Collagen Stimulating Fillers

Collagen-Stimulating Fillers at SkinScience MD

Collagen-stimulating fillers such as Sculptra and Radiesse offer a unique, long-term approach to facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that add volume instantly, these biostimulatory injectables work deep within the skin to stimulate your body’s own collagen production. At SkinScience MD by Dr. Cynthia Price, we recommend these treatments for patients seeking subtle, progressive improvement in facial structure, firmness, and skin texture.

As we age, natural collagen loss causes the skin to lose volume, elasticity, and support. This often results in hollow cheeks, deeper wrinkles, and a general lack of firmness. Collagen-stimulating fillers address these changes by encouraging the skin to rebuild its foundational structure over time.

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible compound that triggers collagen synthesis in the deep dermis. It is ideal for treating facial volume loss in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds. The results build gradually over several weeks and can last more than two years with a series of treatments.

Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It provides both immediate volume and long-term collagen stimulation, making it a versatile option for contouring the cheeks, chin, and lower face. Radiesse is also effective for hand rejuvenation, restoring volume and improving skin texture in one treatment.

Treatments typically take about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas addressed. Most patients require a series of two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve full results. While there may be mild swelling or bruising at injection sites, downtime is minimal and most patients return to their normal routine the same day.

Unlike traditional fillers that fade as they dissolve, collagen-stimulating treatments support lasting improvement by strengthening the skin’s own structure. The results appear gradually, creating a natural and refreshed appearance that evolves over time.

At SkinScience MD, we take a thoughtful, artistic approach to facial rejuvenation. Our team will assess your facial anatomy, aging concerns, and treatment goals to determine whether Sculptra, Radiesse, or a combination is the best option for you.

Rediscover the resilience and volume of youthful skin. Schedule a consultation at SkinScience MD to explore the benefits of collagen-stimulating fillers and begin your personalized skin restoration journey.
