Signature Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in Jackson Hole – led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Laura B. Cooper – offers two choices for biostimulators: Sculptra and Radiesse. Biostimulators are injected into the deep layer of the skin (the dermis). Unlike dermal fillers, which simply inject volume, biostimulators work by stimulating new tissue growth, helping the skin to naturally produce its own collagen and elastin. These treatments reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, address volume loss, and improve the texture and tone of the skin. Sculptra and Radiesse can be used to address a variety of concerns surrounding skin volume and vivacity. Our medical aesthetics team is dedicated to using these highly effective biostimulator treatments safely and with your utmost comfort in mind.
Two other fantastic options for skin rejuvenation and volume replacement are PRP and Stem Cells. PRP involves collecting a blood sample, processing it to remove the plasma rich in platelets, and then injecting it into the skin. PRP improves texture and tone, reduces wrinkles, and promotes new collagen growth.
Facial fat transfer using stem cells is the process of repurposing fat from other parts fo the body to replenish facial volume. Facial fat transfer introduces an influx of stem cells into the targeted areas, providing powerful skin regeneration. Stem cells have the biologic ability to self-renew indefinitely and essentially behave like more youthful cells. These stem cells not only replenish lost volume but also increase your body’s own natural collagen and elastin, the essential fibers that form the underlying structure of our skin. This results in more youthful, luminous skin, an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, and an overall beautiful glow. Plus, you receive a long-lasting replenishment of lost facial volume!

SCULPTRA
Sculptra is a revolutionary injectable cosmetic treatment containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLAA). Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, restoring youthful volume and contours to your face by tightening the skin and reducing signs of aging such as deep wrinkles.
RADIESSE
Radiesse is an effective dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. Radiesse adds volume and fullness to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother skin and diminished wrinkles.
PRP (PLATELET-RICH PLASMA) THERAPY
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a regenerative treatment which harnesses the restorative power of the patient’s own plasma. A blood sample is collected, processed to concentrate platelets, and then injected into the skin to promote natural healing and rejuvenation for a variety of aesthetic and medical purposes.
STEM CELLS
Stem cells are special types of cells that have two important properties: they serve as a powerful repair system for the body and they have the ability to self-renew. Stem cells naturally have antioxidant properties which promotes cell turnover and increases collagen production. The result is fewer lines and wrinkles, improved skin texture and tone, and radiant looking skin.
What Makes Someone a Good Candidate for Biostimulators?
- Sculptra, Radiesse and PRP are ideal for individuals who are experiencing mild to moderate volume loss in the face, such as hollowed cheeks, temples, or under-eye area.
- Typically, candidates should possess good skin elasticity and maintain overall skin health.
- Patients considering Sculptra, Radiesse, PRP, or Stem Cells should have realistic expectations about the treatment process and outcomes, including post-treatment care and downtime.
- Ideal patients should be non-smokers in good overall health and free from any medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process or increase the risk of complications.
