Dermal Fillers
Instant lift, contour, and definition.
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA)–based smooth gels that add immediate volume to areas where aging, genetics, or facial structure call for a little support. These fillers create soft, natural-looking enhancement with little to no downtime.

Biostimulators (Sculptra & Radiesse)
Long-lasting collagen stimulation for natural rejuvenation.
Biostimulators work differently from traditional fillers. Instead of adding volume instantly, they stimulate your body to produce fresh collagen—improving structure, firmness, and overall skin quality gradually and naturally.
What Biostimulators Treat
- Facial volume loss
- Skin laxity
- Hollow temples
- Cheeks
- Jawline definition
- Crepey or thinning skin (face, neck, chest, body)
Benefits of Sculptra & Radiesse
- Stimulate your body’s natural collagen production
- Subtle, progressive improvements over time
- Strengthen and thicken the skin
- Long-lasting results
- Perfect for those wanting a refreshed appearance without looking “filled”
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
- Choose Dermal Fillers for immediate lift, shape, and contour
- Choose Biostimulators for gradual, long-lasting, collagen-stimulating results
- Many patients benefit from a combination approach for the most natural outcome
Our Philosophy
At Fletcher Aesthetics, every injectable treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and natural beauty. Our focus is always on subtle, balanced results—enhancing your confidence while keeping you looking like the most refreshed version of yourself.
Radiesse vs Sculptra: Understanding the Difference
Patients who are exploring facial rejuvenation and collagen stimulating injectables often come across two highly regarded options: Radiesse and Sculptra. Both treatments help restore volume and support the skin from within, but they work in different ways and are best suited for different goals.
Choosing between Radiesse and Sculptra depends on factors such as where volume loss is present, how quickly you would like to see results, and how long you want those results to last. The information below will help you understand how each treatment works so you can make a confident and informed decision in partnership with your provider.
What Are Radiesse and Sculptra?
Radiesse and Sculptra are biostimulatory injectables that help improve facial volume, texture, and elasticity by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Both are FDA approved and intended for facial rejuvenation, but they do not behave like traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. Instead, they encourage the body to gradually rebuild structural support beneath the skin.
Understanding how each product works will help determine which treatment aligns more closely with your goals and treatment timeline.
How Radiesse Works
Radiesse is made with calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. Once injected, it provides immediate structural support and volume while also stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin over time.
Because Radiesse delivers both instant lift and long term rejuvenation, it is commonly used in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, and smile lines. It can also be used to restore volume and smoothness to the hands.
Over time, the gel gradually dissolves while the collagen foundation it creates continues to support the skin.
Benefits of Radiesse
- Immediate lifting and contouring effect
- Improves firmness by stimulating collagen and elastin
- Provides structure and definition in key facial areas
- FDA approved for facial wrinkles and hand volume loss
- Long lasting improvement with fewer maintenance sessions compared to many traditional fillers
Radiesse may also be used in a hyperdilute form to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality in areas with laxity.
How Sculptra Works
Sculptra is a collagen stimulating injectable made with poly L lactic acid. Instead of creating instant fullness, it works gradually beneath the surface of the skin to encourage natural collagen production.
As the body develops new collagen over several months, the skin becomes firmer, fuller, and more supported. This creates a soft and natural result that develops slowly, making changes appear more subtle and organic.
Sculptra is often chosen for overall facial rejuvenation, especially in areas where there is more generalized volume loss.
Benefits of Sculptra
- Gradual and natural appearing improvement
- Restores structure and firmness from within
- Enhances fullness in areas such as the cheeks and temples
- Helps improve thinning or aging skin
- Results develop over time and last several years when treatment series are completed
Because the results appear progressively, others may notice that you look refreshed, but not immediately recognize that you have had a cosmetic treatment.
Key Differences Between Radiesse and Sculptra
Both treatments stimulate new collagen, but they differ in how they behave and how quickly results appear.
| Feature | Radiesse | Sculptra |
|---|---|---|
| Main Ingredient | Calcium hydroxylapatite | Poly L lactic acid |
| Onset of Results | Immediate volume with ongoing collagen production | Gradual improvement over several months |
| Typical Longevity | About 12 to 18 months, sometimes longer depending on treatment plan | Often 2 years or longer following a treatment series |
| Best Uses | Cheeks, jawline, chin, smile lines, hands | Temples, cheeks, lower face, generalized volume loss |
| Treatment Approach | One to two sessions in most cases | Series of multiple sessions for optimal results |
Both products perform exceptionally well when placed by a skilled injector who tailors treatment to bone structure, tissue quality, and aesthetic goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse may be a great option for patients who want visible lift and structure right away while still benefiting from long term collagen stimulation. It is especially helpful for focused areas of volume loss or for patients who want definition and contour.
Radiesse may be ideal for individuals who:
- Prefer results that are visible immediately after treatment
- Would like support and structure in the cheeks, jawline, or smile lines
- Have mild to moderate laxity or volume loss
- Want a product that provides lift now while continuing to strengthen collagen
When applied in a diluted form, Radiesse can also help improve skin texture and firmness in areas with thinning or crepey skin.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Sculptra?
Sculptra is a good choice for patients who prefer a softer, gradual, and naturally evolving result. Rather than targeting a single focal area, Sculptra is often selected for overall facial rejuvenation and improvement in skin support.
Sculptra may be ideal for individuals who:
- Are comfortable with results that appear slowly over time
- Have more diffuse volume loss or thinning skin
- Want long lasting collagen renewal rather than instant fullness
- Prefer subtle changes that look very natural
Because collagen rebuilding takes time, consistency with scheduled treatments is important to achieve the best outcome.
