How it works:
At Avanti Le Spa, we use biostimulator injections such as Sculptra® and Radiesse® that naturally stimulate your skin's collagen production for gradual and long-lasting rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers, these treatments restore volume and improve skin texture by activating the skin's natural regenerative processes. Perfect for those who desire a subtle and natural result, biostimulators firm, smooth, and revitalize the skin over time for a more youthful and radiant appearance.
Treat:
Loss of volume in the face, skin laxity, wrinkles and fine lines, hollow or sagging areas, uneven texture and complexion, cellulite and irregularities.

FAQ
Are there any contraindications?
Yes, certain conditions may contraindicate or require special attention before receiving biostimulator injections such as Sculptra® or Radiesse®. These contraindications include:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area
- Uncontrolled autoimmune diseases
- History of severe allergic reactions to any component of the product
- History of keloids or abnormal scarring
- Ongoing immunosuppressive treatment
- Active oncological diseases
A complete medical evaluation is always conducted before any treatment to ensure that you are a good candidate. Your safety and well-being are our priority at the Avanti Le Spa.
Does this work for everyone?
Biostimulant injections are not suitable for everyone. The ideal candidates are:
- People with mild to moderate skin laxity
- Those who wish to improve their skin quality while stimulating their own collagen production
- Patients looking for gradual and natural results, without immediate volume addition
- Those who prefer to avoid hyaluronic acid fillers
Are there any side effects?
As with any injectable treatment, temporary side effects may occur following biostimulator treatment. These generally include:
- Redness or swelling at the injection site
- Sensitivity or discomfort
- Minor bruising
- Temporary nodules
These effects generally disappear within a few days to a few weeks. Other rarer side effects may occur and will be discussed in detail during your consultation to ensure your safety. At Avanti Le Spa, we do everything to ensure that the treatment is carried out in sterile and comfortable conditions, with a safe and personalized approach.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions required for biostimulant treatments varies according to several factors, including:
- The area to be treated
- The clinical indication (relaxation, volume loss, skin texture, etc.)
- The result desired by the patient
In general, an initial protocol of 2 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, followed by an annual maintenance session to maintain the effects. During your consultation at the Avanti Le Spa, a personalized treatment plan will be proposed based on your needs and aesthetic goals.
When will the results be visible?
The results of biostimulant treatments are not immediate, as they rely on the natural stimulation of your own collagen production. You will generally start to notice a gradual improvement in firmness, texture, and skin quality after 4 to 6 weeks, with results continuing to improve for several months after each session.
In particular, Radiesse offers an immediate result due to the volumization it provides, while also promoting long-term improvement by stimulating collagen production. The effects are progressive, subtle, and long-lasting, resulting in a natural and harmonious appearance.
Is it painful?
Biostimulant treatments may cause slight discomfort or sensitivity, but they are generally well tolerated. A local anesthetic or anesthetic cream can be applied before the treatment to minimize any pain. Most patients experience a sensation of small pricks or pressure during the injection, but the discomfort is usually mild and short-lived.
We ensure that the treatment takes place in a comfortable environment, emphasizing your well-being throughout the process.
How much time is expected for recovery?
The recovery time after treatment with the biostimulator is generally minimal. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the session. However, it is possible to experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas for a few hours to a few days.
Side effects such as bruising may occur, but they usually disappear after a few days. To optimize your comfort and results, we recommend following the post-treatment instructions provided by our team.
In the majority of cases, recovery is quick and you will gradually appreciate the results over the weeks.
Which areas of the body can be treated?
Biostimulant treatments can be used on several areas of the body to improve skin elasticity, stimulate collagen production, and restore firmness. Here are the commonly treated areas:
- Face (particularly the cheeks, jawline, temples, and forehead)
- Neck and décolletage
- Hands, knees, elbows
Abdomen (particularly to address mild skin laxity)
These areas can be treated in a targeted manner for natural and harmonious results, depending on your specific needs.
The next steps
1. Consultation
Each treatment begins with an in-depth consultation with one of our medical experts. During this meeting, we evaluate your needs, aesthetic goals, anatomy, and medical history. It is also an opportunity to explain how biostimulants like Sculptra® and Radiesse® work, their mode of action, the progression of results, and to answer all your questions. A tailored treatment plan is then developed, taking into account your physiology and the targeted areas.
2. Treatment session
The treatment is performed in a clean and safe medical environment, with particular attention paid to your comfort. Biostimulants are injected strategically to stimulate the natural production of collagen in the skin. Depending on the treated areas and the product used, the session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. The desired effect is gradual and natural, with a steady improvement in firmness, volume, and quality of the skin.
3. Results and follow-up
A follow-up is recommended a few weeks after the first session to assess the skin's response and adjust the protocol if necessary. In most cases, 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. An annual follow-up may also be suggested to maintain long-term benefits. We accompany you throughout this process to ensure a smooth and safe progression of your results.
