Sculptra and Radiesse both stimulate your body’s own collagen production, gradually restoring facial volume and softening wrinkles without an overdone look.
Sculptra and Radiesse are collagen biostimulators, rather than traditional fillers. Instead of simply adding volume, they stimulate your body to gradually rebuild its own collagen, restoring facial volume and softening wrinkles and folds over time, for a natural, long-lasting result.
Sculptra and Radiesse are used to restore volume across several areas of the face.

Made of poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra works purely through gradual collagen stimulation, with no immediate volume at the time of injection. Results build slowly over the following weeks and months as your own collagen rebuilds, which is why it's a favorite for a subtle, long-term refresh. Results can last up to two years or more.
Made of calcium hydroxylapatite, Radiesse provides some immediate volume right at the time of injection, then continues stimulating your own collagen production over the following months for longer-lasting improvement. Results typically last around 12 to 18 months.
We map out treatment areas and expectations together, and help you decide between Sculptra, Radiesse, or a combination, based on your goals and timeline.

Traditional hyaluronic acid filler adds volume immediately and holds it in place; Sculptra and Radiesse work by stimulating your own collagen production, so results build gradually for a more natural, long-lasting effect.
Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, tailored to your goals during your consultation.
Radiesse results typically last around 12 to 18 months. Sculptra results can last up to two years or more for many clients, since you're rebuilding your own collagen rather than relying solely on an injected filler.
