The Unique Benefits of Sculptra® and Radiesse®

Dermal fillers are designed to restore lost facial volume, combating the common signs of aging by giving your skin a smoother, firmer appearance. Each dermal filler has its own strengths and, when used properly, can effectively address different cosmetic concerns.
