Overview
What Are Collagen Stimulators?
At The Piazza Center in Austin, TX, Dr. Rocco Piazza and the practice’s advanced nurse injectors offer two collagen-stimulating injectables — Sculptra Aesthetic and Radiesse. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which simply add volume where they’re placed, these treatments work by prompting your own body to produce new collagen and elastin, gradually rebuilding the skin’s inner structure for a longer-lasting improvement.

At a Glance
Sculptra vs. Radiesse
Sculptra Aesthetic
- Active ingredient: poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)
- Treats cheeks, temples, jawline & midface volume loss
- Typically 3 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart
- Gradual results, visible around 3 months; can last up to 2 years
Radiesse
- Active ingredient: calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
- Treats deep facial wrinkles, volume loss & hands
- Single in-office treatment session
- Immediate volume plus cumulative collagen results; touch-ups typically recommended every other year
Why Choose a Collagen Stimulator
Results that build
from within.
Both Sculptra and Radiesse work with your body’s own biology rather than simply filling space — rebuilding lost collagen for an improvement that develops naturally and holds up well after it arrives.
- 01
Natural Collagen Renewal
Both treatments stimulate your own body to produce new collagen and elastin, rather than only adding volume at the surface.
- 02
Two Approaches, One Goal
Sculptra builds volume gradually across a series of sessions; Radiesse provides immediate correction that continues improving as collagen forms.
- 03
Long-Lasting Results
Because they work by rebuilding your own collagen, results from both treatments can last well beyond typical hyaluronic acid fillers.
Investment
Cost & financing.
Pricing depends on which collagen stimulator you choose, along with the number of vials or sessions needed to reach your goals. Dr. Piazza will assess your needs and provide an accurate quote at your consultation, and financing is available through CareCredit®.
Results
What to Expect
Because Sculptra and Radiesse work by rebuilding your own collagen rather than only adding surface volume, results unfold differently depending on which treatment you choose. Radiesse offers noticeable correction right away that continues to improve as new collagen forms, while Sculptra’s results build gradually across your treatment series, typically becoming visible around 3 months after your final session.
Dr. Piazza will help determine which collagen stimulator — or combination of treatments — best fits your facial structure and goals during your consultation.
