Why Chemical Peels Are a Skin Game-Changer

Lift. Sculpt. Regenerate.Available at Shah Med Spa in Boston and Westwood At Shah Med Spa, Radiesse® offers a refined approach to facial and hand rejuvenation by combining instant volume with long-term collagen stimulation. Known for its lifting power and natural-looking results, Radiesse is a favorite among patients seeking firm, contoured skin with visible structure and definition. Under the care of Dr. Sajani Shah, patients receive tailored Radiesse treatments that not only enhance facial features but also support long-term skin regeneration for elegant, lasting results. What Is Radiesse? Radiesse® is an FDA-approved calcium-based dermal filler that provides immediate volume while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Its unique formula is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Over time, your body metabolizes the gel, leaving behind your own strengthened collagen matrix. This biostimulatory filler is ideal for individuals who want structure and lift without the puffiness that can sometimes result from softer hyaluronic acid fillers. What Areas Can Radiesse Treat? Cheeks and midface volume loss Jawline contouring and definition Marionette lines Pre-jowl sulcus Chin enhancement Hands (FDA-approved for volume restoration on the backs of hands) Neck and décolletage (hyperdiluted Radiesse for skin tightening and texture) Dr. Shah also uses hyperdiluted Radiesse for global skin rejuvenation—especially for patients looking to improve skin tone, elasticity, and crepey texture on the neck, chest, arms, and more. Why Choose Dr. Shah? Dr. Sajani Shah offers a sophisticated, tailored approach to Radiesse treatment. As an experienced surgeon and aesthetic physician, Dr. Shah understands both facial anatomy and aging dynamics, ensuring that every injection is both precise and artistic. Whether your goal is to lift, contour, or subtly rejuvenate, Dr. Shah personalizes your Radiesse plan to support natural, harmonious enhancement. What to Expect from Treatment Treatment Time: 30–45 minutes Comfort: Radiesse is mixed with lidocaine for comfort Downtime: Mild swelling or bruising for a few days; minimal downtime overall Results: Immediate lift and volume with continued collagen-building over 2–3 months Longevity: Results typically last 12–18 months, sometimes longer For optimal outcomes, we recommend a custom plan based on age, collagen quality, and treatment goals. Similar to our approach with other collagen stimulators, 1 syringe per decade of life is a helpful guide when addressing multiple areas or advanced volume loss. Common Questions About Radiesse How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid fillers? Radiesse is not a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. It is a biostimulatory filler that provides structure and encourages your body to produce its own collagen. Unlike HA fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse works to rebuild the skin from within, making it ideal for long-term skin integrity and contour. How soon will I see results? You’ll notice immediate volume and lift after injection. Over the next few weeks, as your body stimulates new collagen, your results continue to improve—leading to firmer, more youthful skin. How long does Radiesse last? Most patients enjoy results for 12 to 18 months. For skin rejuvenation treatments using hyperdiluted Radiesse, we may recommend 2–3 sessions spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance every 12–15 months. Is Radiesse safe? Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved and has been used safely worldwide. It is biosynthetically produced, meaning no animal products or allergy testing is required. When injected by an experienced physician like Dr. Shah, risks are minimal. Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments? Absolutely. Radiesse pairs beautifully with Morpheus8, PRP, microneedling, and other energy-based therapies for enhanced collagen remodeling and skin tightening. Dr. Shah often incorporates combination strategies for the most natural and long-lasting results. Is Radiesse only for the face? No. Radiesse is FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation and is widely used in a hyperdiluted form to rejuvenate the neck, chest, arms, abdomen, and even knees. It improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity in these areas without surgery. Now Available in Boston and Westwood Radiesse treatments are available at both our Boston and Westwood locations. Wherever you’re seen, you’ll receive the same physician-led care and customized attention that defines the Shah Med Spa experience.

Subtle. Gradual. Long-Lasting.Now offered at Shah Med Spa in Boston and Westwood At Shah Med Spa, we offer Sculptra® Aesthetic, a unique biostimulatory injectable designed to restore volume gradually by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra works deep within the skin to rebuild its underlying structure—creating smoother, firmer, and more youthful contours over time. With Dr. Sajani Shah’s expert approach to facial rejuvenation, our patients benefit from personalized Sculptra treatment plans that deliver refined, natural-looking results that last up to two years or more. What Is Sculptra? Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid) is an FDA-approved injectable that works as a collagen stimulator, helping your body rebuild lost facial volume over time. As we age, we lose collagen — a key structural protein responsible for firmness and elasticity. Sculptra addresses the root cause of facial aging by encouraging your own body to produce new collagen, restoring volume from within. This treatment is ideal for those looking for subtle, progressive improvement that enhances their appearance without the telltale signs of having had “work done.” What Does Sculptra Treat? Cheek hollows and volume loss Smile lines (nasolabial folds) Marionette lines Temples and midface Jawline definition General skin laxity and thinning Overall facial aging due to collagen loss Sculptra is also an excellent option for prejuvenation — maintaining youthful contours before major volume loss begins — and for patients seeking a longer-lasting alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers. Why Choose Dr. Shah? Dr. Sajani Shah brings a skilled, artistic approach to all injectable treatments. With her background in both aesthetic and surgical medicine, she understands the importance of facial harmony, subtlety, and long-term skin health. Dr. Shah carefully evaluates your facial structure, collagen density, and treatment goals before recommending Sculptra. Her method ensures gradual improvement that enhances—not alters—your natural beauty. What to Expect from Treatment Treatment Time: 30–45 minutes Comfort: Lidocaine is mixed into the solution for a more comfortable experience Downtime: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves in a few days Results: Gradual improvement over 6–12 weeks as new collagen is formed Longevity: Results can last up to 2 years or more with a full treatment series At Shah Med Spa, we typically recommend one vial of Sculptra per decade of life, spaced out over 2–3 sessions for optimal collagen stimulation and balanced volume restoration. For example, someone in their 40s would ideally receive 4 vials distributed across a customized treatment plan. This guideline ensures a natural, proportional result tailored to your skin’s unique needs. Common Questions About Sculptra How is Sculptra different from other fillers? Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which provide immediate volume by physically filling the area, Sculptra stimulates your body to build its own collagen over time. This means the results are more gradual and long-lasting — giving a naturally refreshed look without sudden changes. When will I see results? Sculptra results appear progressively over several weeks. You’ll notice a gradual softening of lines and improved volume and skin texture as collagen is rebuilt. This slow improvement is one of the reasons Sculptra looks so natural. How long do the results last? With a full treatment series, results can last up to 24 months or more. Many patients return once a year for maintenance to keep collagen levels high and aging at bay. Is Sculptra safe? Yes. Sculptra is FDA-approved and has been used globally for over 20 years. When injected by an experienced provider like Dr. Shah, it is extremely safe and well-tolerated. It does not contain animal products and does not require allergy testing. Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments? Absolutely. At Shah Med Spa, Sculptra is often combined with PRP, microneedling, laser treatments, or other injectables to address multiple signs of aging. Dr. Shah will create a tailored plan to meet your specific needs and aesthetic goals. Can it be used outside the face? Yes! Sculptra is also used for non-surgical buttock enhancement, improving skin texture on the décolletage, and smoothing cellulite dimples on the thighs. Please ask about body applications during your consultation. Available in Boston and Westwood We offer Sculptra treatments at both our Boston and Westwood locations.
