About Sculptra & Radiesse

Your body builds
its own results

Biostimulators are fundamentally different from fillers. Where a filler adds volume by injecting a gel beneath the skin, a biostimulator triggers your body to produce its own collagen — rebuilding facial structure from within, gradually, over weeks and months.

Sculptra’s active ingredient — poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — is biocompatible and biodegradable. Once injected, it integrates with your tissue and signals your body to produce new collagen at the treatment site. The PLLA is gradually absorbed, but the collagen it stimulated remains. The result is volume, firmness, and structure that lasts up to two years or more.

This is the treatment for patients who want to rebuild, not just fill. It’s the difference between renting volume and owning it.

The Process

What to expect
on treatment day

01
Assessment

Layanna maps your facial or body structure, identifies areas of volume loss or fat accumulation, and recommends the right biostimulator protocol — including honest guidance on what Sculptra can and can’t do.

02
Treatment

Sculptra and Radiesse are injected in a grid pattern across treatment areas. PRP/PRF is applied to the skin or injected. Fat dissolvers are placed into targeted fat deposits. Numbing applied beforehand. 45–90 minutes depending on scope.

03
Massage

For Sculptra: you’ll massage the treated area 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days (the “5-5-5 rule”). This distributes the product evenly and prevents nodule formation.

04
Results Build

Sculptra and Radiesse collagen builds over 4–12 weeks. PRP/PRF improvements develop over 4–8 weeks. Fat dissolvers take 4–8 weeks as your body metabolizes eliminated cells. Full Sculptra/Radiesse results typically require 2–3 sessions.

Frequently Asked

Biostimulator questions,
answered honestly

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that stimulates your body’s own collagen production. Once injected, it integrates with your tissue and triggers a gradual rebuilding of facial structure — volume, firmness, and skin quality all improve over 4–12 weeks. The PLLA is naturally absorbed, but the collagen it stimulated remains for 2+ years.
Fillers add immediate volume using hyaluronic acid gel. Sculptra doesn’t add volume directly — it signals your body to produce its own collagen, rebuilding structure from within. Fillers last 6–18 months and are fully reversible. Sculptra lasts 2+ years but cannot be dissolved. Many clients use both: fillers for immediate contouring and Sculptra for long-term structural support.
No. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra cannot be dissolved with an enzyme. It works by stimulating your own collagen, which becomes part of your tissue. This is why choosing an experienced injector is critical. Layanna’s conservative approach — building gradually over 2–3 sessions rather than overcorrecting in one — is the best safeguard.
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable containing deoxycholic acid, which permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Once those cells are eliminated, they can never store fat again. The body naturally metabolizes the destroyed cells over 4–8 weeks. Typically 2–4 sessions are needed, each spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Our most comprehensive body biostimulator treatment (from $5,500, 90 minutes). It combines strategic Sculptra placement with fat-dissolving injections to contour, lift, and reshape targeted body areas — creating curves and definition without surgery. Results develop over 8–12 weeks. Cherry and Affirm financing available — 0% APR options on qualifying purchases.
Most clients require 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the treatment area, degree of volume loss, and your goals. Layanna assesses this during your skin assessment and sets realistic expectations — including showing you what’s achievable with biostimulation vs. what might be better addressed with filler.
No — and that’s by design. You may notice initial fullness from the injection volume, but this subsides within days as the water is absorbed. The real results develop gradually over 4–12 weeks as collagen production increases. This gradual timeline is what makes Sculptra results look completely natural — people notice you look great, not that you’ve had something done.
Yes. Sculptra improves skin texture, firmness, and the appearance of fine lines on the neck by stimulating collagen production. The neck is a delicate area requiring experienced technique and should only be performed by a skilled injector.
Yes. Sculptra can reduce the appearance of jowls by restoring volume and stimulating collagen in the cheeks and jawline area. This added structural support helps lift and tighten sagging skin, improving facial contours over time. For significant jowling, Layanna may recommend combining Sculptra with Kybella (to dissolve excess fat) and/or neurotoxins.
Both permanently destroy fat cells. Kybella is FDA-approved specifically for submental (under-chin) fat and has the strongest clinical evidence. PC-DC (phosphatidylcholine-deoxycholate) is a similar fat-dissolving injectable that can be used in a wider range of small areas. Kybella is $600/vial. PC-DC is $550 per session. Layanna will recommend which is right for your anatomy during your assessment.
