Radiesse and Sculptra in Columbus, OH
Rebuild Volume and Restore Radiance — Collagen-Stimulating Fillers That Sculpt, Lift, and Last
At Astria Aesthetics in Columbus, OH, we offer advanced collagen injections like Radiesse® and Sculptra®, two of the most potent cosmetic fillers for facial and body rejuvenation. Whether you’re looking to smooth lines, lift the midface, restore the facial structure, or explore non-surgical volume restoration like a Sculptra® butt lift, our bio-stimulating injectables are designed to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results that last.
These collagen-building treatments go beyond surface-level correction. Sculptra® injections work over time by stimulating your skin’s collagen production, while Radiesse® filler offers immediate volume with ongoing firming effects. Both are ideal for patients seeking results that enhance, not change, their appearance.

- Restores Facial Volume: Perfect for cheeks, temples, chin, and jawline
- Stimulates Natural Collagen: Results improve gradually and last longer
- Smooths Wrinkles & Folds: Ideal for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more
- Long-Lasting Effects: Sculptra® can last two or more years; Radiesse® lasts up to 18 months

Many clients are amazed when comparing their Sculptra® before-and-after results with their Radiesse before-and-after results—they see subtle, natural improvements that evolve beautifully over time.
What Is the Difference Between Radiesse® and Sculptra®?
While both are bio-stimulating fillers, they work a bit differently:
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® injections contain calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel carrier, offering immediate volume plus long-term collagen stimulation. Results are visible right away and continue to improve for months. It’s ideal for treating:
- Cheeks
- Smile lines
- Marionette lines
- Jawline
- Radiesse butt lift procedures
What is Sculptra®?
Sculptra® injections use poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen deep within the skin. It works gradually over 1-3 sessions and is great for:
- Cheek volume loss
- Hollow temples
- Chin definition
- Sculptra butt lift and body contouring
If you compare Radiesse® vs. Sculptra®, the choice depends on whether you want an immediate lift or gradual restoration. We will guide you to the best solution for your goals.
