Stimulate your skin’s natural collagen to restore volume and firmness

Biostimulators should work with your skin, not against it. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Summertown, Oxford, every injectable is matched to your face and your goal rather than applied to a fixed protocol. Above all, our doctor plans your treatment personally, because the right product and the right number of vials matter far more than a one-off quick fix.

Because each biostimulator does a different job, choosing well matters as much as the treatment itself. Sculptra rebuilds collagen slowly for soft, widespread volume, while Radiesse lifts straight away and stimulates collagen as it goes. Moreover, these are not the same as a hydrating skin booster, which adds glow rather than structure. As a result, your plan is built around the change you actually want to see.

Which biostimulator, concern by concern

These injectables are not interchangeable, and they work in different ways. Each row lists only the treatments that meaningfully help that concern, and what each one does. Our doctor often combines them for the fullest result.

Concern or goal What each treatment does
Gradual, natural volume across hollow cheeks and temples
  • Sculptra: poly-L-lactic acid that rebuilds your own collagen slowly for soft, widespread volume.
Instant lift plus longer-term firming of the lower face and jawline
  • Radiesse: calcium hydroxylapatite that lifts on the day and stimulates collagen over the weeks that follow.
Crepey, ageing or volume-depleted hands
  • Radiesse: smooths and re-volumises the backs of the hands while building collagen for lasting results.
Overall collagen regeneration and a fresher, firmer look
  • Juläine: a branded biostimulator that prompts your skin to regenerate collagen gradually.
Skin that looks dull or dehydrated rather than deflated
  • Skin Boosters: hydrating injectables that restore glow and quality, rather than rebuilding structure or volume.
Not sure which is right
  • Book a consultation: assessed in person, then matched to your face and your goal by our doctor, who will often combine treatments or pair them with dermal fillers.

Why patients choose Cannelle Skin Clinic

Real results come from the right product, the right placement and a properly planned course. Indeed, that is the standard our doctor holds to at every appointment, in a calm, discreet clinic in the heart of Summertown.

  • Doctor-led, every time. Your practitioner plans and oversees your treatment personally, so your face is assessed by a medical professional rather than a salon technician.
  • The right tool for the job. Because we offer Sculptra, Radiesse and Juläine alongside hydrating skin boosters, your plan is built around your face rather than the single product a clinic happens to stock.
  • Gradual, undetectable change. Since biostimulators rebuild collagen over time, our medical team doses conservatively across a short course, so the result looks like you on a good day.
  • Close to home in Summertown, Oxford. We welcome patients from across Oxfordshire, including Headington, Botley, Cowley and Jericho, as well as nearby towns such as Witney, Bicester, Kidlington and Abingdon.

From consultation to aftercare

Above all, knowing what to expect makes the whole experience easier. From your first consultation to your follow-up review, every step at Cannelle is doctor-led and unhurried. To see what happens at each stage, open the steps below.

Consultation and facial assessment

First, our doctor reviews your medical history, assesses your facial volume and skin quality, and explains which biostimulator suits your goal.

Planning and dosing

Next, the doctor agrees the areas, the product and the number of vials or sessions, and confirms a clear price before anything begins.

The treatment

Using the chosen biostimulator, your practitioner injects the area with topical numbing for comfort. Most appointments take 30 to 45 minutes.

As your results settle

Afterwards, Radiesse gives an immediate lift, while Sculptra and Juläine build collagen gradually over the following weeks and across your course of sessions.

Review and maintenance

Once your course is complete, we review your results together and plan any maintenance, since collagen-stimulating results are kept up with occasional top-up sessions.

Not sure which biostimulator is right for you?

Simply book a consultation in Oxford, and our doctor will recommend the right product, the right areas and the right number of sessions. Of course, there is never any pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patients ask us the same questions about biostimulators and collagen-stimulating injections, so we have answered them here. However, if anything is still unclear, our doctor will talk it through at your consultation.

How much do biostimulators cost in Oxford?

At Cannelle Skin Clinic, prices depend on the product and how many vials you need. Specifically, Sculptra starts from £450 per vial, Radiesse from £480, and Juläine is priced at your consultation. Because most plans work best as a short course, your practitioner confirms an itemised price before anything begins.

What are biostimulators, and how are they different from fillers?

They prompt your skin to make its own collagen rather than simply filling a space. Traditional dermal fillers add volume instantly and are mostly hyaluronic acid, whereas collagen-stimulating injections such as Sculptra and Radiesse rebuild structure gradually for a softer, longer-lasting result. Because the right choice depends on your face and your goal, our doctor advises at consultation.

Sculptra or Radiesse, which is right for me?

Matching the biostimulator to your concern

It depends on your concern and how quickly you want to see change. Generally, Sculptra suits gradual, widespread volume across cheeks and temples, while Radiesse suits an instant lift of the lower face, jawline or hands. Because the right choice is rarely obvious from the outside, our doctor assesses your face in person before recommending one.

Are biostimulators the same as skin boosters?

No, and it is a common mix-up. Biostimulators rebuild collagen and restore structure and volume, whereas skin boosters hydrate the skin and improve glow and quality. In many cases they work beautifully together, so our doctor may suggest both. Above all, the right plan comes from assessing your skin in person.

Do collagen-stimulating injections hurt?

Discomfort is mild and manageable. Because topical numbing is applied beforehand and most products contain a local anaesthetic, most patients describe brief pressure rather than real pain. Afterwards, mild swelling, redness or small bruises can occur and usually settle within a few days.

How long until I see results, and how long do they last?

It varies by product. In general, Radiesse gives a visible lift on the day, while Sculptra and Juläine build collagen over a course of sessions and the weeks that follow. Afterwards, results are long lasting, often a year or more, and are kept up with occasional maintenance as your skin naturally ages.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Although you may notice mild swelling, redness or small bruises for a day or two, most patients return to normal activities the same day. Moreover, our doctor will give you simple aftercare, including a gentle massage routine for Sculptra, to follow at home.

Who performs the treatment?

Always doctor-led

Every biostimulator treatment at Cannelle is planned and performed by Dr Mattia Parducci (GMC: 7635663), a medically qualified doctor. As a result, your face is assessed and treated by a medical professional, not a salon technician.

Can biostimulators be combined with other treatments?

Yes, and they often are. Because they rebuild structure rather than just fill, our medical team frequently pairs a biostimulator with dermal fillers for definition or a skin booster for glow. Your practitioner will sequence everything safely across your plan.

Do you treat patients from outside Oxford?

Yes. In fact, we welcome patients from across Oxfordshire, including Summertown, Witney, Bicester, Kidlington and Abingdon. Because we are based in Summertown, north Oxford, we are an easy trip for patients travelling in from the surrounding towns.
