Sculptra & Radiesse (Salt Lake City and Park City)

Rebuild your skin's foundation naturally. Sculptra and Radiesse are bio-stimulator injectables that work differently than traditional fillers—instead of simply filling lines, they stimulate your body's own collagen production for gradual, natural-looking results that can last up to two years or more.

Understanding Bio-Stimulators:

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra and Radiesse work with your body to rebuild collagen structure over time. This creates natural-looking improvement that develops gradually and lasts significantly longer.

SCULPTRA: The Collagen Stimulator

Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—the same biocompatible material used in dissolvable sutures. When injected, it triggers your body's natural collagen production, gradually restoring volume and improving skin quality.

How Sculptra Works:

• Injected into deeper layers of skin
• Triggers natural collagen production
• Results develop over 2-3 months
• Improvements continue over 6 months
• Results last up to 2+ years

Sculptra Treats:

• Volume loss in cheeks and temples
• Sagging skin and facial contours
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Overall skin quality and texture
• Mid-face and lateral face concerns

RADIESSE: Immediate + Long-Term

Radiesse offers unique dual-action benefits—providing immediate volume correction while stimulating natural collagen production. Using calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, Radiesse delivers instant lift that continues improving as your body builds new collagen.

How Radiesse Works:

• Gel provides immediate volume
• CaHA microspheres stimulate collagen
• Results improve over time
• Natural-feeling outcomes
• Results last 12-18+ months

Radiesse Treats:

• Deep facial folds and lines
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines
• Pre-jowl area
• Cheek and temple volume
• Hand rejuvenation
• Jawline definition

Key Benefits:

Sculptra:

• Gradual, natural-looking results
• Long-lasting improvements (2+ years)
• Improved overall skin quality
• Natural collagen stimulation
• Subtle, progressive enhancement

Radiesse:

• Immediate visible results
• Continued improvement over time
• Natural feeling and appearance
• Excellent for structural support
• Long-lasting (12-18 months)

Treatment Experience:

Both treatments involve strategic injections using fine needles or cannulas. Sessions typically take 30-45 minutes. Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended for optimal results—Sculptra typically requires 2-3 sessions spaced weeks apart, while Radiesse often achieves goals in 1-2 sessions.

What to Expect:

Sculptra:

• Immediate: Mild swelling from injection fluid
• Week 1: Swelling subsides
• Months 1-3: Gradual improvement begins
• Months 3-6: Full results emerge
• Results: Last 2+ years

Radiesse:

• Immediate: Visible volume correction
• Weeks 1-2: Settling and initial healing
• Months 1-3: Continued improvement as collagen builds
• Results: Last 12-18+ months

Post-Treatment Care:

Both treatments require the "Rule of 5s":

• Massage treated areas 5 times daily
• For 5 days
• 5 minutes each time

This ensures even distribution and optimal results.
