Discover Sculptra at Banff Aesthetics, an advanced collagen-stimulating treatment designed to gradually restore the skin’s structural support and improve the appearance of facial volume, firmness, and wrinkles. Rather than simply adding volume, Sculptra works with your body’s natural processes to stimulate collagen production, creating subtle, progressive improvements over time.
SKIN COLLAGEN STIMULATOR - SCULPTRA
Skin Collagen Stimulator - Radiesse
|
Sculptra® is an injectable collagen biostimulator made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Instead of providing the primary effect through immediate volume, Sculptra is designed to encourage your skin to produce more of its own collagen.
As collagen gradually develops, it helps rebuild the skin’s structural foundation, supporting improvements in firmness, fullness, and the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
What is Sculptra?
Sculptra may be used as part of a personalized treatment plan to address concerns associated with collagen loss and facial aging, including:
Loss of facial volume
Skin laxity and reduced firmness
Fine lines and wrinkles
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Cheek volume loss
Overall facial rejuvenation

Sculptra takes the longest time. You'll see gradual improvement over 8-12 weeks as your body builds new collagen. This slow transformation means no one will notice sudden changes, instead, people will comment that you look refreshed and naturally fuller.

|FAQs
What Patients Frequently Ask us
-
Before treatment, your provider will evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. The treatment area is cleansed, and Radiesse is carefully injected using an individualized technique.
Treatment time varies depending on the areas being treated but is generally relatively brief. Some patients notice an improvement immediately, while the collagen-stimulating effects develop progressively over the following weeks and months.
-
Radiesse typically lasts 12-18+ months. The calcium hydroxylapatite spheres provide structure while your body absorbs them over time, triggering ongoing collagen. Touch-ups are usually needed once yearly.
-
Radiesse is a minimally invasive injectable treatment, so downtime is generally limited. Temporary effects such as swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, or firmness at the injection sites can occur.
Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions and advise you on activities or products to avoid immediately following treatment.
-
It's not about one being "better”, they serve different purposes and work in completely different ways.
Fillers are immediate volume replacements. They fill spaces directly, providing instant results. You see changes right away, making them perfect for special events or those who want quick gratification. However, they don't stimulate your body's own collagen, so results are temporary (6-18 months depending on type).
Collagen Stimulators work by triggering your body's natural collagen production. They rebuild your skin's structural foundation from within, creating more natural, long-lasting results. You invest in your skin's future rather than just filling current gaps. The trade-off is patience, results take longer to appear.
