Biostimulators - Radiesse and Sculptra

At Mira Med Spa, we believe that aging gracefully means celebrating your natural beauty while supporting your skin’s ability to heal, renew, and thrive. That’s why we offer advanced biostimulatory injectables - Radiesse® and Sculptra® - to help restore volume, boost collagen, and rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply add volume, biostimulators work beneath the surface to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, creating results that are subtle, long-lasting, and beautifully natural.

What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, rather than simply filling areas of lost volume. These treatments gradually improve skin tone, texture, and firmness over time, offering a more natural approach to facial rejuvenation.

Two of the most trusted and effective biostimulators available today are Radiesse and Sculptra, both of which are offered at Mira Med Spa by our skilled and certified injectors.

RADIESSE® - What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse® is a unique biostimulatory injectable made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It works immediately to add volume and structure to the treated area, while also stimulating the skin’s collagen production for continued improvement over time.

Procedure: How is Radiesse Performed?

Treatment with Radiesse is a quick, minimally invasive procedure typically performed in 30-45 minutes. After a consultation, your provider will gently inject Radiesse into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. We often apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to ensure your comfort.

Benefits of Radiesse

  • Immediate volume restoration

  • Long-term collagen stimulation

  • Natural-looking results

  • Smooths moderate to severe wrinkles and folds

  • Improves skin quality and elasticity

  • Non-surgical jawline and cheek contouring

  • Suitable for both face and hands

Common Treatment Areas

  • Cheeks

  • Jawline

  • Chin

  • Nasolabial folds

  • Marionette lines

  • Hands

Radiesse is especially popular for rejuvenating aging hands, helping to plump thinning skin and reduce the appearance of veins and tendons.

When Will I See Results and How Long Do They Last?

You’ll see immediate improvement in volume and contour, with continued collagen production enhancing your results over the next 2-3 months. On average, results last 12 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors.

Side Effects of Radiesse

Most clients experience only mild side effects, such as:

  • Redness or swelling at the injection site

  • Bruising or tenderness

  • Temporary firmness or lumps (which typically resolve)

Our skilled providers take every precaution to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

Is Radiesse Safe?

Yes. Radiesse is FDA-approved and clinically tested for safety and efficacy. It’s been used successfully in aesthetic medicine for over a decade.

How Much Does Radiesse Cost?

Costs vary depending on the number of syringes needed and treatment areas. During your consultation, we’ll create a customized plan and provide transparent pricing to fit your goals and budget.

SCULPTRA® - What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injectable made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)—a substance that has been safely used in medical treatments for decades. Unlike fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates gradual collagen growth, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most clients require a series of 2-3 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a personalized schedule based on your goals, age, and skin condition.

When Will I See Results?

Results with Sculptra develop gradually, often becoming visible within 6 to 12 weeks. The magic of Sculptra is in its subtle, progressive improvement, with final results that last up to two years or more.

What Should I Do After Treatment?

After your Sculptra session, we recommend:

  • Gently massaging the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days

  • Avoiding strenuous activity for 24-48 hours

  • Staying hydrated to support healing

Which Areas Does Sculptra Treat?

  • Cheeks

  • Temples

  • Jawline

  • Chin

  • Marionette lines

  • Buttocks (for subtle lift and contour)

Sculptra is ideal for addressing overall facial volume loss, especially for clients with thinner or aging skin.

How Soon Can I Wear Makeup?

You can typically apply makeup the day after treatment, once any minor swelling or redness subsides.

Is Sculptra Safe?

Yes. Sculptra is FDA-approved and widely regarded as a safe and effective treatment when performed by trained professionals. Side effects are usually mild and include:

  • Temporary swelling or redness

  • Mild bruising

  • Small lumps that typically resolve with massage

Who Can Inject Sculptra?

Only licensed and experienced medical professionals should administer Sculptra. At Mira Med Spa, our team is specially trained in advanced injection techniques to ensure natural, beautiful results.

How Much Does Sculptra Cost?

Pricing is based on the number of vials needed and your custom treatment plan. During your consultation, we’ll provide a tailored quote and walk you through all your options.

The Power of Collagen: Why It Matters

Collagen is the essential building block of youthful skin, responsible for firmness, elasticity, and volume. As we age, collagen production declines - leading to sagging skin, fine lines, and a loss of structure.

Biostimulators like Radiesse and Sculptra revive your body’s natural collagen production, working from within to rebuild and restore your skin over time.

  • Firmer skin

  • Improved texture

  • Enhanced facial contours

  • Long-lasting, natural rejuvenation

Combining biostimulators with other treatments, such as microneedling, neurotoxins, or medical-grade skincare, can further enhance your results and maintain your glow.

Kind Words

  • "I’ve been a loyal client at Mira for over 8 years, and I can confidently say it’s the best place to go for personalized care and attention. The staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in helping you look and feel your best. Lisa, in particular, has been a wonderful guide on my skincare journey. She is always looking out for my best interests, recommending only what I truly need and never pushing unnecessary treatments or products. I always leave my appointments with her feeling well-informed and confident in my skincare routine. Jennifer has also been fantastic in helping me fine-tune my regimen, ensuring my skin stays healthy and glowing. Kathia is the expert to see for laser hair removal! She makes the whole experience comfortable and easy. The environment at Mira is so calming and welcoming! I can’t recommend [it] here enough!"

    Brooke Brammer

  • “I was referred to Lisa from a friend prior to my wedding. Prior to seeing Lisa, I was considering filler, etc. I got started on a facial, new products, and micro needling. I changed my mind on getting the filler and love how refreshed and healthy my skin looks. I was an esthetician in my past life, so I know what to look for in a quality esthetician. Lisa is so great at what she does, and highly recommend her to anyone.”

    Denise Bloomquist Cantrell

  • "I recently had a facial/buccal lymphatic massage by Kathia. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never had one of these massage/facial before. Kathia was super informative and answered all my questions and really put me at ease. I was a little tense when I arrived but by the end of the appointment I felt so relaxed. My jaw muscles are fatigue and sore on a regular and after the buccal massage, my jaw has felt so much relief and I could see a difference immediately after. I am thoroughly impressed and I will def be coming back to see her and sending all my family and friends her way! Thank you for such a great experience!"
