Stimulating Collagen Production with Radiesse Injections
Radiesse injections will stimulate collagen production more than the hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane, but not as much as a product like Sculptra. The choice of product will depend on where it is being used, how much is necessary, what is the reason for the injection, and the experience of your physician.

Radiesse for collagen production
Radiesse is an excellent choice for a filler treatment on the face. Although stimulation of collagen production and the so -called stimulatory agent is traditionally thought of as Scultpra. We are finding that even other filler agents including Radiesse and even hyaluronic acid fillers have biostimulatory properties too.

Radiesse and Collagen Production
Radiesse actually does stimulate collagen production to a greater extent than other dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
Radiesse is made of a compound called calcium hydroxylapatite. This is actually a component of collagen. So injections actually stimulate the process of collagen formation by supplying this key element at a relatively fast rate.
Research shows that over time Juvederm and Restylane also promote the synthesis of new collagen by stimulating the...

Radiesse is a "stimulatory" filler
It is important to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers. When treating problems due to volume loss such as cheek hollows and sagging skin beside the mouth, I will almost always use stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse and/or Sculptra. They are injected deeper, beneath the skin, and will generate more volume to create a much better lifting effect for sagging skin. They work by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen, which is...

Does Radiesse Promote Collagen Formation
Hello. Although Radiesse is considered a "scaffold like" product that can lead to the development of new collagen in the dermis, the choice of a dermal filler should be based on the injection area and duration rather than collagen formation.
The effect of collagen stimulation is small compared to the volume replacement effect created by Radiesse. Therefore it is much more important to consider which product is more appropriate for an area (Radiesse cheeks, Restylane...

Radiesse is a stimulatory filler
You are correct that Radiesse promotes collagen formation. This is why it lasts longer than the hyaluronic acids fillers. Radiesse is excellent for volume restoration, particularly in the cheeks, but should not be used in the tear troughs or eyelid region. Restylane works very well in areas with thinner skin or in patients who are reluctant to commit to a longterm solution, in the event that they are unhappy with the result.

Radiesse and Collagen
Stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse (and Sculptra) work by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen, which is why they are more effective at treating problems due to volume loss. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane aren't stimulatory fillers and don't have this ability. However, I rarely do Radiesse on people who have never had fillers before. There is no counter product for Radiesse if a patient doesn't like it, while HA fillers can be dissolved...
