Frequently asked questions
Sculptra is based on poly-L-lactic acid and is used for gradual collagen support. RADIESSE contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel carrier and can provide structural support while stimulating regenerative activity. Dr Varma will explain which approach better fits your goals.
The number depends on the areas treated and your starting point. Two vials are often used as part of a plan, but Dr Varma will recommend the amount after assessment.

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.
