Biostimulators
Collagen biostimulators are advanced injectable treatments designed to stimulate the natural production of collagen in your body, leading to gradual and lasting skin rejuvenation. By stimulating collagen beneath the surface, lost volume is restored, wrinkles are smoothed, and natural contours are enhanced. Its unique ability to encourage skin regeneration offers an improvement in skin firmness and elasticity. This treatment offers a safe and non-surgical approach to regenerate the skin with natural, progressive, and lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are biostimulators and how do they work?
Biostimulators are injectable compounds that stimulate fibroblast cells, naturally improving collagen production in the body, which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. The gradual increase in collagen restores lost volume, smoothing wrinkles and progressively rejuvenating the quality of the skin with long-lasting effects.
The compounds used in aesthetic medicine are:
Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA): is a biocompatible substance that stimulates collagen production by encouraging 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 and refreshed appearance.
These bio-stimulators offer a comprehensive and non-surgical approach to natural skin rejuvenation.
How long after the treatment will I see the effect of the bio-stimulators?
The rejuvenating effects of bio-stimulators appear 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 in the months following as natural collagen production increases, providing natural and lasting results with smoother, firmer skin.
How long will the effects of the bio-stimulators last?
The effects of bio-stimulators can last up to two years or more. For the best and longest-lasting results, two or 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.
Face
Bio-stimulators help improve overall facial contours and restore lost volume. Their collagen-stimulating properties gradually improve skin firmness, providing a natural and rejuvenated appearance while smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
Body
For body contouring, bio-stimulators offer targeted collagen stimulation that helps tighten and tone the skin. Their gradual action can improve skin texture and lift sagging areas, promoting a more youthful and contoured shape. Popular treatment areas include:
- Neck: Improves skin texture and reduces fine lines.
- Décolleté: Increases skin firmness and smoothness.
- Arms: Tightens and firms loose skin, especially on the upper arm.

Is a treatment with biostimulators painful?
Treatment with biostimulators is generally well-tolerated and causes minimal discomfort. To maintain your comfort, we use lidocaine as an anesthetic agent, fine needles, and precision syringes. Some patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, often described as a slight pinching sensation. Since the perception of pain varies from person to person, inform our doctor if you are particularly sensitive to pain. We can use ice, anesthetic cream, or other measures to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.
Are there any side effects of biostimulators?
Biostimulator treatments are generally safe and well-tolerated. Minor reactions such as redness, mild bruising, or swelling may sometimes occur after the injection, but they usually disappear within a few days. Our doctors will inform you about the possible side effects during the consultation and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your treatment.
When should you be cautious with a biostimulator treatment?
We do not perform any treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk to our doctor during the consultation if you have allergies, lidocaine intolerance, underlying diseases, or previous reactions.
How long does a biostimulator treatment take?
All our treatments begin with a free consultation and evaluation. Together with our doctor, you will discuss different options and find the ideal treatment for your desired outcome. You can expect your appointment to last around 45 minutes, including the consultation and the treatment.
