Are Biostimulators Painful?

Radiesse and Sculptra injections are hardly noticeable, as we use an ultra-thin needle. We also numb your skin with a topical anesthetic prior to administering biostimulators to maximize comfort, relaxation, and peace of mind.

How Many Appointments Do I Need?

You can expect results with Radiesse and Sculptra to last 12-24 months. Once you experience signs of aging returning, such as volume loss or lines and wrinkles, you can easily book a touch-up appointment at our state-of-the-art practice in Philadelphia.

How Long Until I See Results?

While hyaluronic acid-based fillers work quickly by filling in lines from the outside in, biostimulators work by gradually increasing the body’s output of collagen, a hydrating protein. This means it can take several months for the full benefits of your procedure to become apparent.

Can I Combine Biostimulators with Other Procedures?

Certainly, we can combine Sculptra or Radiesse with a range of other compelling wellness and aesthetic options, including BOTOX , lip augmentation , or other facial rejuvenation techniques, to maximize your results and leave you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and more youthful. Speak with our team about a combination treatment plan during your private consultation in Philadelphia.

Introduction

Renew Your Facial Skin With Sculptra

Unlike most dermal fillers, which require a single treatment, Sculptra Aesthetic usually requires three sessions, spaced over several months. This unique treatment plan is required because Sculptra is designed to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production and provide long-term benefits.

Radiesse Procedure

Radiesse is a dermal filler designed to add volume beneath the skin. By increasing volume, wrinkles, facial lines, and sunken areas of the face can be greatly reduced or eliminated. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which lose effectiveness once absorbed by the body, Radiesse actively stimulates collagen production and can provide benefits for up to 2 years. Made from an injectable hydrogel, Radiesse contains small microspheres derived from calcium hydroxylapatite.

When these microspheres are absorbed, collagen production increases, helping maintain a smooth and youthful appearance. The Radiesse procedure is quick and straightforward, and results are visible immediately. The treatment involves first pinpointing trouble areas on the face; once the areas to be treated are determined, a small injection is administered directly beneath the skin.

The filler helps even out wrinkles and lines and provides a more uniform, healthy appearance. Although the procedure can often be performed without anesthesia, we can also combine Radiesse with lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, to improve comfort.

Radiesse Candidates

Any patient 18 years of age or older may benefit from Radiesse treatment. Made from a naturally occurring substance in the body, Radiesse is inert, so there is no risk of an allergic reaction, and the procedure is non-invasive and nearly pain-free, making it an ideal option for individuals who are hesitant to undergo more extensive surgical procedures. If you are looking for a quick, safe, and effective way to reduce or eliminate the appearance of wrinkles and laugh lines, Radiesse may be for you.

Radiesse Benefits

Patients who undergo Radiesse treatment at our Philadelphia-area practice often remark just minutes after their procedure that they look and feel both younger and healthier. Radiesse is a dermal filler that increases volume beneath the skin; it provides instant results, improving not only a patient’s appearance but also their self-esteem and confidence in mere minutes. If you want to revitalize your appearance and turn back the clock, Radiesse is a remarkable option.

Collagen Regeneration – The Secret to Youthful Skin

Collagen is one of the primary structural elements of the skin, but it can degrade or break down as we age. The active ingredient in Sculptra is polylactic acid, which helps restore natural collagen production, smooth wrinkles and lines, and reduce a hollowed facial appearance in the temples or cheeks. Because Sculptra Aesthetic works to restore collagen structure in the dermis long after your injection treatment, the results can last up to two years.

Improve Your Look – And Your Self-Confidence

After your skin has been restored, you can expect to feel greater self-confidence and self-esteem. Reducing the appearance of conspicuous wrinkles can make you appear years younger, which can have a tremendous impact on your self-image. With improved confidence, you are more likely to make a positive first impression on others, feel more confident in social situations, and feel confident when interacting with friends, family, and business associates.
