Sculptra is an non-invasive injectable volumizer made of poly-l-lactic acid which can safely and effectively address changes in the aging face. This unique agent is not a filler, but is a stimulator of the patient's own deep skin layers. This means that you can achieve permanent volume replacement in order to better achieve the youthful contour and offset the effects of gravity and aging. This can deliver a subtle and natural result that is gradual.

Sculptra Treatment for Deep Wrinkles and Volume Loss

Radiesse® differs from other injectable materials in that it is comprised of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The CaHA microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows, and is reputed to produce a longer lasting effect. Over time, your body absorbs the gel carrier while collagen has started to grow and infiltrate the area, replacing the gel with your own, natural tissue.
