Collagen is a vital protein that keeps our skin looking youthful and radiant. However, as time ticks on, collagen production decreases, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. To address this, people around the globe have been turning to collagen stimulating injections as a solution. This injection, which first hit our shelves in 1981, is a popular cosmetic treatment that leads to firmer, softer, and more radiant-looking skin. The process works by injecting a collagen-stimulating substance into the skin, which then stimulates our cells to produce more collagen. However, unlike other topical builders, this treatment directly targets the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in longer-lasting results.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biostimulant that works deep in the dermis to encourage your body’s own collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra rebuilds the underlying structure of the skin for volume that looks and feels more natural—because it is.
It’s especially effective in areas like:
Sculptra treatments are spaced over time and build gradually, making them perfect for clients who want results that evolve subtly—without dramatic change.
For clients looking for more immediate volume alongside collagen support, we also offer Radiesse, a calcium-based filler that smooths moderate to severe volume loss while acting as a collagen stimulator. Unlike Sculptra, Radiesse provides visible lift at the time of injection, with continued collagen benefits in the weeks that follow.
Radiesse is ideal for:

With this treatment, you can say goodbye to the cold and clinical atmosphere of a traditional doctor’s office and embrace a nurturing environment that includes warm staff and a positive atmosphere.
During your free consultation session, we will walk you through all the details and answer any questions you may have. However, to help prepare for your treatment, you should also keep a few things in mind when preparing for collagen stimulating injections.
One of the core benefits of collagen stimulating treatments is that they are tremendously safe and free of pain. While our practitioners will use needles during the collagen production treatment, you should only expect a mild prick at the injection point. Our certified team of professionals will also walk you through all expectations before and during your treatment so you will remain informed every step of the way. With our expert guidance, you can be confident that your collagen stimulation treatment will be successful.
At 4esthetics Lounge, safety is our number one priority, and we will only ever use data-driven treatments administered by certified professionals. The results of this procedure are tremendously conservative and focus on enhancing natural beauty above everything else. 4esthetics lounge will always take a nurturing approach to our treatments, and our professionals administer all injections in a warm lounge atmosphere. These inviting conditions make the treatment experience more pleasant than the traditional doctor's office environment.
After collagen stimulation injections, our providers at 4esthetics Lounge will never only treat and forget. Instead, we believe in helping our clients settle into healthier, younger-looking skin. Our commitment to your positive experience is why we always ensure we follow up with you, confirming you are satisfied and are not experiencing any issues. Before leaving our practice, we will also provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you get the most out of this procedure, as well as a clear plan for any follow-up treatments you may need to maintain your results.
There are a few things you should keep in mind after your treatment to ensure the best results. Once you leave our practice, you should try as much as possible to avoid sun exposure and heat, as this can cause irritation and inflammation in the area we treat. We also recommend putting away your scrubs and exfoliants for a few days after the procedure, as this will reduce any chances of irritation and healing. You should also be careful to avoid infections, so postpone any pool days and put aside any alcohol to ensure you do not run into any complications.
Collagen production injections like Sculptra can help with the following:
Collagen stimulating injections, in my opinion, are the cornerstone of aesthetic medicine. They promote your body to produce more collagen, while providing volume in areas of deficit. I think every patient can benefit from collagen stimulation injections because our bodies production of collagen drastically drops after our 20’s. It is a very soft and natural way to enhance facial volume and your skin quality.

Sculptra provides a long-term strategy for restoring facial volume. Benefits include:
Pairing or alternating with Radiesse can offer instant lift and long-term correction, depending on your goals.
Sculptra is best for adults who:
It may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or seeking quick correction in high-movement areas. We’ll walk you through all your options and recommend a plan that works with your lifestyle and goals.
Recovery after Sculptra injections is usually very mild. Expect some light swelling, bruising, or tenderness that resolves within a few days. We recommend gentle massage of the area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to help distribute the product evenly.
Since Sculptra works over time, visible changes appear gradually—and that’s a good thing. Your results will never look sudden or overdone.
Most clients begin to see results around 6–8 weeks post-treatment, with full volume restoration visible after several sessions. Once results settle in, they can last more than 2 years—far longer than traditional fillers.
If you’re seeking something more immediate, Radiesse offers both volume and collagen-stimulating benefits, often in a single session. We’ll help you choose the right pace and product mix for your aesthetic goals.
At 4esthetics Lounge, we believe subtle, long-lasting results begin with a thoughtful approach—not just to your skin, but to the whole experience. Our team of nurse practitioners specializes in collagen-stimulating injectables like Sculptra and takes the time to understand your goals, features, and preferences before creating your plan. Whether you’re looking to softly restore midface volume or support collagen as part of a broader rejuvenation strategy, our expertise ensures your results look like you—just more refreshed.
Collagen stimulating injections are tremendously effective in treating an extensive range of concerns, such as crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles between the brow. This ability to treat these clear signs of aging is why people tend to turn to this treatment, as it helps in restoring that youthful glow.
While we understand that some people have a fear of needles, you must remember that the injections we use in this treatment are very fine, resulting in a relatively painless procedure. Our team of certified professionals will also ensure you feel safe and comfortable during the treatment and will stop if you are feeling any excessive discomfort.
Although collagen stimulation injections are tremendously safe with minimal side effects, you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising in the area we treat. Additionally, any side effects you notice are generally temporary and subside within a few days. However, if you discover that your side effects are beginning to worsen, you should reach out to your provider as soon as possible.
Depending on the condition you are treating, the effects of collagen stimulating injections can last for several months. The results will also vary depending on your skin type and the area of the face we treated. To maintain your new glow, we also suggest popping by for some follow-up treatments.
Most people generally begin to notice a change in their appearance within a few weeks of their collagen producing injections, with that lustrous glow coming after a couple of months. However, these results will vary depending on several factors, such as the collagen producing injections you use for your treatment.
The frequency of your collagen stimulating injections sessions will generally depend on the condition you aim to treat. However, you will generally need several treatments to ensure maximum results. If you choose to have your collagen stimulating injections at 4esthetics Lounge, you will have a detailed discussion with one of our certified professionals, which will help them craft a treatment plan for you.
Most clients need 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your plan will be personalized to your level of volume loss.
Sculptra builds collagen gradually with no initial volume boost, while Radiesse provides immediate lift plus long-term collagen support. Both are biostimulants, but with different timelines and textures.
