Biostimulators (Bellafill, Sculptra, Radiesse)
Southlake & DFW Area
What Are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are FDA approved injectables treatments that are injected to stimulate collagen production to restore facial volume very naturally.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide instant volume, Sculptra works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production to restore lost volume and improve skin texture gradually over time.
Types of Dermal Fillers We Offer:
Bellafill®
- A semi-permanent filler made of collagen and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres
- Provides immediate volume while stimulating long-term collagen production
- Lasts up to 5 years, making it one of the longest-lasting injectables
- Great for deep wrinkles, acne scars, and facial contouring
Sculptra®
- Made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates natural collagen production
- Improves skin firmness, elasticity, and volume over time
- Typically requires a series of treatments for optimal results
- Results last 2–3 years
- Commonly used for cheeks, temples, jawline, and non-surgical butt lift
Radiesse®
- Made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel that instantly adds volume while stimulating natural collagen production over time.

- Provides immediate contouring and lifting, with results that last 12–18 months.
