Biostimulators
Collagen biostimulators are advanced injectable treatments designed to stimulate your body's natural collagen production, leading to gradual and long-lasting skin rejuvenation. By stimulating collagen beneath the surface, lost volume is restored, smoothing wrinkles and enhancing natural contours. Its unique ability to promote skin regeneration offers improved skin firmness and elasticity. This treatment offers a safe, non-surgical approach to skin regeneration with natural, progressive and long-lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are biostimulators and how do they work?
Biostimulators are injectable compounds that stimulate fibroblast cells naturally enhancing collagen production in the body, essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. The gradual increase of collagen restores lost volume, smoothing wrinkles and progressively rejuvenating skin quality with long-lasting effects.
The compounds used in aesthetic medicine are:
Polylactic Acid (PLLA): is a biocompatible substance that stimulates collagen production by promoting fibroblast activity in the skin. Its gradual action makes it ideal for subtly restoring volume and improving skin texture over several treatment sessions.
Calcium Hydroxyapatite: This compound consists of tiny biocompatible microspheres that promote collagen production over time. It provides a natural-looking lift while supporting the skin's structure, helping to achieve a youthful, renewed appearance.
These biostimulators offer a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to natural skin rejuvenation.
How long after treatment will I see the effect of the biostimulators?
The rejuvenating effects of biostimulators show gradually over time. Although their immediate effects are not as obvious as those of other injectable treatments, you will begin to notice subtle changes within a few weeks.
These improvements continue to progress over the following months as natural collagen production increases, providing natural, long-lasting results with smoother, firmer skin.
How long will the effects of biostimulators last?
The effects of biostimulators can last up to two years or more. For the best and longest lasting results, two to three treatment sessions are generally recommended, depending on your specific needs and goals. Each session further stimulates collagen production, smoothing wrinkles and restoring lost volume.
What areas can be treated with biostimulators?
Biostimulators offer a versatile and innovative approach to skin rejuvenation, and can be used for treatments on the face and various areas of the body.

Some patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, often described as a slight prickling sensation. Since the perception of pain varies from person to person, inform our physician if you are particularly sensitive to pain. We may use ice, anesthetic cream or other measures to ensure that the experience is as comfortable as possible.

Biostimulator treatments are generally safe and well tolerated. Minor reactions such as redness, mild bruising or swelling can sometimes occur after the injection, but usually disappear within a few days.
