Medspa in Philadelphia, PA, 19147 Biostimulators Near Me
Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to support skin quality by encouraging the body’s natural collagen production.
At Vérité Aesthetic Medicine, we offer Radiesse®, a versatile biostimulator used to provide structural support while also supporting gradual collagen production over time.
Depending on how it is administered, treatment may provide immediate support and may also help improve the appearance of skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality over time.
When used in a more diluted form, Radiesse can be applied to areas such as the face, neck, décolleté, and body to support skin quality with minimal added volume.
Rather than focusing solely on volume, this approach is designed to enhance overall skin appearance with results that develop gradually and are intended to look natural.

About Biostimulators
WHAT IT IS
Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to help improve the appearance of skin quality by supporting the body’s natural collagen production.
At Vérité, we use Radiesse®, a versatile treatment used to support skin structure while encouraging gradual collagen production over time. In its traditional form, it can provide structure and contour. When used in a more diluted form, it may help improve the appearance of skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality with minimal added volume, depending on the treatment approach.
This flexibility allows treatment to be tailored to your anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Results are intended to develop gradually and leave skin looking healthier and more naturally refreshed.
HOW IT WORKS
Once placed into the skin, this treatment works in two phases:
• Immediate phase: Provides subtle support and structure to the treated area
• Collagen-support phase: Encourages the body’s natural collagen production over time
Like other dermal fillers, the product is gradually metabolized by the body. In addition to providing structure, Radiesse® is also used to support collagen production, which may help improve the appearance of skin firmness and overall skin quality over time.
When used in a more diluted (hyperdilute) form, the treatment is designed to distribute more broadly within the tissue, helping to improve the appearance of skin texture and firmness with minimal added volume. It is commonly used in areas such as the neck, décolleté, hands, and body where the focus is on enhancing skin quality rather than adding volume.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Consultation: Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, and goals. A treatment plan will be developed based on whether you may benefit most from structural support, collagen-supporting treatment, or a combination of both.
• Procedure: Treatment is performed using advanced techniques designed to support precision, safety, and natural-looking results. Most appointments take about 30–45 minutes, and numbing options are available for comfort.
• Post-Treatment: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days, though recovery can vary. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and treatment outcomes.
• Results: You may notice immediate refinement when structure is addressed, with continued improvement that may develop gradually over time as collagen production is supported. For skin quality-focused treatments, a series of sessions may be recommended based on your individual plan.
Radiesse® offers a non-surgical approach to supporting skin structure and improving the appearance of skin quality, with results intended to develop naturally over time.
