About the treatment
A plan shaped around you
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that work with the skin’s own regenerative processes. Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid to support gradual collagen production, while RADIESSE uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres within a gel carrier. Dr Varma will recommend the most suitable option and placement after assessing your facial structure, skin quality and preferred pace of change.
