Radiesse®
Radiesse®
Radiesse is a dermal filler commonly used to smooth wrinkles and add volume to facial areas. Results from Radiesse injections are generally immediate, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance that can last up to a year or more.
The primary chemical component in Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite, a biocompatible substance that is found naturally in human bones. This compound serves as the foundation for Radiesse's volumizing effect, promoting collagen stimulation and contributing to long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
Calcium hydroxlapatite not only provides immediate volume upon injection but also stimulates the production of collagen, a crucial protein for skin structure and elasticity. As collagen continues to develop around the injected particles, it contributes to sustained tissue support, resulting in the prolonged effects of Radiesse, which can last up to a year or more.

What is Sculptra primarily used for?
Sculptra is often used to restore lost facial volume, which naturally diminishes with age. As we age, our skin loses collagen and fat, leading to sagging and hollow areas on the face. Sculptra can fill in these areas, providing a fuller and more youthful appearance.
Does Sculptra help with wrinkles?
Sculptra is effective in reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin). By stimulating collagen production, Sculptra can improve the skin's texture and smooth out these lines.
What makes Sculptra different?
Sculptra offers a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation. Unlike surgical procedures, Sculptra
injections involve minimal downtime and recovery, making it a convenient choice for individuals
seeking cosmetic enhancements without the risks and long recovery associated with surgery.
Sculptra is not a hyaluronic acid gel like Juvaderm® or Resalin®. Sculptra doesn't add volume.
It acts like a "fertilizer" for your fibroblast cells. These are the cells that stimulate collagen production.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production gradually. This gradual process leads to natural-looking results that develop over a few weeks. Other fillers might provide immediate results, which some individuals find less natural-looking.
How long does Sculptra last?
Sculptra can provide long-lasting results, with effects that can last up to two years or more in some cases. This means fewer maintenance treatments compared to some other dermal fillers, making it a cost-effective option for individuals seeking long-term facial rejuvenation.
