Bio-Stimulators Stimulate Collagen for Natural, Lasting Rejuvenation
Bio-stimulators support your skin’s own collagen to improve structure, firmness, and overall quality with natural-looking results. At Cavana Ridge Medical Aesthetics, our licensed medical team offers two collagen-stimulating options — Radiesse® (CaHA) and Sculptra® (PLLA) — with treatment plans customized following consultation and medical clearance.
Radiesse® (Calcium Hydroxylapatite Bio-Stimulator) $850 Per Syringe
VIP Prestige Members $800 Per Syringe
Replenish Volume. Restore Collagen. Refresh You.
Ideal wrinkle reduction is achieved by replenishing your skin’s lost volume. Upon injection, Radiesse® Dermal Filler immediately provides the volume and lift required to diminish the signs of aging with a biodegradable gel and calcium-based microspheres. Radiesse is the ideal dermal filler for smoothing out laugh lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, lifting the corners of the mouth and pre-jowl folds, as well as enhancing the contours of the cheek, chin and jawline.12 Radiesse can also be used to restore volume loss in the back of the hands.
What’s unique about Radiesse is that it acts as a scaffold under the skin, stimulating and providing a structure where your own natural
collagen can grow.1 This process continues for several months, extending the initial effects of Radiesse. Best of all, the natural-looking results are clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.
* Consultation is required and an individualized treatment plan will be made to determine the amount of product required.
“Results vary; risks and contraindications will be reviewed during your consultation.”
Sculptra® (Poly-L-Lactic Acid Bio-Stimulator) $950 Per Vial
VIP Prestige Members $900 Per Vial
Restore Volume. Rebuild Collagen. Reveal Radiance.
Sculptra® works differently from traditional dermal fillers. Rather than adding immediate volume, it gradually stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production to restore fullness and improve overall skin quality. Composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), Sculptra is a biocompatible collagen biostimulator that helps soften fine lines and wrinkles, improve facial contours, and create a subtle, natural rejuvenation that develops progressively over time.
This treatment is ideal for addressing areas of volume loss in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and other regions of the face, helping to refine contours and enhance firmness. A series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal, long-lasting results that can last up to two years or more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Bio-Stimulators
- What is the difference between Radiesse® and Sculptra®? Radiesse® provides immediate volume and lift while stimulating collagen growth over time. Sculptra® works gradually by stimulating your own collagen to restore fullness and improve skin quality over a series of treatments. Both create natural-looking results, but the approach and timing of visible improvement differ.
- How long do results last? Radiesse® results typically last 12 months or more, while Sculptra® can provide results lasting up to 2 years with a series of treatments. Longevity depends on treatment area, product used, and individual factors.
- How many treatments will I need? Radiesse® is usually completed in one session, though touch-ups may be needed. Sculptra® often requires 2–3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will create a personalized plan based on your goals and facial anatomy.
- Is there downtime or recovery? Both treatments are minimally invasive. Most patients experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
- Are Bio-Stimulator injections safe? Yes. Treatments are performed by our licensed medical team in a professional clinical setting. Both Radiesse® and Sculptra® are FDA-approved and biocompatible. Your provider will review risks, contraindications, and aftercare during your consultation.
- How do I schedule a consultation? Book your consultation online or call our clinic to meet with our licensed medical team. A personalized plan will be created following assessment and medical clearance to determine the best approach for your goals.

Joanne Johnston
Co-Owner & Advanced Aesthetician
Hello, I’m Joanne — Co-Owner of Cavana Ridge and an aesthetician for over 25 years. I have been passionately dedicated to this industry from the moment I entered it, continuously learning from some of the most respected and advanced educators and leaders in the field. Their influence shaped my commitment to excellence and to always bringing the best possible care and results to my clients.
I am, first and foremost, a people person. I believe that everyone deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and cared for — inside and out. As we all evolve and age with new skin concerns, I have focused my continued professional growth in the world of skin and medical aesthetics, working with only the most trusted, evidence-based modalities and technologies. Leading our medical aesthetics team at Cavana Ridge brings me so much pride, as we support both our patients and one another in achieving incredible outcomes.
There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone look in the mirror and truly love what they see — not because they look different, but because they feel like the best version of themselves. My goal is to deliver exceptional results while ensuring every person I treat feels fully comfortable, supported, understood, and treated like royalty throughout their journey.
Outside of work, my greatest joy is my family — my husband and business partner Lee, and our four beautiful children: William, Matteo, and our twins, Chloe and Leo. I love fitness, all things beauty, and spending time connecting with the people I love. Though I often put others before myself, that’s simply who I am — it fills my heart.
I am excited to continue nurturing the relationships I’ve built over many years, while also welcoming new faces into the Cavana Ridge family. I can’t wait to meet you, to listen to your goals, and to help you feel amazing — every single step of the way.
With warmth and gratitude,
Joanne
