Treatment Options
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is designed to stimulate deep dermal collagen renewal. It works gradually, making it well-suited for facial areas experiencing volume loss, such as the temples, cheeks, jawline, and neck. While some fullness may appear temporarily after injection, this is not the final result it’s the collagen production that builds over time. This slow, natural process leads to a firmer, more youthful appearance over several weeks or months.
Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a biostimulator that also provides an initial scaffold for collagen regeneration. Commonly used for the cheeks, smile lines, and neck wrinkles, it helps restore volume lost to aging while tightening and improving the skin’s texture over time. Like Sculptra®, Radiesse® does not offer instant volume any early plumpness is due to the injected gel carrier and fades as your own collagen takes over.

What to Expect During the Procedure
Consultation
A full consultation allows our team to assess your skin condition, listen to your concerns, and recommend either Sculptra® or Radiesse®, depending on your goals.
Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed before treatment, and a numbing agent may be applied to minimize any discomfort. These sessions typically last under an hour, and no incisions or recovery time are required.
Injection Process
Sculptra® is placed into the deep layers of skin to stimulate collagen in areas such as the mid-to-lower face and neck.
Radiesse® is injected into target areas like the jawline or aging neck, initiating collagen regeneration while offering immediate structure.
Note: Any visible volume immediately after injection is temporary and due to the carrier fluid it will diminish before long-term collagen effects develop.
Aftercare Instructions
Some mild swelling or bruising is normal. Your provider may recommend:
Avoiding sun exposure and high heat Staying upright post-treatment Gentle massage, if advised, to aid product distribution

Frequently Asked Questions
How do Sculptra® and Radiesse® differ?
Both are biostimulators that work by stimulating your body’s own collagen. Sculptra® tends to build more gradually and is excellent for diffuse volume loss, while Radiesse® may show structure sooner in areas needing defined contour, such as the jawline or neck. Neither provides permanent volume instantly your results will appear over time.
Are there side effects?
Minor swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur after treatment. These side effects usually fade within a few days.
When will I see the results?
- Sculptra®: Gradual improvement beginning after several weeks; optimal results after multiple sessions
- Radiesse®:Some structures may be visible initially, but long-term collagen effects build gradually
Can these treatments be combined with others?
Yes, in some cases. However, combining treatments depends on the areas and timing involved. For instance, neurotoxins and dermal fillers may be performed during the same visit, but microneedling may need to be done separately to avoid affecting product placement. Your provider will create a tailored plan based on your goals and the safest treatment timing.
