Sculptra and Radiesse biostimulators stimulate collagen production over time, making them a strategic option for improving tissue quality and restoring natural firmness across the face, cheeks, jowls, temples, neck, and hands. At ELEV8, we use biostimulators to improve visible signs of volume loss and skin laxity so you can age gracefully.

How Biostimulators Work

Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse create a controlled response in the tissue that signals your body to produce new collagen.

Collagen gives skin and soft tissue their firmness, density, and resilience, which is why restoring collagen helps to preserve the face longer, age in a more natural-looking way, and even reverse certain signs of aging or tissue damage.

Treatment Areas

  • Face volume restoration
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Cheeks 
  • Jowls
  • Temples
  • Neck lines and wrinkles

Frequently Asked Questions

Sculptra and Radiesse are both biostimulators, which means they help stimulate collagen production over time. Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid, which helps stimulate collagen gradually over time. Radiesse is made with calcium hydroxylapatite, which can provide more immediate structure while also encouraging collagen production. Hyperdilute Radiesse is a diluted form of Radiesse that has a thinner, more fluid consistency and spreads through the tissue to improve firmness, texture, and skin quality.

Most patients need a series of treatments. The exact number depends on your age, tissue quality, degree of collagen loss, and how much restoration we want to accomplish. Many patients plan for a 6-12 month process, and then maintain their results with occasional touch-ups.

Biostimulators do not give an instant final result because your body needs time to build new collagen. You may notice early improvement from swelling or initial product placement, but the true result develops gradually. Most patients begin to see visible changes within 6-12 weeks, with stronger results appearing around 3-6 months after their series.

No. Biostimulators do not create the puffy look that many patients associate with injectables. Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse have a thin, watery consistency that diffuses through the tissue. That is why biostimulator results look so natural: rather than adding volume with a product, Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse simply activate your own collagen response, so the improvement you see is the result of gradual tissue growth, thickening, and strengthening.

You may experience swelling, tenderness, bruising, or firmness after your treatment. This is a normal part of the process. Bruising typically improves within 1-2 weeks, depending on the treatment area.

It is also normal to like the way you look right after your appointment, then feel like the results disappeared once the initial swelling settled. Don’t worry: that does not mean the treatment failed. Collagen simply takes time to build, so the real result develops over the following weeks and months.

Follow your provider’s exact aftercare instructions. You may need to massage the treated areas, depending on the product and placement. Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, saunas, facial massage, and pressure on the treated area for 24–48 hours, or as directed.

Contact ELEV8 right away if you notice severe pain, unusual discoloration, or worsening swelling.

I’m so happy with my results from Hailey! I originally went in thinking I wanted a lip flip, but she recommended gummy smile Botox instead and I’m so glad I listened to her. I really appreciated that she took the time to look at my face and explain what she thought would give me the best results for me. She’s super sweet, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable. I love my results and will definitely be going back to her!

Tara was friendly, professional, and excellent at explaining the options. The procedure was very smooth and no more painful than a bee sting.

I must say that ELEV8 Aesthetics is my go to for all of my self-care needs.  Hailey is very knowledgeable and trustworthy, she has never tried to oversell anything, and she always goes above and beyond.  Not only am I very satisfied with my treatments and results, I truly feel she listens to me, and that, I feel is invaluable.  I have no reservations referring Elev8 Aesthetics to all of my family and friends.

I'm very happy with how Hailey did my Botox. The results are excellent. I'd previously done it elsewhere and wasn't satisfied. She's very pleasant and kind, and she does everything quickly and professionally. I highly recommend her!

I had never had any injectables when I found Elev8, and am so glad I did! Hailey explains everything thoroughly and will guide you to make the best decision for you, not just give you what you came in asking about or what costs the most. The results have been great for both PRP under eye filler and Botox. Easy and flexible scheduling too.

I don’t often leave reviews, but I genuinely had such an amazing experience today with Tara. For context, this was my first time ever receiving injectables of any kind. I’ve been doing my research for months upon months to try and find someone that I felt like I could trust—I’m so glad I did! I booked a consultation and had several questions. She took the time to break down and explain every concern that I expressed and was extremely knowledgeable. It was so nice to feel included and educated every step of the way! There was no pressure/judgement to do anything I didn’t discuss in the consultation. They also offer a discounted rate for Botox if you’ve never been before. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Tara more for any of your needs. ❤️
