If you’re thinking about Botox or collagen-stimulating treatments like Radiesse, you’ve probably wondered what the appointment is actually like. How are treatment areas chosen? Does it hurt? Why do some patients combine treatments instead of doing just one?
In the video below, you’ll get an inside look at a real patient appointment with Chasity Hester, PA-C, one of our experienced injectors at Be Medispa. She walks through a customized treatment plan using both Botox and Radiesse biostimulation, explaining the purpose behind each treatment and how they work together to create natural-looking results.
Most people think of Botox when they want to soften forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines. Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for those expression lines, creating a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
But muscle movement is only one part of facial aging.
As we age, our bodies gradually produce less collagen and elastin, causing the skin to lose firmness, structure, and elasticity. That’s where Radiesse biostimulation comes in.
Unlike traditional fillers that primarily replace lost volume, Radiesse stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin production. Over the following months, your skin becomes stronger, firmer, and better supported from within.
At Be Medispa, we like to call biostimulation the 401(k) for your face.
Just like investing in retirement, you’re making an investment today that continues paying off in the future. Instead of only addressing today’s visible concerns, you’re helping your skin rebuild the collagen it naturally loses over time.
The patient featured in this video isn’t new to biostimulation. She’s receiving her third Radiesse treatment as part of a customized collagen-building plan.
Collagen production takes time.
That’s why we often recommend a series of treatments over three to four months. Each appointment builds upon the previous one, giving your body time to produce new collagen and improve skin quality naturally.
Rather than chasing quick fixes, this approach focuses on creating healthier skin that continues improving long after your appointment.
One of the biggest benefits you’ll notice in this treatment is the combination approach.
Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines.
Radiesse strengthens the skin by stimulating collagen production.
By treating multiple causes of facial aging during the same treatment plan, we can often achieve results that look balanced, refreshed, and natural while supporting healthier skin for the future.
Injectable treatments are highly personalized.
The amount of product used, where it’s placed, and how treatments are combined should all be based on your facial anatomy, muscle movement, skin quality, and long-term goals.
That’s why experience matters.
