Bio Stimulant Fillers

While Sculptra and Radiesse are marketed as dermal fillers, they are actually biostimulators.  Unlike HA filler, a biostimulator leads to permanent change by stimulating the body’s fibroblast cells to produce and deposit new collagen.  Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse (polymethylmethacrylate) gradually fade over two to five years.  Sculptra is FDA-approved for restoration of facial fat loss and is well-suited to replace volume in the hollow area under the cheek and/or at temples. These fillers are typically injected over 2 to 3 appointment visits, 6 to 8 weeks apart (some patients may require more than this).
