Collagen biostimulators · Approved fillers that work by stimulation
Poly-L-lactic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite, explained.
Revisado médicamente por Bernard Garcia, MD
Qué es
Biostimulatory injectables such as Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) are FDA-approved devices that prompt the skin to produce collagen over months, rather than adding volume immediately like hyaluronic-acid fillers.
Cómo funciona
Microparticles trigger a controlled tissue response; results build over two to three months and last one to two years. Technique matters — nodules are the characteristic complication when product is placed too superficially.

¿Es legal?
FDA-approved devices for specific indications, administered by licensed practitioners. This is a general note, not medical advice.
Preguntas frecuentes
Are results reversible?
Unlike hyaluronic-acid fillers, there is no dissolving enzyme. Nodules are managed differently.
How is this different from GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a topical or research peptide with modest evidence; biostimulators are approved injectable devices with clinical data.
Does Vitrex provide them?
No.
