What are Biostimulatory Fillers?
Biostimulatory fillers are made from substances that encourage the skin's natural regenerative processes. The main goal is not just to fill lines or volume loss immediately, but to activate the skin's ability to produce collagen and restore youthful fullness over time. These fillers are different from traditional hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which immediately add volume but don’t trigger a long-term increase in collagen production.​
​
How do they work?
Biostimulatory fillers are injectable treatments that stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual and long-lasting facial volume restoration and skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers that directly add volume, biostimulatory fillers work by encouraging the skin to rebuild its own collagen and elastin over time.

Choosing Between Sculptra and Radiesse Fillers
Both Sculptra and Radiesse offer unique benefits, and the right choice will depend on your individual aesthetic goals, treatment preferences, and the areas of the face being treated.
-
If you’re looking for more gradual, subtle results with long-lasting effects, Sculptra might be the better choice, especially if you want to address overall facial volume loss or more advanced aging.
-
If you need immediate volume restoration and want a filler that provides a lifting effect with quicker results, Radiesse could be a better fit, especially for areas like the jawline or deep wrinkles.​
Sculptra: The Collagen-Boosting Filler
Sculptra is a synthetic injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. Over time, your body uses this collagen to restore volume and improve skin texture, making your skin look fuller, firmer, and more youthful.
Best For:
-
Cheeks and mid-face for overall volume restoration.
-
Temples, jawline, and chin for facial contouring.
-
Nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines.
Benefits of Sculptra:
-
Subtle, natural-looking results.
-
Long-lasting effects (up to 2-3 years).
-
Non-invasive, with minimal downtime.
Radiesse: Immediate Lifting with Long-Term Collagen Benefits
Radiesse is a gel-based injectable made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which provides immediate volume restoration while also stimulating long-term collagen production. Radiesse is unique because it provides instant lifting and smoothing, making it ideal for clients who want fast results while also benefiting from collagen stimulation over time.
Best For:
-
Cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds for lifting and contouring.
-
Pre-jowl area for enhanced definition.
-
Hands to reduce volume loss and wrinkles.
Benefits of Radiesse:

Immediate lifting and volume restoration.
