BIOSTIMULATORS
In addition to hyaluronic acid filler for facial balancing and restoration, we offer additional injectable treatments including Radiesse, Sculptra, PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin), EZ Gel or stem cell derived exosome injections.

Sculptra (injectable poly-L-lactic acid) was initially FDA approved in 2004 for facial wasting associated with HIV, and was so effective that it was FDA approved for aesthetic purposes in 2009. The poly-L-lactic acid molecules in Sculptra create an inflammatory response causing the body to stimulate valuable type 1 collagen reinforcing the skin’s inner structure and helping to restore volume loss.
We love sculptra for our patients that have hollowing but don’t need more volume in the midface and cheeks. Sculptra has a soft, subtle filling effect while smoothing the transitions in the face. It also makes the skin look dewy!
Our favorite areas to treat are the midface + under eyes, temples, preauricular and buccal area. We also use sculptra in the thighs and buttocks to decrease the appearance of cellulite and lift and reshape the booty! Best results usually take 2-3 treatments spaced 8 weeks apart.

Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite ) + mechanism of action, areas pop to treat eg jawline + HD for neck bands and chest
Radiesse is used to treat moderate to severe folds and wrinkles and to provide immediate volume restoration. Because of its calcium composition, it is great for simulating bony structures such as on the jawline and lateral cheeks, and is much longer lasting than HA fillers.

Hyperdilute radiesse is a biostimulatory option ideal for skin texture and quality rather than volume. When injected, it causes collagen restoration helping with fine lines and crepey skin in places like the neck, decollate, and knees. This minimally invasive treatment has little downtime and yields excellent results. Best results take 2-3 treatments spaced 8 weeks apart.

PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) acts as a growth factor and adds an extra boost for collagen formation, improving the skin’s texture, tone and clarity. PRF is taken from your own blood so when you arrive at the office for your treatment, we take one vial of blood from your arm. Next, the blood is placed inside a centrifuge specially designed to separate PRF from other blood components. After spinning, the PRF is harvested from the top of the vial into a syringe where it is then placed on the skin topically, such as after microneedling, or injected into the dermis. Injecting PRF can help reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation in the skin. This is a popular treatment with our pregnant patients, as we are using and injecting parts of your own blood!

Exosomes are a stem cell-derived serum responsible for cell to cell communication and for facilitating the exchange of RNA and other important proteins between cells. Exosomes include potent growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids and vitamins and are a safe and effective way to repair and achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
They can be incorporated immediately post treatment to:
Facilitate the healing and regenerative process post-treatment
Visibly make skin appear firmer and more youthful
Visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Hydrate and nourish skin
Reduce the appearance of aging related pigment
Help decrease hyperpigmenation
Promote a more radiant and even toned complexion

EZ Gel plasma filler is made using your own blood and special tubes containing serum albumin. After your blood is collected, the tubes are spun in a special centrifuge, and then heated and cooled in a very controlled and specific way- resulting in a 100% natural, regenerative and volumizing filler that contains both serum albumin and growth factors! Using the body’s own powerful proteins, instead of relying on artificial components, plasma filler is a prime treatment for skin rejuvenation and volumization. We love EZ Gel for patients with hyperpigmentation and hollowing under the eyes- and for acne scars!
