Sculptra & Radiesse

What is Sculptra? What is Radiesse?

Sculptra® and Radiesse® are both collagen bio-stimulators, which trigger the body’s natural collagen production to rejuvenate the skin and reverse signs of aging, providing long term results with minimal maintenance. They differ in their formulation, with Radiesse being composed of the active ingredient calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and Sculptra containing the active ingredient poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Both are long-lasting and effective, with no downtime necessary following treatment. Sculptra® treatments can begin to show improvements in around six weeks, while Radiesse® treatments can offer more immediate results, making them great for events or date nights.

Bio-Stimulators

Sculptra  and Radiesse are injectable therapies that increases collagen formation in the skin. Collagen is a protein that gives the skin structure and suppleness; however, as we age, our natural collagen synthesis declines, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

One of the advantages of collagen bio-stimulators (Sculptra or Radiesse) is that they can assist in enhancing skin texture and tone. The skin gets firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking as new collagen is created in reaction to the therapy.

This is especially useful for people who are concerned about the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and other aging symptoms. Another advantage of Sculptra or Radiesse is that they can provide long-term benefits.

Mechanism of Action For the treatment of facial lipoatrophy

Sculptra (PLLA microparticles) increases the collagen by stimulating the fibroblasts via a foreign body reaction and thickens the dermis by acting as a dermal matrix.

Radiesse contains CaHA particles that integrate into your skin and create a “scaffold” that stimulates production of collagen and elastin.

Bio-Stimulator Face Lift

As you get older you may experience gradual loss of fat in your face, you may look tired, and notice more lines and wrinkles. Sculptra and Radiesse can create a natural rejuvenation, restore, plump and create a youthful contour through collagen development.

  • Sculptra®: As a bio-stimulator, Sculptra® may take up to a month to show noticeable changes as it works by stimulating collagen production.
  • Radiesse®: Provides almost immediate results due to its high viscosity, which also promotes extended collagen production.
