Sculptra alternative in Zurich | Swiss Derma Clinic

Aesthetics

Sculptra is one of the trending treatments in aesthetic medicine. At the Swiss Derma Clinic, our priority is to offer our patients the most effective yet gentle treatments with sustainable results. This is why we have chosen Radiesse. As one of the most effective anti-aging applications on the market, Radiesse offers exceptional benefits.

If you are looking for a long-lasting alternative to Sculptra, Radiesse is an excellent choice. It supports the body’s natural collagen production, restores lost volume within minutes, and redefines contours. Radiesse also tightens the skin visibly – all without surgery.

Contour Refinement and Long-Lasting Tightening

Radiesse is based on calcium hydroxylapatite, a biodegradable substance that restores volume, such as in sunken cheeks or pronounced wrinkles. It also stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. The treatment, similar to a filler application, involves injecting the skin-compatible gel mixture into the skin using fine needles.

Radiesse smooths wrinkles, lifts sagging facial areas, and gives the skin a firm and vital appearance in no time.

What Makes Radiesse Special?

Dual effect: Volume restoration and skin tightening.
Natural results: Skin looks rejuvenated, not overfilled.
Long-lasting: Effects last up to 18 months – longer than many other fillers.
Versatile: Suitable for the face, hands, neck, and challenging areas.

Who Is Radiesse Suitable For?

Radiesse is the ideal choice for patients who want to smooth wrinkles, tighten skin, achieve long-lasting results without frequent touch-ups, or restore sunken cheeks.

Our focus is always on creating a personalized treatment plan that suits your skin and individual goals.

Radiesse: A Powerful Alternative to Sculptra

Sculptra and Radiesse are popular fillers for treating both fine and deep wrinkles without surgery. At the Swiss Derma Clinic, we prefer Radiesse for several reasons. Its active ingredient, calcium hydroxylapatite, integrates well into the tissue and is highly compatible, even with sensitive skin. It naturally occurs in the human body, specifically in bones, making it particularly effective for rebuilding skin, restoring volume, and improving skin quality after significant weight loss or aging. Radiesse also stands out for its versatility, delivering remarkable results even in challenging areas like the hands. Its effects last up to 18 months or longer, depending on individual factors such as skin condition and genetics.

FAQ

When is Radiesse the right Sculptra alternative for me?

Radiesse is ideal if you want to:

Restore visible volume loss in the face or hands.
Achieve immediate effects while maintaining natural-looking results.
Tighten sagging skin by stimulating the body’s collagen synthesis.

How do Radiesse and Sculptra differ in their effects?

Radiesse: Made from calcium hydroxylapatite, it combines immediate volume restoration with long-term collagen stimulation, smoothing wrinkles and enhancing skin structure.
Sculptra: Contains poly-L-lactic acid, which primarily stimulates skin renewal. Unlike Radiesse, it does not immediately add volume but gradually improves skin structure over several weeks.

Which treatment delivers faster results?

Radiesse offers immediate results due to its volumizing effect, which are further enhanced over time through collagen stimulation. Sculptra, on the other hand, delivers slower results, with visible improvements typically appearing about four weeks after treatment.

How long do the results last?

Both treatments offer results that last between one and two years, depending on skin condition and wrinkle depth. Touch-ups and combination treatments can extend and enhance the effects.
