Biostimulators in Orlando, Florida

How Biostimulators Differ from Fillers

Traditional dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid or similar substances to immediately restore lost volume. They’re excellent for specific areas but gradually dissolve over 6-12 Months.

Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse take a different approach. They contain biocompatible microspheres that stimulate your body’s collagen production over several weeks. The treatment works subtly and builds natural volume and improving skin texture as your own collagen develops. Results emerge gradually and can last two years or Longer.

Fillers provide temporary volume correction, while biostimulators create lasting structural improvement by rebuilding your skin's collagen foundation from within. For patients seeking natural, long-term facial rejuvenation in Orlando, biostimulators often provide superior results and better value over time. However, some aesthetic concerns benefit from combining both approaches. During your consultation, Dr. Spence will evaluate your facial anatomy and goals to recommend whether biostimulators, fillers, or a customized combination will deliver your ideal outcome.

Biostimulator Types

Sculptra vs. Radiesse: Which Is Right for You?

At Hillcrest Plastic Surgery, we offer the two most trusted biostimulators on the market. Each has unique properties that make it ideal for different aesthetic goals.

Sculptra (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used in medical devices for decades. It's particularly effective for:

• Restoring facial volume lost due to aging
• Addressing deep folds and wrinkles
• Treating facial lipoatrophy (fat loss in the face)
• Creating subtle, gradual improvements over time

Results from Sculptra develop over 2-3 months as your body gradually produces new collagen. Most patients require 2-3 treatment sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with results lasting up to 2 years or more.

Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)

Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It provides both immediate volume correction and long-term collagen stimulation. Radiesse excels at:

• Restoring volume to cheeks and midface
• Correcting deep lines and wrinkles
• Hand rejuvenation (reducing visible veins and tendons)
• Improving jawline definition

Unlike Sculptra, Radiesse provides immediate visible results while continuing to work beneath the surface. The gel carrier gives instant correction, while the CaHA microspheres stimulate collagen production over the following months. Results typically last 12-18 months.

Which One Is Best for You?

Dr. Spence will evaluate your skin quality, facial structure, aesthetic goals, and timeline during your consultation to recommend the most suitable option. Some patients benefit from a combination approach, using both biostimulators strategically in different facial areas.

Treatment Areas

Areas We Can Enhance with Biostimulators

Biostimulators can be strategically placed throughout the face and body to address multiple signs of aging:

• Cheeks: Restore volume and contour to sunken or flattened cheeks, creating a lifted, youthful appearance.
• Temples: Address hollowing in the temple area that can create a gaunt or aged appearance.
• Jawline: Improve definition and contour along the jawline, reducing jowling and creating a more sculpted profile.
