Radiesse®, Sculptra®

If you are noticing fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss, biostimulators can help you achieve long-lasting correction! As we age our body’s collagen production decreases. If fact, we start to lose about 1% of collagen per year starting at age 18. By age 40, most of us have lost up to 20% of our natural collagen. Age related collagen loss weakens the skins structure, reducing its ability to maintain elasticity and moisture. Gradually, skin loses it’s youthful bounce, leading to lines, wrinkles and folds, as well as a loss of skin volume and support. Injectable biostimulator medications like Radiesse and Sculptra can help!

When a biostimulator is injected, it triggers your skin to start making more collagen over time. This process gradually improves skin texture, volume, and overall appearance. These treatments are often used to reduce wrinkles, fill in areas with lost volume, and enhance facial contours. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting, as they work with your body's natural processes!

Biostimulators is safe and effective for all skin types and can provide dramatic facial rejuvenation! Both Radiesse and Scultpra are FDA-approved injectable medications that help gradually replace lost collagen.

• Radiesse is Calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA. Upon injection, the Radiesse CaHA gel matrix can provide immediate improvement. And the CaHA particles form a “scaffold” that stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen for up to a year and elastin for up to nine months (after only one injection).

• Scultpra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and works in the dermis of the skin. Injection of this medication causes an immune response that triggers the release of collagen and elastin which forms a framework that helps support and maintain the skin’s inner structure leading to a more youthful appearance.

Results appear gradually and can last several years! Biostimulators provide natural looking results and a more youthful appearance, it’s no wonder why we LOVE them! Schedule a consultation with one of our training practitioners to determine which one would be best for you.
