Sculptra and Radiesse are both dermal fillers used to address volume loss and improve facial contours, but they have some differences in their composition and mechanism of action. Sculptra is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles, which stimulate collagen production over time, resulting in gradual and long-lasting results. Radiesse, on the other hand, is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier, providing immediate volume while also stimulating collagen production. Additionally, Sculptra is primarily used for larger treatment areas, such as cheeks and temples, while Radiesse is often preferred for deeper lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds.

The main difference between Sculptra and traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers lies in their mechanisms of action and duration of results. Traditional HA fillers provide immediate volume enhancement by physically filling in wrinkles and creases. They typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific product. On the other hand, Sculptra works by stimulating the body's collagen production, resulting in a gradual and natural-looking improvement over time. Sculptra's results can last up to two years, making it a longer-lasting option. While both types of fillers have their benefits, Sculptra is often chosen for those seeking a more gradual and prolonged rejuvenation, particularly for addressing larger areas of volume loss and facial contours.
