Your Guide To Sculptra & Radiesse: Collagen-Stimulating Fillers

Enhance your natural look from within.

At Beauty Bar by Kristina Ruggerio, we offer advanced collagen- stimulating treatments- Sculptra and Radiesse- to help restore facial volume, improve skin texture, and support long-term rejuvenation. These injectables don’t just fill lines; they help your skin rebuild its own collagen for results that look natural and last longer.

What is Sculptra & Radiesse?

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane or Juvéderm, Sculptra and Radiesse are biostimulatory injectables.

They work beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production, gradually restoring volume and firmness over time.

  • Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)- a biocompatible substance that helps your body rebuild collagen gradually, creating a subtle, youthful lift that lasts up to 2 years or more.

  • Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which provide immediate volume and also stimulate collagen for long-term improvement, typically lasting 12-18 months.

Common Treatment Areas:

  • Lips

  • Cheeks and Midface

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

  • Marionette line (corners of the mouth)

  • Chin and Jawline contouring

  • Tear troughs (under-eye hollows)

  • Hands (volume restoration)

Benefits:

  • Instantly visible, natural-looking results

  • Restores youthful volume and definition

  • Non-Surgical minimally invasive

  • Little to no downtime

  • Long-lasting results- typically 6-18 months, depending on product and area

Results & Longevity

  • Results are visible immediately and continue to improve as swelling decreases. Depending on the filler type and area treated, results last 6-18 months. Touch-ups may be recommended to maintain your desired look.

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a one-on-one consultation to discuss your goals and treatment areas.

A topical numbing cream is applied before the injections for comfort, and most clients find the treatment quick and tolerable - usually 30-45 minutes.

Aftercare tips:

  • Avoid alcohol and strenuous activity for 24 hours

  • Do not massage or apply pressure to the treated area

  • Sleep on your back and keep your head elevated for the first night

  • Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and tanning for 48 hours

Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically subsides within a few days.

Safety & Possible Side Effects

These treatments are FDA - approved and considered very safe when performed by trained professionals.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, or bruising at the injection site are the most common side effects.
