Collagen Biostimulators
Juvelook
Collagen-Stimulating Biostimulator
Juvelook is a Korean-developed injectable biostimulator that works below the skin's surface to stimulate the body's own collagen production. Formulated with PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) microspheres combined with PDRN, Juvelook triggers a gradual regenerative response — rebuilding skin structure and improving firmness, elasticity, and overall quality over time, rather than delivering instant volume.
As collagen synthesis builds over the following weeks, patients typically notice skin that looks healthier, firmer, and more resilient, with results that continue to improve gradually and last well beyond treatments that rely on hyaluronic acid alone.
Where Juvelook can be used
-
Under-eyes — softening the look of tired, hollow, or crepey under-eye skin by improving texture and skin quality in this delicate area
-
Cheeks — restoring firmness and a healthy, lifted quality to the mid-face as collagen rebuilds
-
Temples — addressing hollowing and thinning skin often associated with early facial aging
-
Smile lines (nasolabial folds) — improving skin quality and softening the appearance of these lines from within, as part of a natural, gradual refresh
What to expect
-
Minimal downtime, with mild swelling or small bumps possible for a few days
-
Gradual, natural-looking improvement as new collagen builds — visible results often take several weeks to appear
-
A course of 2–3 sessions typically recommended, spaced several weeks apart, for full effect
-
Results that can last significantly longer than traditional fillers due to the underlying collagen rebuild
Sculptra
Poly-L-Lactic Acid Collagen Stimulator
Sculptra is an injectable biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that works gradually beneath the skin to stimulate the body's own collagen production. Rather than providing immediate volume, Sculptra works over time — rebuilding the skin's structural foundation for a natural, gradual improvement in fullness, firmness, and overall facial contour.
Results build slowly as new collagen forms, typically becoming noticeable over several weeks to months, with improvements that can last up to two years or more — making it one of the longest-lasting options in the biostimulator category.
Where Sculptra can be used
-
Face — cheeks, temples, and lower face to restore lost volume and improve overall facial structure
-
Body — see our Body tab for full details on body treatment areas (buttocks, thighs, and other areas benefiting from collagen stimulation)
What to expect
-
A series of injections, often diluted and administered across multiple sessions
-
Minimal downtime, though temporary swelling or small bumps at injection sites can occur
-
Gradual results as collagen builds — visible improvement typically takes several weeks to months
-
A course of 2–3 sessions usually recommended, spaced several weeks apart
-
Long-lasting results, often up to 2+ years

Radiesse
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Biostimulator
Radiesse is an injectable biostimulator made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It works in two ways: providing immediate volume and lift on injection, then stimulating the body's own collagen production over time for longer-lasting structural improvement.
This dual-action approach makes Radiesse a versatile option for patients looking for both an immediate visible result and gradual, natural-looking improvement in skin firmness and texture as collagen rebuilds underneath.
Where Radiesse can be used
-
Face — cheeks, jawline, and other areas needing volume and contour
-
Neck — improving skin firmness and texture
-
Hands — restoring volume and smoothing the look of prominent veins and tendons
What to expect
-
Immediate visible volume at the time of injection
-
Continued, gradual improvement in skin quality as collagen builds over following weeks
-
Minimal downtime, with mild swelling or bruising possible at injection sites
-
Results typically lasting 12–15 months or longer, depending on treatment area

As always, a complimentary consultation is available to determine if Radiesse is the right fit for your goals.
