COLLAGEN STIMULATORS
Duration: 60 min
Price: $800
Collagen stimulators, Radiesse and Sculptra, are injectable treatments that work to stimulate the body's natural collagen production.
Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres. When injected into the skin, it triggers the production of collagen. You may start to notice an improvement in volume and firmness shortly after the treatment. The full effects can continue to improve over several weeks, with results lasting up to a year or more.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid and requires a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Results become visible over several months as collagen production increases and can last up to two years or more.
