TWO DISTINCT APPROACHES

Sculptra or Radiesse?

Both treatments support collagen and improve facial structure, but they work differently. Your treatment recommendation will depend on your anatomy, skin quality, desired timeline and aesthetic goals.

Sculptra

Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid and works gradually by stimulating your natural collagen production. It is ideal for patients seeking progressive improvement in facial structure, skin quality and overall volume support.

Radiesse

Radiesse is made with calcium hydroxylapatite and can provide immediate structural support while also stimulating collagen and elastin production over time. It may be used to improve contour, definition and skin quality.
