Sculptra & Radiesse Biostimulators in Chapel Hill
The most natural approach to facial rejuvenation. Biostimulators work with your own biology to rebuild collagen from within — delivering gradual, authentic results that last years, not months.

Biostimulators vs. Traditional Fillers
Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers add immediate volume by physically filling in areas of the face. They produce rapid results — but they are temporary, typically lasting 9–18 months before the body breaks them down.
Biostimulators take an entirely different approach. Rather than adding volume directly, they trigger your body's own fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin over time. Results appear gradually over 3–4 months and can last 2 or more years.
Because the improvement comes from your own tissue, results look and feel completely natural — not "filled." Many patients describe it as their face looking like a younger version of themselves.

Gradual, Natural Results
Unlike fillers, biostimulators work gradually — results develop naturally over months so no one will be able to pinpoint what changed, only that you look refreshed.
Our Biostimulators
Sculptra vs. Radiesse
Oak Haus offers both leading biostimulator options. Your provider will recommend the right choice based on your anatomy, goals, and timeline.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid
Sculptra
Sculptra works by gradually stimulating collagen production over a series of 3–4 treatment sessions. Results develop slowly over 3–6 months and can last more than 2 years — making it one of the longest-lasting aesthetic treatments available.
- ✦ Ideal for diffuse volume loss across the face
- ✦ Results build over 3–4 months
- ✦ Lasts 2+ years
- ✦ 3–4 sessions recommended
Calcium Hydroxylapatite
Radiesse
Radiesse provides dual action — immediate volumizing similar to a traditional filler combined with long-term collagen stimulation. It's particularly effective for hand rejuvenation and areas requiring immediate structural support.
- ✦ Immediate volumizing + collagen stimulation
- ✦ Excellent for jawline, chin, cheeks, hands
- ✦ Lasts 12–18 months
- ✦ Often achieves goals in 1–2 sessions
Your Treatment Journey
What to Expect
Biostimulator treatments are performed in-office with minimal discomfort. Each session typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Consultation
Your provider performs a facial assessment and recommends Sculptra, Radiesse, or a combination approach based on your goals.
Numbing
Topical anesthetic and/or local nerve blocks are applied to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment session.
Injections
The biostimulator is injected using a fine needle or cannula into the targeted treatment areas with precision.
Aftercare
Mild swelling and bruising for a few days is normal. Sculptra patients follow a massage protocol for 5 days to distribute product evenly.
Results Build
Results emerge gradually as collagen production increases — most visible 3–6 months after completing the treatment series.
Patient Stories
What Our Clients Say
"Sculptra was the best aesthetic decision I've ever made. The results came on so naturally — people just say I look amazing, not 'done.' I feel like myself but 8 years younger."
— Patricia W., Cary
"I was tired of getting fillers every year. Radiesse gave me the structure I wanted and I haven't needed to touch it in over a year. The longevity alone is worth it."
— Rebecca S., Raleigh
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see results from Sculptra?
Sculptra works gradually — results typically become visible 3–4 months after your first session and continue to improve as collagen builds. The full effect is usually appreciated 6 months after completing your treatment series. Patience is rewarded with truly natural-looking rejuvenation.
Can I combine biostimulators with fillers or Botox?
Yes, and this is actually a common and effective approach. Biostimulators address volume and structural loss, while Botox relaxes dynamic wrinkles and fillers can address specific focal areas. Many patients use a combination as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
Are biostimulators reversible?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, biostimulators are not reversible with an enzyme. However, the product itself is biodegradable and will gradually be absorbed by the body over time. This underscores the importance of choosing an experienced, conservative injector.
Am I a good candidate for biostimulators?
Ideal candidates are adults experiencing gradual volume loss, deepening folds, and skin laxity who prefer natural-looking, long-lasting results. Biostimulators are especially well-suited for patients who want proactive maintenance and are comfortable with a gradual timeline. A consultation is the best way to determine if this approach is right for your anatomy and goals.
