Injectable Collagen Boosters

Injectable Collagen Boosters Services

Starting at age 20, we lose about 1% of our collagen each year, & by age 45 our faces show up to 25% collagen loss. Post-menopausal women lose collagen even faster – about 2% per year, & collagen they produce is of lower quality.  Age-induced collagen loss weakens skin’s inner structure, leading to lines, wrinkles, & folds, as well as a loss of skin volume & support. Dermal fillers only address lines, wrinkles, & folds, not collagen loss or skin structure.  I often recommend Sculptra & Radiesse biostimulatory treatments to my clients with severe face/body volume deficiencies, especially in cases when it would be cost prohibitive to inject multiple syringes of hyaluronic acid filler.

The advantages of this treatment include:

  • FDA approved
  • Rebuilding of collagen & elastin
  • Smoothing of mild to severe wrinkles & folds
  • Gradual & long-lasting regeneration of lost volume

Sculptra

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable poly-L-lactic acid that subtly restores lost volume by replenishing lost collagen & activating your skin’s natural regenerative process.  Common treatment areas include temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, Marionette lines, chin crease, & jaw. Body treatment areas include buttocks, knees, elbows, neck & decollete area.  Treatment is usually done with cannula, with results visible in 4-5 weeks & lasting 2+ years.  

Radiesse

1 hour

$700/syringe

Radiesse is a unique bio-stimulating injectable treatment of calcium-based microspheres (structurally similar to what is found in our bones & teeth) suspended in a water-based gel with lidocaine.  This filler helps build new collagen & elastin in order to correct lines & wrinkles for up to 2 years.  The diluted version of Radiesse can be used in more delicate neck & decollete areas, hands as well as for hip dip correction & Brazilian Butt Lift without surgery.  Treatment is done with cannula with results visible immediately.  The dilute version of Radiesse typically shows results in 4-5 weeks.

Faq's

Most clients will see results in 4-5 weeks.

Sculptra results last up to 2 years, especially if multiple sessions were performed at 1-month intervals.  Radiesse generally lasts for 15-18 months.  Diluted version of Radiesse used to stimulate collagen & elastin lasts even longer after several treatment sessions, spaced 1 month apart.
