Sculptra® and Radiesse®
What Are Sculptra® and Radiesse®?
Some treatments fill. Sculptra® and Radiesse® do something different. Instead of placing volume directly into the face, they work by stimulating your body to produce more of what it has been losing over time. Collagen. Structure. Support from within.
At Longevity Lab & Aesthetics, these treatments appeal to people who are thinking about their skin and their face in terms of the long game. The results take longer to appear, but what you end up with is something your body has built rather than something that has been placed inside it.

Treatment Areas
Sculptra® and Radiesse® are best suited for areas where gradual volume loss or structural weakening calls for a deeper, longer-lasting response.
Cheeks and Midface
Both products work well here to restore the fullness and lift that supports the rest of the face.
Temples
Hollowing in this area can age the face significantly. Rebuilding volume here improves overall facial balance.
Jawline and Lower Face
Radiesse® in particular works well along the jaw to restore definition and improve the contour of the lower face.
Hands
Sculptra® and Radiesse® can both be used on the backs of the hands to restore a fuller, smoother appearance as fat and collagen thins with age.
Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
Rather than simply filling these lines, both products address the underlying loss of support that causes them to deepen over time.
Why It Works
Because both products work by encouraging your body to respond rather than simply filling a space, the results tend to feel more integrated and last considerably longer than traditional fillers.
Your body does the building.
Both products stimulate collagen production, so results feel like your own skin improving rather than something added.
Results develop gradually.
Changes appear over weeks and months, which means nothing looks sudden or overdone.
Longer lasting.
Results from Sculptra® can last up to two years or more. Radiesse® typically lasts 12 to 18 months.
Addresses the root cause.
Rather than masking volume loss, these treatments encourage the skin to rebuild its own support.
Works well as part of a long-term plan.
For people focused on aging well over time, both treatments fit naturally into a consistent wellness approach.
Is This Right for You?
Sculptra® and Radiesse® tend to appeal to people who are thinking ahead. You may be a good fit if:
You are noticing a gradual loss of volume, structure, or skin quality, and want to address it from within
You prefer results that develop slowly and look entirely natural
You are interested in longer-lasting options that go beyond traditional fillers
You want a treatment that works with your body rather than around it
You are in good general health and not pregnant or nursing
What To Expect
Patience is part of what makes Sculptra® and Radiesse® work so well. Because both products stimulate your body rather than fill it, results appear gradually over several weeks and months.
With Sculptra®, most people need a series of two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart. Improvement becomes visible over two to three months and can last up to two years or longer. Radiesse® produces some immediate volume, with collagen stimulation continuing to improve the area over the following months.

Before Your Appointment
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for 24 to 48 hours beforehand. Come with clean skin and no makeup near the treatment area.
After Your Appointment
Massage of the treated area may be recommended depending on the product used. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to do. Avoid intense exercise and heat for 24 hours. Some swelling, redness, or tenderness is normal and fades within a few days.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Sculptra® and Radiesse®?
Both stimulate collagen, but they work slightly differently. Sculptra® injection is made from poly-L-lactic acid and works gradually over several sessions. Radiesse® is made from calcium-based microspheres and provides some immediate volume alongside its collagen-stimulating effects. Your provider will help you decide which is the better fit.
How many sessions will I need?
Sculptra® typically requires two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Radiesse® can often achieve good results in one or two sessions, depending on the area and your goals.
When will I see results?
Sculptra® results develop over two to three months as collagen builds gradually. Radiesse® provides some immediate improvement, with continued improvement over the following weeks and months.
Are these the same as regular fillers?
No. Traditional fillers add volume directly. Sculptra® and Radiesse® work by encouraging your body to produce collagen, so the volume you gain comes from your own biology rather than a product sitting under the skin.
How long do results last?
Sculptra® treatment results can last up to two years or more. Radiesse® typically lasts between 12 and 18 months. Both tend to outlast traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
