Biostimulators (Radiesse, Sculptra)
Injectable Biostimulators in Seattle, WA
Restore volume, improve skin texture, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production with injectable biostimulators. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply fill lines, biostimulators work over time to encourage your skin to rebuild its own collagen, improving firmness, elasticity, and youthful contours.
When Do We Start to Lose Collagen?
Collagen production naturally declines as early as your late 20s to early 30s, accelerating in your 40s and beyond. Once the decline begins, we end up losing 1% of our collagen per year. This contributes to sagging, volume loss, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Injectable biostimulators help replenish what time and lifestyle take away — gradually restoring structure and elasticity.
RADIESSE®

SCULPTRA®
Stimulate your own collagen for gradual, natural rejuvenation
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that triggers your skin to produce collagen over several months. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works subtly and gradually, giving soft, natural results that improve over time.
How it works
- Stimulates the skin’s collagen production over 2–4 months
- Corrects volume loss in cheeks, temples, jawline, and more
- Best suited for clients looking for gradual, natural restoration rather than immediate dramatic changes
Benefits
- Long-term facial rejuvenation (results can last 2 years or more)
- Natural, subtle improvement in contour and texture

Potential side effects
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur. Tiny nodules or bumps can sometimes form under the skin but generally resolve with gentle massage or over time. Using a skilled injector minimizes risk. Oral Arnica can reduce the risk of bruising.
