Biostimulators: Sculptra, Radiesse, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in St. Petersburg, FL
What Are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are sophisticated injectable treatments that activate the body’s natural processes to produce collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help maintain skin structure, firmness, and elasticity. At AR Aesthetics, we offer three scientifically-backed biostimulator treatments—Sculptra®, Radiesse®, and PRP—each designed to trigger a gradual regenerative response. Sculptra® promotes collagen growth over time to restore lost volume, Radiesse® boosts collagen and elastin production for enhanced skin elasticity, and PRP uses the body’s own platelets to accelerate healing and rejuvenation.
