As we age, it’s not just volume we lose — it’s structure. Over time, collagen production slows, skin becomes thinner, and the underlying support that once kept the face firm and lifted gradually declines. This loss of collagen can lead to skin laxity, hollowing, facial sagging, deeper folds, and an overall tired or aged appearance.
While traditional dermal fillers restore volume by physically filling an area, biostimulators work differently. These advanced injectable treatments stimulate your body’s own collagen production, helping rebuild structure gradually and naturally over time.
At Gióva Aesthetics + Wellness, we use regenerative and collagen-stimulating injectables like Sculptra and Radiesse to restore support beneath the skin while maintaining natural facial movement and expression. The result is softer aging, improved skin quality, and subtle rejuvenation that never looks overdone.
Biostimulators are ideal for clients looking for long-term rejuvenation, structural support, and collagen restoration—not just temporary correction.
Interested in biostimulators? Our experienced providers will create a customized treatment plan designed around your facial anatomy, skin quality, and long-term goals. Schedule your consultation to learn whether collagen stimulation is the right approach for you.
Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. Rather than simply filling an area, these products encourage the body to rebuild structural support naturally over time.
Collagen is one of the most important proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and youthful structure. Beginning as early as our 20s, collagen production decreases steadily each year. This gradual decline contributes to:
Biostimulators work beneath the surface to improve these changes gradually and naturally.
At Gióva, we often use biostimulators as part of a comprehensive aging strategy—not simply to “fill,” but to rebuild and support the skin over time.
Sculptra vs Radiesse: What’s the Difference?
Although both treatments stimulate collagen, they work differently and are selected based on your anatomy and goals.
Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a collagen-stimulating material that works gradually over time. It is often used for: Global facial volume loss Temples and cheeks Lower face support Skin thinning and laxity Sculptra creates subtle, progressive improvement over several months and is ideal for clients wanting long-term collagen restoration and natural rejuvenation.
Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It provides both immediate support and long-term collagen stimulation. Radiesse is commonly used for: Jawline definition Chin support Hands Deeper structural correction Hyperdilute skin tightening treatments for the neck, chest, arms, or body At Gióva, treatment selection is highly individualized. Some clients benefit more from Sculptra, while others may be better candidates for Radiesse—or a combination approach.
