Biostimulators: Sculptra & Radiesse
Collagen Biostimulators
Sculpt, Lift & Restore Volume
Biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse are advanced injectable treatments designed to restore facial volume, improve skin firmness, and stimulate long term collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, bio-stimulators work gradually by activating your body’s own regenerative processes, giving you a natural looking lift that builds over time.
Key Benefits:
- Gradually restores lost volume and enhances natural contours
- Lifts and firms sagging or ageing skin
- Stimulates collagen for long term structural support
- Improves skin texture, elasticity, and tone
- Delivers natural looking, subtle results over time
- Results can last twelve to twenty four months with proper maintenance
How It Works:
Biostimulators are injected into targeted areas where volume loss or skin laxity is present. These specialised injectables contain ingredients that trigger collagen production beneath the skin’s surface. Over the following weeks and months, your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted, with results that can last up to two years, depending on the product used and individual response.
Treatment Details:
- Recommended sessions (Sculptra): One treatment per decade of life, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with maintenance every 18 to 24 months
- Recommended sessions (Radiesse): 2-3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with maintenance every 18 months
- Treatment time: Approximately 45 to 60 minutes
- Downtime: Some swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur. Aftercare must be strictly followed.

Pre-Care
Avoid sun exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight for 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. No sunbeds or active tan, your treatment may be refused if your skin is too sun-exposed.
Pause active skincare: Stop using retinoids, acids (AHAs/BHAs), scrubs, and vitamin C for 5 to 7 days beforehand to prevent irritation.
Hold off on blood thinners: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for a few days unless prescribed, as they can increase bruising.
Wait if your skin is irritated: Postpone treatment if you have active acne, open wounds, cold sores, or any skin infections in the area.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days before your appointment to support healing and better results.
Avoid alcohol: Skip alcohol for at least 24 hours prior as it can increase sensitivity and bruising.
No waxing or hair removal creams: Avoid these on the treatment area for 5 to 7 days before your appointment.
Come with clean skin: Arrive with a freshly cleansed face and no makeup, moisturiser, sunscreen, or skincare products.
Wait after other treatments: Wait at least 14 days after anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, or other aesthetic treatments. Let your practitioner know if you’ve had anything recently, as your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
Post-Care
Avoid touching your face: Keep your hands off the treated area to prevent irritation or infection, especially in the first few hours.
No makeup or skincare: Avoid makeup and all skincare products (except what your practitioner provides or recommends) for at least 24 hours.
Skip active ingredients: Do not use retinoids, acids (like AHAs/BHAs), vitamin C, or exfoliants for 7 days post-treatment.
Stay out of the sun: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week. Use a high SPF once your practitioner says it’s safe to apply sunscreen again.
Avoid heat and sweating: No hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours, as heat can worsen inflammation.
Don’t pick or peel: If your skin flakes or peels, let it come off naturally. Picking can lead to scarring or infection.
Use gentle products: Stick to a mild cleanser, the aftercare recovery balm provided, and a plain moisturiser unless otherwise advised by your practitioner.
Keep skin hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support healing from the inside out.
Avoid alcohol: It can dehydrate your skin and increase inflammation, so it’s best to skip it for at least 24 hours.
Sleep on a clean pillowcase: Change your pillowcase the night of your treatment and avoid sleeping face-down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a bio-stimulator different from a dermal filler?
Dermal fillers add immediate volume while bio-stimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse work by gradually stimulating your skin to produce collagen improving volume and skin quality over time.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually over several weeks as your body produces more collagen. Final results are typically seen around eight to twelve weeks after your last session.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Bio-stimulators are ideal for clients looking for natural long lasting rejuvenation. They are especially effective for mid face volume loss, jawline definition, and skin that has lost firmness due to ageing.
