BIOSTIMULtors & regenerative skin treatments

Beautiful skin begins beneath the surface. As we age, our natural collagen production decreases, contributing to volume loss, fine lines, wrinkles, and changes in skin firmness.

At Skinique Aesthetics, we offer advanced collagen-stimulating injectables and regenerative treatments designed to support your skin’s structure, improve its appearance, and help you age beautifully

. Our approach focuses on subtle, personalized enhancements that complement your natural features.

What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable treatments that encourage your body to produce collagen, an essential protein responsible for maintaining skin structure, firmness, and support.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, which primarily add volume directly, biostimulatory injectables also encourage a gradual biological response that can improve the appearance of aging skin over time.

At Skinique, our treatment options include Sculptra and Radiesse, along with PDGF-BB growth factor therapy as part of our regenerative skin treatment offerings.

Each works differently, allowing us to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your unique skin concerns and aesthetic goals.

MEET OUR TREATMENTS

SCULPTRA

Gradual Collagen Stimulation & Natural-Looking Volume

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production.

Rather than simply filling an area, Sculptra gradually helps restore facial support and improve the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss.

Benefits of Sculptra

â—Ź Encourages natural collagen production

â—Ź Gradually improves the appearance of facial volume loss

â—Ź Softens the appearance of facial wrinkles

â—Ź Helps restore a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance

â—Ź Offers results that can last up to two years

How It Works

Once injected, Sculptra initiates a gradual collagen-stimulating response. As new collagen develops, the treated areas may appear smoother and fuller.

Results develop progressively over several weeks to months, making Sculptra an excellent option for patients who prefer subtle, natural-looking improvements.

What to Expect

Sculptra typically requires a series of treatments, with the number of sessions determined by your individual needs. Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness may occur.

RADIESSE

Immediate Support Meets Long-Term Collagen Stimulation

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable biostimulator formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.

Its unique formulation provides immediate structural support in appropriate treatment areas while encouraging the body’s natural collagen production over time.

Benefits of Radiesse

â—Ź Provides immediate volume and support

â—Ź Stimulates collagen production

â—Ź Improves the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds

â—Ź Helps enhance facial contour and definition

â—Ź Can improve skin quality and firmness over time

How It Works

Radiesse provides an immediate volumizing effect through its gel carrier. Over time, the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres act as a scaffold that supports collagen formation.

This dual action makes Radiesse a versatile treatment for patients seeking both immediate correction and longer-term skin rejuvenation.

What to Expect

Some improvements may be visible immediately, with additional collagen-related changes developing gradually. Treatment areas and product formulations are selected based on your anatomy and goals.

Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness may occur.


Which Treatment Is Right for You?

Your skin is unique, and your treatment should be too.

Sculptra may be ideal if your primary goal is gradual collagen stimulation and improvement in facial volume and wrinkles.

Radiesse may be recommended when you want immediate structural support combined with collagen stimulation.

PDGF-BB may be considered when your treatment plan focuses on skin renewal and regenerative skincare support.

Depending on your needs, your provider may recommend one treatment or a combination of approaches.


PDGF-BB

Advanced Growth Factor Technology for Skin Regeneration

PDGF-BB stands for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB, a naturally occurring signaling protein involved in tissue repair and regeneration.

In aesthetic medicine, PDGF-BB-based products are used in certain regenerative skincare protocols to support the skin’s natural renewal processes.

Unlike Sculptra and Radiesse, PDGF-BB is a growth factor rather than a traditional injectable collagen biostimulator.

Potential Benefits of PDGF-BB-Based Skincare

â—Ź Supports processes involved in skin renewal

â—Ź Plays a role in cellular communication and tissue repair

â—Ź May complement selected professional skin treatments

â—Ź Offers an additional option within a personalized regenerative skincare plan

How It Works

PDGF-BB participates in the biological signaling processes associated with tissue repair, including pathways involving fibroblasts and the skin’s extracellular matrix.

Its role in aesthetic skincare depends on the specific formulation, delivery method, and treatment protocol. Clinical evidence for cosmetic outcomes is still developing.

What to Expect

Your provider will explain how the specific PDGF-BB product is incorporated into your treatment plan, what benefits may reasonably be expected, and whether it is appropriate for your skin.

FAQs

  • Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Sculptra injections. The procedure involves using fine needles, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce any potential pain. Patients usually describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure.

  • Sculptra is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, and prolonged sun exposure for a few days following the treatment to ensure optimal results.

  • Sculptra results are long-lasting. Initial results can be seen within a month, with continued improvements as collagen production increases over 6 months. The effects of Sculptra can last up to 2 years, but this varies based on individual factors such as metabolism and skin type.

  • Sculptra is considered safe and well-tolerated. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites.

Our experienced practitioners will discuss potential risks and side effects with you during your consultation.
