If you’re noticing volume loss or skin laxity but want to avoid the puffiness or high-maintenance look of traditional fillers, collagen-stimulating injectables offer a different path. These treatments don’t just fill—they help your body rebuild structure from within, leading to firmer skin, smoother contours, and long-lasting improvement that develops gradually.
NeoMed Spa in Temecula offers three advanced options for collagen stimulation: Sculptra®, RADIESSE®, and Arriescence PDGF. Each is designed to activate your body’s own regenerative response—no overfilled look, no quick fade.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is an FDA-approved injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid—a biocompatible substance that tells your skin to get to work. Instead of simply filling space, it helps your body rebuild the structure it once had. That means fuller cheeks, smoother contours, and better skin texture, all from within.
The process is slow and steady (in the best way). You’ll likely need a few sessions spaced out over time. Think long game, not quick fix.
Why patients choose Sculptra®:
- Volume appears gradually, so there’s no “overfilled” moment
- Results can last for two years or longer
- In-office treatment with minimal swelling or downtime
- Integrates gradually, reducing the risk of puffiness or migration
Sculptra® is a great option if you’ve started noticing volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, or jawline—and want to correct it naturally, over time.
RADIESSE®
When you want structure, lift, and definition—and you want it now—RADIESSE® delivers.
This FDA-approved volumizing filler is built different. It doesn’t just fill—it stimulates collagen, thanks to its calcium-based microspheres. So you get the best of both worlds: instant results and long-term skin improvements.
Where we use it:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines
- Chin wrinkles
- Early jowling
- Jawline contouring
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Volume loss from lipoatrophy in HIV patients
How RADIESSE® works:
It’s made of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a water-based gel. This combo gives immediate volume, but the real win? It triggers new collagen growth as the gel gradually dissolves.
Treatments are fast—15 minutes on average—and typically need just one or two sessions. It’s also FDA-approved to be mixed with lidocaine, so the experience is a smooth one.
What you’ll notice:
- Instant lift and contour
- Smoother skin texture
- Improved firmness over time
- Results that last a year or more
What you won’t get:
- High-maintenance upkeep
- Overdone puffiness
- Product migration
Side effects? Minor and manageable. Expect a little swelling, redness, or bruising. Nothing crazy. No allergy testing needed—calcium hydroxylapatite is similar to what’s already in your body.
Arriescence PDGF
Arriescence PDGF is a regenerative injectable powered by platelet-derived growth factor, designed to stimulate cell renewal and collagen production at a deeper level. Unlike traditional fillers, it supports tissue repair and skin regeneration without adding artificial volume.
Why patients consider it:
- Helps improve elasticity and skin health
- Encourages natural collagen remodeling over time
- A biologic option for those seeking subtle, regenerative outcomes
- Can complement other treatments or stand alone
Arriescence is a strong choice for anyone more interested in rebuilding healthy skin from the inside out than creating volume at the surface.
