BIOSTIMULATORS
Biostimulators are advanced injectable treatments designed to support your skin's natural collagen production and gradually help improve firmness, structure, and overall skin quality. Rather than simply adding volume, these treatments are designed to work with your body over time to support natural-looking, progressive rejuvenation.
At Mori Serenity Lounge, our biostimulator treatments include RADIESSE® and SCULPTRA®, selected and customized based on your individual anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
This guide covers what biostimulators are, how RADIESSE® and SCULPTRA® differ, common treatment areas, and how your provider determines which approach may be right for you. As with any injectable treatment, individual results and timelines vary, and a personalized consultation is required to determine candidacy.
ABOUT BIOSTIMULATORS
Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to encourage the body's natural regenerative processes and support new collagen formation.
Over time, collagen support can help improve skin firmness, support facial structure, soften the appearance of laxity, and enhance overall skin quality while maintaining a natural appearance.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily provide immediate volume, biostimulators are designed to create gradual, progressive improvement. A consultation with a licensed provider is required to assess your anatomy and skin quality and confirm candidacy before treatment.
RADIESSE®
Structure + Collagen Support
RADIESSE® is a calcium hydroxyapatite–based injectable designed to provide structural support while also stimulating collagen production over time.
Depending on your treatment plan, RADIESSE® may be used to enhance facial contours, support areas of volume loss, help improve skin quality, and address the appearance of visible laxity.
Best for:
Facial contouring
Jawline definition
Lower face support
Skin firmness
Neck rejuvenation
Décolleté rejuvenation
SCULPTRA®
Gradual Collagen Restoration
SCULPTRA® is a poly-L-lactic acid injectable designed to stimulate your body's natural collagen production gradually over time.

Facial volume loss
Cheek support
Temple rejuvenation
Lower face rejuvenation

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Biostimulator treatment may be considered by adults interested in gradually supporting skin firmness, facial structure, or the appearance of collagen loss over time. Because results are progressive rather than immediate, this treatment may particularly appeal to clients seeking subtle, long-term changes rather than an immediate filled effect.
This treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Certain health histories, active skin infections at or near the treatment area, autoimmune conditions, a history of keloid scarring, certain medications, and circumstances such as pregnancy or breastfeeding may affect candidacy. Your provider will review your medical history, discuss potential risks, and confirm which product — RADIESSE®, SCULPTRA®, or a combination — may be appropriate for you.
What to Expect
Consultation
Your visit begins with a personalized assessment of your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.

Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites.
Results Timeline
RADIESSE® may provide some initial structural improvement with continued collagen-related benefits over time. SCULPTRA® results develop gradually, typically over several weeks to months, as collagen support builds. Individual results and timelines vary.
Maintenance
Because biostimulators work progressively, a series of treatments may be recommended, and many clients return for maintenance sessions as part of an ongoing, personalized plan.
