Collagen Stimulators

Build, don't fill — collagen restored from within.

Sculptra and Radiesse don't just add volume — they signal your skin to make its own collagen for a result that builds gradually and lasts for years.

Collagen Stimulators treatment at Tulua Medical

— Understanding

The science
behind it.

Collagen is the protein that keeps skin firm, lifted and bouncy. We start losing it in our mid-twenties at about 1% per year. Collagen stimulators are a category of injectable that work differently from traditional fillers: instead of replacing volume directly, they trigger your fibroblasts to produce new collagen over the following months.

Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is ideal for global volume restoration of the cheeks, temples and lower face — results build over 3–6 months and last 2+ years. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) gives more immediate lift plus collagen stimulation, perfect for jawline, hands and neck. Both can also be diluted as 'hyperdilute' biostimulator boosters for full-face skin tightening.

Because results build slowly, collagen stimulators are exceptional for patients who want change no one can date. Your face simply looks more lifted, fuller and more youthful month after month — without an obvious reset.

— Questions

Frequently
asked.

Don't see your question? Bring it to your complimentary consultation — we love the curious ones.

How is this different from filler?
Filler adds volume directly with HA. Biostimulators trigger your body to make new collagen — so the volume is your own tissue, not product.
How long do results last?
Sculptra: 2–3 years. Radiesse: 12–18 months.
Will I see results immediately?
There's some immediate volume from the injection itself, but the real results develop slowly over 3–6 months as collagen builds.
