Injectables 101: Botox, Sculptra, Radiesse, and More

February 5, 2024

The realm of modern aesthetics boasts an impressive array of tools and techniques to enhance your natural beauty. Foremost among these offerings are injectables like Botox, Sculptra, and Radiesse. They provide a non-invasive solution to various age-related skin concerns and enable you to sport a fresher, younger look. However, with so many different injectables on the market, it can be hard to decide which one is best for you. This article aims to demystify the world of injectables for you.



What are Injectables?

Injectables are substances that are introduced into the skin via a needle to target different aesthetic issues. They fall into three main categories: Neuromodulators (such as Botox, and Xeomin), Fillers (like Restylane, and RHA), and Biostimulators (like Sculptra, and Radiesse).


Neuromodulators – Wrinkle Relaxers

Neuromodulators, such as Botox, work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where they are injected. This causes those muscles to relax and soften, thereby reducing or eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. Botox is ideal for treating wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and crow's feet.


Fillers – Volume Restorers

Fillers like Restylane and RHA are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases or enhance facial contours. More than 1 million men and women annually opt for this popular facial rejuvenation treatment, which can be a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery or downtime.


Biostimulators – Collagen Boosters

Biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse work differently from fillers and neuromodulators. When injected into the skin, they stimulate the body's natural production of collagen, the protein that provides our skin with structure and elasticity. Over time, as your body metabolizes these biostimulators, they leave behind your own naturally produced collagen.
