What Are Bio-Stimulatory Injectables?

Bio-stimulatory injectables are next-generation dermal fillers that do more than temporarily smooth lines and wrinkles—they actively stimulate your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin for long-term rejuvenation.

Sculptra is formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible compound that gradually rebuilds the skin’s structural support by encouraging collagen and elastin synthesis. Radiesse, composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel carrier, delivers both immediate volume and ongoing skin-firming benefits by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

In addition to its traditional use as a volumizing filler, Radiesse can be modified into a dilute or hyperdilute formulation by adding sterile saline or lidocaine. This advanced technique allows it to be used across broader or more delicate areas—not just to restore volume, but to enhance skin tone, texture, and firmness in regions affected by laxity or crepiness.

What Are the Benefits of Bio-Stimulatory Injectables?

Bio-stimulatory injectables offer natural, progressive rejuvenation with results that can last up to two years or more. By stimulating collagen and elastin at a cellular level, they improve overall skin quality—including texture, elasticity, and firmness—while delivering subtle volume enhancement.

Sculptra and Radiesse are particularly effective for contouring and restoring volume in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and hands. When used in their dilute forms, Radiesse extends these benefits to larger and more delicate areas such as the face, neck, décolleté, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. These treatments help tighten lax skin, reduce crepiness, and restore a youthful, smooth appearance—without surgery or downtime.

What Can I Expect During Treatment with Bio-Stimulatory Injectables?

Treatment sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes. After cleansing the skin, your provider may apply a topical anesthetic for added comfort. The injectable is then administered using a fine needle or cannula, tailored to your treatment goals and the targeted area. Most patients report minimal discomfort and a well-tolerated experience.

What Can I Expect After Treatment with Bio-Stimulatory Injectables?

You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually resolves within a few days. With Sculptra and dilute or hyperdilute Radiesse, results develop gradually across a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, as collagen and elastin production is stimulated beneath the skin. Traditional Radiesse also delivers immediate volumizing effects in addition to long-term improvement.

Most patients can return to normal activities the same day, though it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and heat for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. To maintain optimal results, the expert providers at Scottsdale Skin Boutique & Dermatology recommend semiannual maintenance sessions.
