Collagen Stimulators

Radiesse and Sculptra are grouped here as collagen stimulators. Their questions fall into what the product is, where it goes, and what comes after.

Cleveland Clinic describes Radiesse as a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that stimulates collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Where they are used

What comes after

These are the questions closest to the line, since they deal with how long you wait and what you should expect to see.

Evidence behind the questions

Two published papers sit behind several of these. One is a systematic review of controlled clinical trials of calcium hydroxylapatite and aesthetic outcomes. The other is a global expert consensus on calcium hydroxylapatite for buttock augmentation.

A planning question can wait. A change that worries you after an injection cannot. Whether you are in Mamaroneck, Larchmont or elsewhere in Westchester, contact the clinician who treated you when something looks wrong.
