What You Need to Know about Sculptra® and Radiesse®
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® is an injectable that promotes collagen production, gradually restoring facial volume and improving skin structure. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate results, Sculptra® works in phases. Typically, patients undergo 2-3 treatment sessions spaced over several months. Each session builds on the previous one, with full effects appearing gradually as collagen rebuilds.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is a dermal filler that immediately adds volume to the skin and promotes collagen production for longer-term results. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, it is injected beneath the skin to treat mild to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds (the lines extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth). Unlike Sculptra®, Radiesse® provides immediate results, making it a popular option for patients who want a quick improvement.
When will I see the results of Sculptra® and Radiesse®?
Sculptra® works gradually, with full results visible after 2-3 months as collagen production increases. Radiesse® offers immediate volume, with continued improvement over the following weeks due to collagen stimulation.
What is the difference between Dermal Fillers and Sculptra®?
Fillers like Radiesse® provide instant volume by filling areas of lost fat or deep lines. Sculptra®, on the other hand, works over time by stimulating collagen production for gradual improvements in skin texture and volume.
