FAQs
What are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that work differently than traditional dermal fillers. Instead of simply adding volume, they stimulate your body’s own collagen production for gradual, natural-looking results that improve over time. At Transformations Aesthetics, we offer two leading options: Sculptra® and Radiesse®.
We offer a variety of Biostimulators at Transformations Aesthetics in Asbury Lake, FL to increase collagen production:
- Sculptra® – Sculptra is an injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production. It’s ideal for restoring facial volume and improving skin texture gradually.
- Radiesse® – Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) based injectable that provides immediate volume while also stimulating collagen production. It’s FDA-approved for facial rejuvenation and for improving the appearance of aging hands.
