Biostimulators

Restore Volume and Boost Collagen Naturally

If you’re looking to restore youthful volume and improve your skin’s firmness over time, biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse could be the perfect solution. Dr. Irma Higginbotham offers these advanced treatments at her practices in Tuscaloosa and Hoover, AL, helping clients achieve natural-looking results with long-lasting benefits.

What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable treatments that work beneath the skin’s surface to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and stimulate collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate results, biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse deliver gradual, long-term improvements by encouraging your body’s natural collagen production.

How Do Biostimulators Differ from Dermal Fillers?

While both biostimulators and dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to address volume loss and wrinkles, they work in distinct ways. Dermal fillers, made from substances like hyaluronic acid, provide immediate volume by physically filling lines, wrinkles, and hollow areas. In contrast, biostimulators work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, which gradually improves skin texture, elasticity, and volume over time. This makes biostimulators an excellent choice for those seeking more natural and long-lasting results.

The Difference Between Sculptra, Radiesse & PRP

Sculptra

  • Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra stimulates collagen production to rebuild facial volume over time.

  • Ideal for addressing widespread volume loss, such as in the cheeks, temples, and jawline.

  • Results appear gradually, typically over a few months, and can last up to two years or longer with proper maintenance.

Radiesse

  • Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, Radiesse provides immediate volume enhancement while stimulating collagen production.

  • Especially effective for deep wrinkles, folds, and contouring areas like the hands, cheeks, and jawline.

  • Results are visible immediately and can last up to 18 months.

PRP​

  • Stimulates Natural Hair Growth – PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections use your body’s own growth factors to awaken dormant hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.

  • Strengthens and Thickens Hair – As a biostimulator, PRP improves hair density and quality by increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to the scalp.

  • Non-Surgical and Natural – PRP is a minimally invasive, drug-free treatment that harnesses your body’s healing properties for gradual, natural-looking results.
