Biostimulators
What are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. They offer a non-surgical way to rejuvenate the skin and restore youthful volume. These treatments use compounds like poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra), calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), and other biocompatible materials that gradually stimulate the body’s natural processes for skin rejuvenation and volume restoration.
The most common biostimulator we use is Sculptra®.
Benefits of Biostimulators
Collagen Boost: They help improve skin texture, skin tightness, and elasticity by stimulating collagen production.
Volume Restoration: Biostimulators are effective at restoring volume to areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Natural Results: The effects are gradual and natural, providing subtle, long-lasting improvements.
Non-surgical: It’s a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime.
Treatment Areas
Face: Can be used on various facial areas like the cheeks and jawline to address volume loss.
Neck & Décolletage: Biostimulators can also improve skin tone and texture in these areas, helping to address signs of aging.
Hands: They can help restore volume and reduce visible signs of aging in the hands.
What to Expect
Consultation
During your initial consultation, our expert provider will begin with an in-depth assessment, discuss your goals, and create an individualized treatment plan to achieve desired results.
Treatment
The length of a biostimulator treatment session can vary depending on several factors, including the number of areas being treated and the complexity of the procedure. However, on average, the procedure typically takes around 30-60 minutes. During this time, the practitioner will carefully inject the biostimulator into the targeted areas. Your treatment time will include numbing to ensure a more comfortable experience.
Post-Treatment
Mild swelling, bruising, or redness are most commonly noted post treatment and typically resolve in a few days but it is recommended to allow a full 2 weeks to resolve. We will provide you with post-care instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
FAQs
When can I start to see results?
Results are gradual with biostimulators as it focuses on stimulating your own natural collagen and elastin. You can begin to see results as early as 4 weeks, with peak effect becoming visible in 3-6 months.
How long will my results last?
Results are indicated to last up to 2 years.
How many treatments will I need?
The amount of sessions required varies per patient, though we recommend 2 to 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve optimal results. These follow-up treatments help stimulate collagen production over time for a more gradual and natural improvement.
Are biostimulators safe?
Yes, biostimulators are FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a licensed, experienced trained provider. Our team follows strict safety protocols to ensure your well-being throughout the treatment process.
Is the treatment painful?
Many practitioners apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Additionally, some biostimulators contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, which can help make the injections more comfortable. Most people find the process well-tolerated.
