Radiesse® & Sculptra®—Stimulate Collagen for Natural, Lasting Rejuvenation
At Preventous Cosmetic Medicine, our biostimulator treatments, Radiesse® and Sculptra®, work beneath the surface to restore firmness, refine contours, and rebuild collagen for long-term skin vitality.
Unlike traditional fillers, biostimulators trigger your body’s natural collagen production for gradual, natural-looking improvement. Radiesse® provides immediate lift and structure while stimulating collagen for lasting support, while Sculptra® works progressively to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and improve texture over time.
Safe, physician-directed, and non-surgical, biostimulators help you achieve rejuvenation that looks effortless and lasts.
- Stimulates natural collagen for long-term rejuvenation
- Non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime
- Physician-led precision for natural, balanced results
What to Expect
Your biostimulator treatment begins with a personalized consultation to assess your goals and determine whether Radiesse® or Sculptra® is best suited for your needs. Both injectables are performed by experienced physicians in a comfortable, medically supervised setting.
Radiesse® provides instant lift and contour as the gel adds volume beneath the skin, followed by gradual collagen stimulation over the following weeks for firmer, smoother texture. Sculptra® works more gradually, rebuilding the skin’s structure by activating collagen production deep within the dermis, revealing subtle, natural improvements that continue to develop for months.
Most treatments take 30–45 minutes with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for 1–2 days, but normal activities can be resumed right away.
Key Benefits of Biostimulator Treatment
Biostimulators like Radiesse® and Sculptra® go beyond traditional fillers by stimulating your body’s own collagen production for gradual, natural rejuvenation that lasts. They help:
- Restore lost volume and refine facial contours
- Smooth wrinkles and folds for a more youthful appearance
- Improve skin texture, tone, and firmness over time
- Support long-term collagen and elastin renewal
- Deliver natural, lasting results with minimal downtime
Conditions & Areas Treated
Biostimulator treatments are ideal for restoring structure, firmness, and volume in areas affected by age-related collagen loss. Radiesse® and Sculptra® effectively treat fine lines, wrinkles, and facial hollows while improving overall skin texture and elasticity. They are also used to enhance facial contours such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, and temples, and can rejuvenate areas like the neck, décolleté, and hands that show early signs of skin thinning.
Whether your goal is to smooth deep folds, redefine facial contours, or restore youthful support beneath the skin’s surface, biostimulators offer a natural, long-lasting solution designed to rebuild collagen and revitalize skin from within.
How Biostimulator Treatment Works
Biostimulator treatments like Radiesse® and Sculptra® work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production to restore structure, firmness, and volume from within. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add temporary volume, biostimulators activate the skin’s regenerative processes for results that continue to improve over time.
Radiesse® contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. Once injected, it provides immediate lift and contour while the microspheres gradually stimulate collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.
Sculptra®, made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), works deeper within the dermis to trigger collagen synthesis and strengthen the skin’s natural framework, creating a subtle, progressive improvement in firmness and volume over several months.
The result is smoother, tighter, more resilient skin, and facial contours that look naturally refreshed and youthful, with results that can last up to two years or longer.
Downtime
Biostimulator treatments such as Radiesse® and Sculptra® involve little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Because these treatments work beneath the skin to gradually stimulate collagen production, most patients can return to their regular routines immediately, making them a convenient option for natural, long-term rejuvenation without disruption.
Maintenance
Results from biostimulators develop progressively as new collagen forms and skin structure improves. Most patients begin to notice visible changes within several weeks, with optimal results appearing over 3–6 months. To maintain firmness and volume, a series of treatments may be recommended initially, followed by annual maintenance sessions. With ongoing care, the collagen-boosting effects of Radiesse® and Sculptra® can support smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin for up to two years or longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 What are biostimulators, and how do they work?
Biostimulators such as Radiesse® and Sculptra® are injectable treatments that go beyond traditional fillers by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that simply add volume, biostimulators work gradually, encouraging your body to rebuild its own structural support for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
02 What concerns can biostimulators treat?
Biostimulators are ideal for treating facial volume loss, deep wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity, as well as contouring areas like the cheeks, jawline, and chin. They can also improve skin texture and firmness and rejuvenate the hands, neck, and décolleté.
03What’s the difference between Radiesse® and Sculptra®?
While both stimulate collagen, they do so in different ways. Radiesse® contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that provide immediate lift and structure, followed by gradual collagen stimulation. Sculptra®, made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), works more subtly, rebuilding collagen over several weeks for a natural, progressive enhancement.
04Are biostimulators safe?
Yes. Both Radiesse® and Sculptra® are FDA and Health Canada–approved and have an excellent safety record when administered by qualified professionals. At Preventous, all injectable treatments are performed in a physician-supervised environment using medical-grade products and evidence-based techniques.
05Do biostimulator treatments hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing agent is typically applied before treatment, and the products themselves contain lidocaine for added comfort. You may feel mild pressure or a pinching sensation that resolves quickly.
06 How many treatments will I need?
The number of sessions varies by product and goal. Radiesse® often provides noticeable results in one session, while Sculptra® typically requires 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart. Both continue to improve over time as collagen production increases.
07When will I see results?
Radiesse® provides immediate lift and contouring, with continued improvement over the next few months. Sculptra® results develop gradually, becoming visible after several weeks and continuing to improve for up to six months as new collagen forms.
08What is the downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically subsides within 24–48 hours. Most patients return to their regular activities the same day.
09How long do results last?
Biostimulators offer long-lasting results—typically 12 to 24 months or more, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and treatment plan. Regular maintenance sessions can help preserve your results over time.
10Can biostimulators be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine Radiesse® or Sculptra® with treatments such as neurotoxins (Botox), PRP therapy, or laser resurfacing for enhanced rejuvenation and longevity. Your Preventous provider will recommend the ideal combination for your goals.
