Many patients are now looking for ways to rejuvenate how they look without the addition of extra volume. Innovation in aesthetics has given rise to new products that use our body’s natural biology to stimulate the cells that are responsible for keeping skin looking youthful.
Biostimulators are amongst the products that can help us restore our natural beauty, from the outside in.
What are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable aesthetics products that work deep within the skin. The microparticles in the product stimulate fibroblasts and help to restore lost collagen.
Collagen is one of the building blocks of our skin, as we age the amount of collagen we have reduces. This leads to a loss in hydration and elasticity, leaving skin looking dull, wrinkled and tired.
What do Biostimulators do?
Biostimulators work to restore the inner structure of the face. As the results from a biostimulator treatment start to show you will notice a reduction in lines and wrinkles, smoother, tighter, firmer more supple looking skin. Your overall skin tone and quality will also improve as the product attracts hydration to the areas that have been injected.
What is the difference between dermal fillers and biostimulators?
Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid which is injected and instantly adds volume to the face. Biostimulators don’t add additional volume but activate your cell biology to smooth out your skin in a more natural looking way.
When will I see results from a Biostimulator treatment?
Unlike dermal fillers, the results from a biostimulator treatment will occur gradually. It takes time for the product to stimulate your unique regenerative process. Depending on the product used it can take 2 weeks to a month before you start to see the product working.
How long will results last?
The product that is used will determine how long the results will last, but in many patients we see results lasting up to, and sometimes beyond 2 years.
