About biostimulators

Sculptra® is an injectable dermal filler that gradually restores volume by improving skin fullness and elasticity. Sculptra®® contains poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic polymer. When absorbed by the body, new collagen is deposited in its place, making it a natural substance that nourishes, hydrates, and supports the health and longevity of your skin.


Radiesse is a unique injectable treatment option based on calcium hydroxyapatite that stimulates your body's own collagen production to improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.

Our specialists are available to help you achieve firmer, more radiant, and more youthful skin, in complete safety.

What you need to know about biostimulators

Biostimulants are injectables that promote natural collagen production, allowing for gradual and lasting skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers, they do not immediately fill volumes, but act deep within to redensify and firm the skin over time.

At the Unica MD Aesthetic Clinic, we use two types of biostimulators recognized for their effectiveness and safety:

Sculptra®: Composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), it gradually stimulates collagen production, restoring firmness and elasticity to the skin.

Radiesse®: Contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which provides an immediate volumizing effect while stimulating long-term collagen production.

Our experts will guide you towards the treatment best suited to your needs.

Biostimulators offer several benefits for firmer and more radiant skin:

Progressive improvement in skin quality: Increases the production of natural collagen.

Lifting and firming effect: Restores tone and volume to the treated areas.

Long-lasting results: Effects can last up to 2 years.

Natural appearance: No artificial volume, the skin gradually regains its natural density.

Versatility: Suitable for treating the face, hands, neck and other areas prone to loss of elasticity.

The effects of biostimulators develop gradually and provide subtle and natural rejuvenation.

Progressive results: Improvement occurs over several weeks as collagen production increases.

Long-lasting effect: Results can be visible for up to 24 months.

Denser and toned skin: Reduction of wrinkles, improvement of skin texture and elasticity.

Natural and harmonious results: The skin appears rejuvenated without a stiff effect.

Personalized follow-up is recommended to optimize and maintain results.

Your biostimulator treatment is simple, effective and adapted to your specific needs.

Initial consultation: Assessment of your skin and determination of the ideal biostimulator.

Skin preparation: Cleaning and disinfection of the injection area.

Biostimulator injection: Performed with precision to stimulate collagen evenly.

FAQ

Is the treatment painful?

The vast majority of patients experience very little discomfort . Modern dermal fillers typically contain an anesthetic (lidocaine), and a numbing cream may be applied prior to treatment. At Unica MD, we make every effort to make the experience smooth, safe, and reassuring .

Are there any side effects or a recovery period?

The after-effects are generally mild: some redness, tenderness, or swelling may occur in the hours following treatment, as well as minor bruising in some cases. These effects resolve within a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after leaving the clinic . Our doctors always provide personalized post-treatment advice for optimal recovery.

Do fillers give a “puffy” or artificial effect?

No, not when used correctly. At Unica MD, our approach is based on subtlety and balance . Doses are precisely adjusted to respect the morphology of the face and preserve your natural expression . The goal is not to transform, but to reveal a refreshed and harmonious version of yourself . The famous "over-injected" effect often comes from excess... which we carefully avoid.

Can you correct or dissolve a filler if you change your mind?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be fully or partially dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is one of the great advantages of this type of product: it offers flexibility and reversibility when needed. Our team is trained to intervene quickly and safely if correction is desired.

Can everyone receive fillers?

Most healthy adults can receive this treatment. However, there are some contraindications , such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or certain medical conditions. That's why every treatment at Unica MD begins with a personalized medical consultation to ensure the care is safe and tailored to your needs.
