Melonie Thompson, N.P., our experienced trainer who has instructed providers in advanced techniques for Restylane, Versa, and Sculptra, has provided a brief overview to help you determine which option best aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Classic Dermal Fillers
Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid and provide immediate volume. While these results offer "instant gratification" by physically filling areas of lost volume, they typically last between 6 to 18 months.
Biostimulators
Biostimulators, such as Sculptra or Radiesse, are composed of materials that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. This process improves both volume and skin quality over time. We typically recommend a series of three sessions spaced one month apart. While it can take three or more months to see final results, the effects of this "delayed gratification" are longer-lasting.
