Next Generation Dermal Fillers: Sculptra Aesthetic and Radiesse®

Dr. Scott J. Zevon

Sculptra Aesthetic and RADIESSE® are a step beyond the well-known hyaluronic acid (HA) products such as JUVÉDERM®. They prompt the body to produce new collagen in addition to plumping the skin.

Because aging slows the body’s ability to renew and support the skin, these injectable gels encourage the body to grow healthy new collagen. Overtime they help replace lost volume over time, sometimes providing results for a year or more.

Sculptra Aesthetic and RADIESSE® are an exciting option for anyone who wants to reverse the visible signs of facial aging without a surgical approach.The way each one achieves this is bit different, but both work with your body’s natural processes.

RADIESSE®.

This product works right away, instantly adding volume to the face. But during the next few months after treatment, RADIESSE® will also stimulate collagen production so your skin continues to look smoother and more youthful.

Sculptra Aesthetic.

This injectable also uses a micro-particle gel. Instead of a single treatment, it is administered in a series of sessions over a few months, usually consisting of three injections. Its volumizing effects emerge over time, and have been shown in studies to last up to two years. As with RADIESSE®, Sculptra Aesthetic works to encourage collagen production deep in the dermis.

RADIESSE® and Sculptra Aesthetic are long-lasting dermal fillers that present exciting options for facial rejuvenation. By stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, they can continue to provide improvement long after the treatment itself.
