restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to smooth facial wrinkles. Rather than an “overnight” effect, Sculptra is intended to be performed as a series of 3 sessions are required, 6 weeks apart. Swelling for 2-7 days is common, and then it looks like nothing happened for a while. After 6 weeks you will be able to appreciate a slight difference, right in time for the second session. 6 weeks after the third session is when you’ll really see those results. Results lasting for up to two full years.
After your initial investment of a series of 2-3 treatments, there may be only one visit per year to maintain your new look. This makes Sculptra a very cost-effective treatment.
