Which Filler Best Stimulates Collagen Production: Radiesse or Sculptra?

The collagen production is better with Sculptra. It is Poly L-Lactic Acid which degrades in the bod y and stimulates production of new collagen. The amount of collagen production is much more than you would expect from Radiesse. The difference is that Radiesse will give you an instantaneous improvement but will last for a shorter duration than Sculptra. If you have an event coming up and want to look good right away, then go with Radiesse. If you are in no rush and want to have a subtle, gradual and natural looking change in your face then stick with Sculptra.

Both of these products stimulate collagen, but are used in different ways.  One advantage of Radiesse is that you get some fill for immediate gratification with collagen stimulation occurring later.  With Sculptra, it takes several months to see the effects of collagen formation.

I use Radiesse primarily to fill lines like smile lines and often small amounts under the eyes and for cheek augmentation.  I also love it to fill the back of the hands.

I use Sculptra for an overall volumizing and lifting effect.  It is ideal for patients who experience hollowing as they age.  This is an excellent product and worth the wait for the results it can achieve.  Neither product is ideal for lips.

Sculptra is the best stimulator of collagen however results are delayed and gradual. Radiesse is an excellent filler whereas Scultpra is a biostimulatory agent. Radiesse is a great choice for immediate results.
