Collagen Biositimulaton with Hyperdilute Radiesse and Sculptra at Allen Medical Aesthetics
Redefine the journey of aging with advanced fillers known to stimulate tissue regeneration, triggering the growth of natural collagen for a long-lasting, revitalized appearance. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which simply add volume, biostimulatory fillers stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, leading to a plumper, smoother, and more youthful appearance that can last for years.
Explore the transformative benefits, learn our meticulous procedure process, and find answers to common questions.
- Restores the skin’s underlying structure
- Triggers the production of new collagen and elastin
- Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
- Long term results (1-2 years)
- May require at least 2-3 every 4-6 weeks apart or until desired results are met.
What Are Biostimulatory Fillers?
Biostimulators also known as collagen stimulators are extremely effective at stimulating new tissue growth, new collagen and elastin – the essential building blocks of youthful skin. These fillers are strategically injected, primarily near the bone, to address deeper signs of aging like:
- Skin sagging
- Reduced elasticity
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Volume loss
- Declining bone mass
The active ingredients that make collagen production possible are Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and hyperdilute or dilute Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA). The increased collagen production provides a sustained outcome, with effects lasting between 18 and 24 months.
What Are Biostimulatory Fillers For?
Biostimulatory fillers are ideal for patients with:
- More extensive volume loss
- The desire for long-lasting results
- A need for re-volumization in both the face and body
We treat clients from across Seattle to Bellevue and surrounding areas interested in boosting their skincare.
Hyperdilute Radiesse and Sculptra: Collagen Boosting Skin Rejuvenators
At Allen Medical Aesthetics, we offer two leading biostimulatory fillers: Sculptra and Radiesse. Both Radiesse and Sculptra work wonders for skin rejuvenation but cater to slightly different needs:
Radiesse
- Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres provide immediate volume correction while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results (1-2 years).
- Excellent for addressing moderate wrinkles, lines, and sculpting facial features.
- Two sessions done 8-12 weeks apart is usually recommended or until ideal results are achieved.
Sculptra
- Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) stimulates collagen production over a longer period, typically showing optimal results after 3-6 months.
- Sculptra treatments are ideal for correcting deeper wrinkles, folds, and overall facial volume loss.
- At least 3 sessions are recommended to achieve desired results.
The Benefits of Bio-stimulatory Fillers
- Natural-looking results: Your body produces its own collagen, leading to a gradual, natural-looking improvement.
- Long-lasting effects: Fullness and smoother skin for up to 2 years.
- Improved skin quality: Collagen production not only adds volume but also enhances skin texture and elasticity.
- Minimal downtime: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities within a few days.

When will I see results?
While you may see some immediate volume due to the filler itself, the full collagen-rebuilding effect takes time, usually 3-6 months for Sculptra results and 1-2 months for Radiesse.
How many treatments are needed?
Typically, 2-3 treatment sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart are recommended to achieve desired results.
Is the procedure painful?
Topical anesthetic minimizes discomfort along the injection sites. You may experience a slight pinching sensation in the treatment area, but most patients tolerate the procedure well!
Are there any side effects?
Yes, some possible side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness. These typically subside within a week.
Am I a good candidate for Biostimulators?
If you’re experiencing more extensive volume loss, seeking more volume in both facial and body areas, and desire longer-lasting results, you may be an ideal candidate for Biostimulatory Fillers.
We highly recommend scheduling a consultation with our trained injectors to assess your specific needs and determine the most suitable plan to achieve your goals.

What is the downside to Biostimulatory Fillers?
Biostimulatory Fillers are not dissolvable, unlike Hyaluronic Acid Fillers. For this reason, it’s crucial to choose a skilled and experienced medspa professional for this procedure to ensure safe and effective results. You can learn more about Allen Medical Aesthetic’s extensive experience here.
