Collagen, a protein that provides the skin with strength, structure, and support, has long been a staple in anti-aging products.
As we age, our bodies slow collagen production, leading to visible signs of aging, such as loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and declining skin texture. Come to us for collagen injections in Winston-Salem to stimulate your body’s natural healing response and increase collagen production for firmer, plumper, younger-looking skin.
At Restoration MedSpa, our team of highly-trained medical providers has years of experience with collagen injections. We offer Sculptra and dermal fillers to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Sculptra
Sculptra is a dermal biostimulator whose key ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This FDA-approved injectable, known for its “signature 2-year glow,” triggers the body’s natural healing process, yielding smooth, healthy skin.
Once injected into targeted areas, like the cheeks, temples, or jawline, poly-L-lactic acid absorbs into the skin’s dermal layer. Then, the acid stimulates your body’s fibroblasts, which increases the production of collagen, providing structure to the skin. This revolutionary formula uniquely strengthens your skin’s natural framework, promoting noticeably healthier skin.
We recommend Sculptra for those seeking gradual volume enhancements. Clientele often includes athletes (whose high metabolisms quickly break down hyaluronic acid fillers) and older individuals (whose collagen production is declining).
Benefits of Sculptra
Through a series of 3 to 8 sessions, each 4 to 6 weeks apart, Sculptra yields long-term volume replenishment and improved skin health in the face, neck, and body. This injectable creates plumper, rejuvenated skin that can last 2 to 5 years after the initial appointment. Sculptra also:
- Tightens loose skin to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Refines the appearance of the jawline
- Improves the appearance of crepey skin
- Enhances skin texture and elasticity
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, also called hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, are aesthetic injections composed of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally produced by the body to keep skin flexible and hydrated.
HA fillers stimulate the body’s production of collagen and elastin, but at a minimal rate when compared to Sculptra. We recommend hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for clients seeking instant volume replacement to restore their youthful glow, draw attention to their natural features, and perfect facial symmetry.
If you are experiencing volume loss or skin laxity, HA fillers can minimize the appearance of static wrinkles. Static wrinkles are lines that stick around even while your face is at rest.
To target dynamic wrinkles, or lines that form when you make expressions, we recommend neuromodulators, like Botox.
A common concern around HA fillers is the fear of “filler face,” or looking “overdone.” At Restoration MedSpa, our highly-trained team of medical providers has years of experience providing natural results that highlight our clients’ authentic beauty.
Benefits of HA Fillers
Through a series of 1 to 4 sessions, each 1 to 6 months apart, hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume instantly in the chin, cheeks, jawline, lips, or temples. HA fillers last 1 to 4 years after the initial appointment and can:
- Minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Refine the appearance of the jawline, lips, and chin
- Address facial asymmetry for facial balancing
- Act as a non-surgical rhinoplasty
- Restore your youthful appearance and your self-confidence
Can’t Decide? Choose Both.
We can combine Sculptra and HA fillers for clients seeking volume correction and skin quality improvement. HA fillers yield instant volume enhancement while Sculptra gradually improves skin texture and volume for long-term results.
