The base product of Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid is derived from the acid of fruits and is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in the body. The base product of Radiesse® is calcium hydroxyapatite which is the natural component of bone that allows for stability and optimal bioavailability leading to a longer duration of the product. These ingredients can be blended to best results. Dr. Gunn is the leading injector of Sculptra® and Radiesse®.

 

How It Works

Biostimulating fillers are added into the volume deficient areas of the face or body, the micro particles stimulate the collagen and elastic fiber production over a period of months. This is the slow and steady approach to volume enhancement.

Collagen produced after a treatment increases the skin thickness, adds volume to the facial tissue and restores shape and fullness in the treated area with a gradual, natural looking result. Biostimulating fillers are ideal for those who wish to increase their volume at a more slow, natural and subtle pace.

FAQ’s

“I do not want to look fake? Will this give me natural results?”
— Absolutely! All fillers can be placed to look fake and unnatural. However, at Gunn Dermatology will never over place filler that can be seen as unnatural. This particular blended filler gives natural results especially when used to replace the natural loss of fat, collagen and bone that occurs with aging.
“I am scared of needles and filler treatment. Will it hurt?”
— It is very natural and even good to be scared of these treatments. This fear can protect you from the untrained injector. Comfort, safety and quality is of our upmost importance at Gunn Dermatology. We can help you giggle through the procedure and enjoy your results with multiple pain relieving techniques and expertise.
“I have a special event coming up. When should I schedule my treatment?”
— This procedure can be performed 1 month prior to a special event. However, 4-6 months prior to the event will give better results. Don’t forget to pair the treatments with other special event procedures like Hydrafacial and Wrinkle Relaxing Medicines.
“I’ve had filler before and it never lasts. Will this filler last longer?”
— 100% yes. The natural ingredients in these bio-stimulating fillers will last much longer than the more common hyaluronic acid fillers.
