Sculptra is Poly-L-Lactic Acid and Hyperdilute (HD) Radiesse is Calicum Hydroxyapatite. Both are able to stimulate collagen and volume when injected into the skin and tissue for long-term rejuvenation. Sculptra and HD Radiesse are not only limited to the face but can also be used in the body to treat loose crepey skin from the neck, chest, hands, elbows, knees, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and buttocks. Results are healthier, tighter, and smoother skin from the inside out.

Collagen stimualators require multiple sessions averaging between 2-4 sessions depending on the treated area. Results can last 3-5 years. One booster/maintenance session every 2-3 years is recommended.

There is lidocaine mixed into the injections and the procedure feels vey similar to dermal filler injections. The procedure can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the area(s) being injected. There will be 3-5 days of swelling, lumps/bumps, soreness/tenderness, and possible bruising.
