Treatment Overview
Biostimulators don't just fill; they teach the skin to rebuild itself. Sculptra® (poly‑L‑lactic acid) gradually stimulates collagen over three to six months for a natural, full‑face restoration that lasts two years or more. Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite) gives immediate volume plus long‑term collagen.
Hyperdilute Radiesse spread thinly beneath crepey skin on the neck, décolletage, arms or hands improves skin quality itself rather than adding volume, and is one of our most requested treatments for texture.

Book TodayFrequently Asked Questions
Sculptra or Radiesse?
Sculptra is best for gradual, diffuse volume across the face. Radiesse gives immediate structure and works well in the hands and jawline. Hyperdilute Radiesse is for skin quality. We'll match the product to your goal.
When will I see results?
Radiesse immediately. Sculptra builds over six to twelve weeks after each session.
How many sessions?
Two to three vials of Sculptra spaced four to six weeks apart, then maintenance every eighteen to twenty‑four months.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. Sculptra requires five minutes of massage, five times a day, for five days.
Is it reversible?
No, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers. That's why we place biostimulators conservatively and build gradually.
