Injectable Biostimulators Seattle

Rebuild Collagen. Restore Your Natural Contours.

Radiesse and Sculptra activate your skin's own collagen production for gradual, long-lasting rejuvenation. Collagen production declines as early as your late 20s, losing 1% per year, contributing to sagging and volume loss.

Radiesse (CaHA) provides immediate lift and progressive collagen remodeling (12-18 months).

Sculptra (PLLA) works deep within the skin for deep collagen restoration lasting 2+ years.

Both treatments gradually restore structure and elasticity for a soft, refreshed appearance.

RADIESSE®

Immediate lift + long-term collagen stimulation

Radiesse is a biostimulatory filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. It delivers two-in-one results: instant structural lift and volume, followed by progressive collagen remodeling over several months for lasting improvement.

How It Works:

Provides immediate lift and structural support
CaHA microspheres stimulate natural collagen production
Gel carrier integrates naturally with surrounding tissue
Ideal for cheeks, jawline, chin, and hands

Key Benefits

Immediate volume correction — results same day
Gradual, natural-looking collagen growth
Long-lasting results: 12–18 months
Versatile — treats face and body areas

Potential Side Effects:

Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites is common and typically resolves within days. Rarely, small lumps or temporary firmness may occur, usually resolving within a few weeks. A skilled injector minimizes these risks.

SCULPTRA®

Deep collagen restoration - gradual and natural

Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and fully biodegradable material that works deep within the skin to gradually stimulate collagen production. Results develop subtly over 2–4 months, giving a soft, refreshed appearance rather than an obvious "done" look.

Key Benefits:

Long-term rejuvenation lasting 2+ years
Natural, subtle contour and texture improvement
Ideal for clients seeking gradual restoration
Non-permanent, biocompatible material

Potential Side Effects:

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur. Small nodules can sometimes form under the skin but generally resolve with gentle massage over time. Using a skilled injector and following post-care instructions (including regular massage) significantly minimizes risk. Oral Arnica can help reduce bruising.

How It Works:

PLLA microparticles stimulate collagen synthesis over time
Corrects volume loss in cheeks, temples, and jawline
Typically requires a series of 2–3 treatments
Fully biodegradable — no permanent material remains

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who is a good candidate for injectable biostimulators?

Anyone experiencing age-related volume loss, sagging, or thinning skin can benefit. Biostimulators are ideal for clients seeking gradual, natural collagen restoration rather than immediate dramatic plumping. A consultation will confirm whether Radiesse, Sculptra, or a combination is best for your goals.

When will I see results?

Radiesse delivers immediate lift with progressive improvement as collagen builds over 2–3 months. Sculptra works gradually over 2–4 months, with full results appearing after a series of treatments. We recommend yearly touch-ups for long-term maintenance.

How long do results last?

Radiesse typically lasts 12–18 months depending on the area treated. Sculptra results can last 2 years or more after completing the full treatment series.

Can biostimulators be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Biostimulators pair beautifully with wrinkle relaxers (neuromodulators), traditional dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and skin-tightening procedures for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan tailored to your needs.

What is the difference between a biostimulator and a traditional filler?

Traditional dermal fillers (like hyaluronic acid) physically fill areas to create immediate volume, which gradually dissolves. Biostimulators go a step further — they also trigger your body to produce its own new collagen, so results build and improve over time rather than just filling space.

Great care and attention to detail with thorough explanations of the treatments. She is so kind and understanding of what we are going through with the changes in the aging facial skin. Glad to be in good hands.

Jennifer G.

I love Dr. Des! She handled all of my skin wedding prep with a uniquely tailored plan to have me looking and feeling my best! She’s definitely my go-to in West Seattle!

Samantha S.

Dr. Des and her team make me feel so good every single visit - welcoming, supportive, and never pushy. After a consultation, Dr. Des steered me toward Radiesse over what I originally wanted. Less expensive, immediate results, and I'm obsessed with how natural and refreshed I look. The focus is always on enhancing your features, not changing them. Cannot recommend Seattle Beauty enough.
