Sculptra

Sculptra® is an FDA-approved, biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable synthetic material that has been safely used in medical applications for decades. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating the body’s own natural collagen production, leading to subtle, progressive, and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Radiesse

Radiesse® is a unique, FDA-approved dermal filler formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. It provides immediate volumization upon injection while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen production over time. This dual-action approach makes Radiesse ideal for both instant contour enhancement and long-term skin rejuvenation, improving overall skin quality, elasticity, and firmness.
