What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable treatments that stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production. As collagen levels naturally decline with aging, the skin gradually loses firmness, elasticity, structure, and volume.

Biostimulators help:

• Restore skin support
• Improve skin thickness and elasticity
• Tighten and firm the skin
• Improve facial contours
• Reduce skin laxity
• Stimulate long-term collagen remodeling
• Improve overall skin quality naturally

Results develop gradually and continue improving over time as new collagen forms.

Sculptra® — Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)

What Is Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is a collagen biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), designed to gradually stimulate the body’s natural collagen production.

Rather than acting as a traditional filler, Sculptra® works progressively to restore structural support, improve skin quality, and create natural volumization over time.

Benefits of Sculptra®

• Gradual and natural-looking rejuvenation
• Stimulates collagen production
• Improves skin firmness and elasticity
• Restores facial volume loss
• Improves skin texture
• Softens wrinkles and folds
• Long-lasting results
• Full-face rejuvenation approach
• Improves skin quality over time

When Do We Perform Sculptra®?

Sculptra® is often preferred when:

• There is generalized facial volume loss
• Skin laxity is present
• The face appears hollow or aged
• Long-term collagen stimulation is desired
• Natural progressive rejuvenation is preferred
• Full-face restoration is needed rather than isolated correction

Sculptra® is especially effective for:

• Mid-face volume loss
• Temples
• Jawline
• Cheeks
• Skin laxity
• Facial aging
• Collagen depletion

It is ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural, and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Areas That Can Be Treated with Sculptra®

• Cheeks
• Temples
• Jawline
• Chin
• Lower face
• Neck
• Décolleté
• Buttocks (collagen stimulation and skin quality improvement)

How Long Does Sculptra® Last?

Results develop gradually over several weeks and months as collagen production increases.

Typical longevity:

• Up to approximately 2 years or longer depending on individual factors

Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

Radiesse® — Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA)

What Is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is a collagen-stimulating injectable composed of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.

Radiesse® provides:

• Immediate structural support and lifting
• Collagen stimulation over time
• Skin tightening and rejuvenation

It combines instant improvement with long-term regenerative benefits.

Benefits of Radiesse®

• Immediate volumizing effect
• Collagen stimulation
• Skin tightening
• Improved facial contouring
• Improved skin firmness
• Long-lasting rejuvenation
• Natural-looking enhancement
• Structural support

When Do We Perform Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is often preferred when:

• Structural support and contouring are needed
• Moderate volume loss is present
• Jawline definition is desired
• Chin projection enhancement is required
• Skin firmness improvement is needed
• Immediate visible improvement is preferred

Radiesse® is especially effective for:

• Jawline contouring
• Chin enhancement
• Cheek structure
• Lower face support
• Hand rejuvenation

Compared to Sculptra®, Radiesse® typically provides more immediate structure and definition.

Areas That Can Be Treated with Radiesse®

• Jawline
• Chin
• Cheeks
• Lower face
• Hands
• Neck
• Facial contouring areas

Hyperdiluted Radiesse®

What Is Hyperdiluted Radiesse®?

Hyperdiluted Radiesse® is an advanced regenerative technique where Radiesse® is diluted with saline and lidocaine to create a thinner injectable solution focused primarily on collagen stimulation and skin tightening rather than volumization.

This technique transforms Radiesse® into a powerful skin rejuvenation and biostimulation treatment.

Benefits of Hyperdiluted Radiesse®

• Skin tightening
• Improved skin texture
• Collagen stimulation
• Improved elasticity
• Reduction of crepey skin
• Improved skin firmness
• Natural rejuvenation
• Body and facial skin quality improvement

When Do We Perform Hyperdiluted Radiesse®?

Hyperdiluted Radiesse® is often preferred when:

• Skin laxity is present
• Crepey or thin skin needs improvement
• Skin tightening is the main goal
• Minimal volume addition is desired
• Collagen stimulation over large areas is required

It is particularly effective for:

• Neck rejuvenation
• Décolleté
• Arms
• Abdomen
• Knees
• Buttocks
• Jawline
• Lower face skin tightening

This treatment is ideal for improving skin quality and firmness without creating significant volume.

Difference Between Sculptra®, Radiesse®, and Hyperdiluted Radiesse®
