Sculptra is an FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable that is a collagen stimulator. Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. Collagen is the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support cells and tissues. Collagen is lost each year as we age past our 20’s. This will help rebuild the underlying structure and collagen in the skin over time.

Radiesse:
Radiesse® is a unique biostimulatory filler designed to smooth moderate to severe wrinkles, restore volume, and improve skin quality from within. Unlike traditional fillers, Radiesse is formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which not only provide immediate lift but also stimulate your body’s natural collagen production over time.
This dual-action treatment is ideal for restoring structure and definition to areas like the cheeks, jawline, and hands, while also enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Radiesse can also be hyperdiluted and used as a skin rejuvenation treatment for crepey skin on the neck, décolletage, arms, and beyond.
PRX Derm:

It helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation while giving the skin a brighter, smoother appearance. It can also be added to your next micro needling session for enhanced results and glowing skin.
