Biostimulant Injections
Vancouver, VA
Biostimulatory fillers rebuild collagen, restore facial volume, and improve skin quality over time, naturally and without surgery.
Biostimulatory fillers rebuild collagen, restore facial volume, and improve skin quality over time, naturally and without surgery.
As we age, our collagen levels begin to drop, and the structure of our skin changes. The result? Fine lines, skin laxity, and a gradual loss of the facial volume that once defined our features.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume, biostimulatory injectables work with your body to produce collagen naturally, improving firmness, tone, and structure from the inside out.
At Camas Med Spa, we specialize in biostimulatory fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra. These powerful injectables work with your skin to stimulate collagen production for long-term, subtle improvements in volume and a lifted appearance. Biostimulatory injections offer a gradual, more natural-looking transformation for those who want to look refreshed without looking overdone. We prefer Radiesse, formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite, for its versatility and quick firming effect. We also offer Sculptra, a slow-building option made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Our team will guide you toward the right choice based on your goals, skin type, and areas of concern.
Biostimulatory injectables are injectable treatments designed to trigger collagen synthesis beneath the skin. Instead of simply “filling” lines and hollow areas, these collagen-stimulating injectables activate your skin’s repair process, leading to gradual tissue regeneration, improved firmness, and smoother texture.We offer two leading options:
Radiesse: A calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler that provides an initial lift followed by lasting collagen remodeling. Ideal for the lower face, jawline, and even the hands.
Sculptra: Made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), this slow-developing injectable encourages the production of collagen over a series of treatments. Especially effective for facial wrinkles, hollows, and skin aging.
Both of these collagen-stimulating injectables offer natural-looking, understated improvements that develop gradually, providing long-lasting skin rejuvenation that starts from within.
Like all services at Camas Med Spa, our biostimulatory filler treatments begin with a thoughtful consultation. We’ll review your goals, assess your skin quality, and recommend the most effective option for you, whether that’s Radiesse, Sculptra, or a combination approach.
Once your plan is set, your aesthetic nurse injector will carefully place the product using a fine needle or cannula in key areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or temples. Mild swelling or tenderness at the injection site is normal and usually fades within a few days. Sculptra may require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results, while Radiesse often offers some immediate volume along with ongoing collagen stimulation.
Biostimulator injections are ideal for addressing subtle signs of aging that stem from collagen loss and depleted facial volume. At Camas Med Spa, we use biostimulatory injectables to improve:
Some patients also see improvements in acne scars and rough skin texture with collagen-building treatments like Sculptra.
What Are the Benefits of Biostimulator Injections?
Unlike HA fillers that add instant plumpness, biostimulatory fillers offer a slower, deeper transformation, working with your body’s healing response to stimulate collagen production. Benefits include:
Patients appreciate the natural-looking results offered by biostimulatory fillers and the way these treatments help their skin remain healthier, not just appear fuller.
Biostimulatory injectables are ideal for adults who want to age gracefully without making drastic or obvious changes. You may be a good candidate if:
During your consultation, we’ll also inquire about your health history, any medications you are currently taking, and any prior reactions to ensure your safety. While most people are good candidates for biostimulator injections, certain conditions or inflammatory responses may affect candidacy.
There’s little to no downtime with biostimulatory injections.
You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, but most patients return to normal routines immediately. Your aesthetic nurse injector will provide clear aftercare guidelines, including avoiding strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.
Give your collagen production time to work. You'll see meaningful results, but they won’t appear overnight. The results of Radiesse and Sculptra develop gradually over several weeks as new collagen builds beneath the skin. For optimal outcomes, your provider may recommend a follow-up schedule or combination plan with other treatments, depending on your goals.
Because biostimulatory fillers work by stimulating collagen production, results aren’t instant, but they are long-lasting. Here’s what you can expect:
Radiesse provides visible firming effects immediately, followed by gradual improvements in skin texture and elasticity over 6–12 weeks.
Sculptra, made from L-lactic acid / PLLA, builds natural collagen production across 1–3 sessions, with results peaking after several months.
Both treatments offer long-lasting rejuvenation, with many patients enjoying benefits up to two years after their final session. You’ll notice smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin, more defined facial contours, a gradual softening of lines, and improved skin quality. Best of all, these improvements blend into your features, subtly highlighting your natural facial contours for an all-over refresh.
At Camas Med Spa, we take the time to get it right.

Whether you're new to injectables or exploring an alternative to traditional fillers, we’re here to guide you.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, such as Juvederm, Restylane, or the hyaluronic hydrator SKINVIVE, provide instant volume by filling the space beneath the skin. Unlike dermal fillers containing HA, biostimulatory injectables stimulate collagen production, helping your body rebuild structure and firmness from within. Depending on goals, they're often paired together.
The collagen-stimulating effects of Radiesse and Sculptra are long-lasting. While the duration of results can vary based on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle, most patients see results for up to two years.
Yes. Both Radiesse and Sculptra are FDA-approved and widely used in medical aesthetics. As with all injectables, there's a low risk of side effects. Mild swelling or bruising can occur around the injection sites, but typically fades quickly.
Absolutely. We often combine biostimulatory injections with traditional dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid for a layered approach that addresses both volume and structure.
There’s minimal downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Just be sure to avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours and follow your aftercare instructions.
Radiesse may require just one session. Sculptra usually works best in a series of 2–3 appointments spaced out over a few months.
While biostimulator injectable treatments are not designed to tighten significant loose skin, they can improve firmness in the treatment area. As new collagen is formed, Radiesse and Sculptra restore volume, with patients noticing enhanced firmness and mild skin tightening in the treated areas.
