Dermal Fillers & Biostimulators
Fillers and biostimulators are not about adding volume for volume’s sake. They’re about restoring what time has taken — intelligently, naturally, and with the anatomical precision of a physician. At [ Skin + Tonic ], Dr. Candice Fortunato administers or directly supervises every injection. No sausage lips. No overfilled faces. Just a refreshed version of you.
What's the difference between fillers and biostimulators?
Fillers (HA-based) add immediate volume by physically filling the space. Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse) trigger your own collagen production for gradual, structural results. Dr. Fortunato often recommends a combination approach — biostimulators for foundational improvement, HA fillers for precise targeted correction.

other areas
Don’t forget your hands and neck, they have stunning results with biostimulators like Radiesse and Sculptra.
Is filler reversible?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible with hyaluronidase enzyme. Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse) and PDO threads are not reversible — which is another reason physician assessment before treatment is essential.
biostimulator fillers
Radiesse and Sculptra are bio stimulator fillers that act to increase your own collagen production.

Dr. Fortunato is so precise on every procedure she has performed on me. I trust her wholeheartedly! I have been getting Botox for 10 years from several different companies and she has given me the best results! I won’t go anywhere else! And she has the most amazing personality to boot!

For a male to have anything medically aesthetic done, this was a great experience. Any guys out there thinking that this is just for females, think again. My fivehead just became a forehead again. Thanks Dr. Fortunato! BroTox...

Dr Fortunato was amazing. At age 60 I have never had Botox before but felt like I could use a little boost. Dr Fortunato came highly recommended. She was thorough and gentle. I was so pleased with what I had done and received many compliments. I will definitely be going back.
