FAQS
FDA-approved Sculptra® Aesthetic is an injectable filler explicitly designed to address volume loss in your face. The active ingredient in Sculptra® is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable material that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production.
Radiesse® is a dermal filler containing calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. It adds volume and support to the skin, primarily for facial contouring and wrinkle reduction. Radiesse effects typically last from 12 to 18 months, depending on the individual and the area treated.
HA fillers provide immediate volume and smoothing effects, directly filling the space where they are injected. The HA molecules attract and retain water, giving the skin a plump, hydrated appearance. The effects of HA fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the area treated. The body gradually absorbs the filler over time. Biostimulators work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. They do not provide immediate volume but progressively improve skin texture and firmness as collagen is produced over time. The effects of biostimulators can last longer than HA fillers, often between 1 to 2 years or more, as they build new collagen and improve skin quality over time.
Sculptra® can last up to 2 years, with maintenance treatments potentially extending the results further. Radiesse® typically lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the individual and the treatment area.
The number of Sculptra® and Radiesse® treatments depends on several factors: initial goals, maintenance, treatment area, personal factors, and desired results. A consultation with a highly qualified practitioner at Ehden Medical Aesthetics will help determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on your exact needs and goals.
Most individuals can resume their daily activities instantly after the procedure. Minor side effects such as mild swelling or bruising are short-lived and can be managed with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relief.
Swelling, slight redness, and bruising at the injection sites usually resolve within a few days. Rare side effects include lumps or nodules under the skin, which are generally treatable.
Patients are oriented to massage the treated areas several times daily to help distribute the product evenly and prevent lumps.
Sculptra® often requires a series of treatments (usually 2-4) sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. Radiesse® often requires a follow-up appointment about two weeks after the treatment to assess the results, address any concerns, and possibly perform necessary touch-ups.
