What are
CollagenBiostimulators?
Collagen biostimulators offer a sophisticated solution for those seeking to enhance their skin’s natural beauty and combat the signs of aging. Sculptra®, composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and Radiesse®, made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), are biocompatible substances that work in harmony with your body’s natural processes to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. Specifically, these treatments are designed to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, effectively restoring volume, improving skin texture, and contouring facial features with remarkable precision and longevity.
At Van Michael Aesthetics, we utilize only the most refined, FDA-approved collagen biostimulators to achieve natural-looking results that harmonize with your unique facial architecture. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, these innovative treatments work with your body to improve skin quality and facial contours.
How Do Collagen Biostimulators Work?
When skillfully injected beneath the skin, these advanced treatments trigger a biological process that stimulates collagen production, resulting in gradual and lasting improvements in skin quality, volume, and contour.
Sculptra®
Sculptra®, containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), works as a collagen stimulator by creating a supportive framework within the deeper layers of the skin. This framework prompts the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen production by fibroblasts. The outcome is a gradual, natural-looking enhancement lasting up to two years or more.
Radiesse®
Radiesse®, in contrast, features calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel carrier. It offers immediate volumization and promotes collagen growth as the gel is absorbed and the CaHA microspheres continue stimulating collagen production.
Treatment begins with a thorough facial assessment, where our experts evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Based on this assessment, they develop a customized treatment plan. The biostimulator is injected into targeted areas, providing an immediate volumizing effect. Over time, PLLA or CaHA particles act as a scaffold, encouraging new collagen formation. As the biostimulator is metabolized, it is replaced by newly formed collagen, enhancing skin quality and volume. The process continues for several months, with optimal results typically seen after 3-6 months and lasting up to two years or more.
