Stimulate the collagen that’s already in your skin. Biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra and Radiesse work by stimulating your body’s own natural fibroblast (cells that create collagen and elastin) production. These injections stimulate the body’s own processes for longer-term smoothing and volumizing.
Biostimulatory injectables promote the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin over a period of several months. They act as tiny scaffolds for these substances, which add volume to treatment areas and help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Biostimulatory injectables are those containing calcium hydroxylapatite or PLLA to stimulate the production of collagen, creating a gradual improvement in volume and even skin quality. Radiesee and Sculptra are two popular name-brands that you may have heard of.
Dr. Julie will consult and work with you to develop the ideal treatment plan. There are different options and the products vary in how they should be used and in what combinations with other injectables.
Immediately upon injection, biostimulatory injectables restore volume to smooth out the signs of aging. As collagen builds, the natural-looking results may last a year or more in many patients.
The most common side effect is swelling and bruising. Less common side effects include infection, nodules, and necrosis (tissue death).
