What are Biostimulator Injections?
Biostimulator injections, often referred to as dermal fillers or injectable fillers, are a type of aesthetic treatment that involves injecting substances into the skin to stimulate collagen production and restore volume to specific areas of the face and body. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate volume by physically filling wrinkles and hollow areas, biostimulators work by triggering the body’s natural collagen production processes over time. We utilize Sculptra and Radiesse.
Common Aesthetic Concerns Addressed by Biostimulator Injections:
- Wrinkles
- Facial volume loss
- Sagging skin
- Facial contouring
- Acne scars
- Cellulite reduction
How do Biostimulator Injections Work?
Biostimulator injections, also known as collagen-stimulating injections, work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is a protein in the skin that provides structure, elasticity, and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to the development of wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss.
Here’s how biostimulator injections work:
Product Injection: A biostimulator product, typically composed of biocompatible materials like calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), is injected into specific areas of the face or body using a fine needle.
Tissue Irritation: The injected product creates a controlled irritation or injury in the targeted area. This irritation triggers the body’s natural healing response.
Collagen Production: In response to the irritation, the body begins to produce collagen in the treated area. This newly generated collagen gradually replaces the injected product and provides structural support to the skin.
Results Over Time: Unlike some dermal fillers that offer immediate results by adding volume, the effects of biostimulator injections develop gradually. Patients typically notice improvements in skin texture, firmness, and volume over several weeks to months.
Long-Lasting Results: Biostimulator injections offer long-lasting results because the newly produced collagen continues to improve skin quality even after the initial product is absorbed by the body. The duration of results can vary depending on the specific product used but often lasts a year or more.
Natural-Looking Results: Since biostimulators encourage the body’s natural collagen production, the results appear gradual and natural, avoiding an overfilled or artificial appearance.
Biostimulator injections are versatile and can be used to address various aesthetic concerns, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking non-surgical facial and body rejuvenation. The treatment’s gradual approach and long-lasting effects make it an attractive option for those looking to enhance their appearance over time.
Benefits of Biostimulator Injections:
- Collagen Stimulation: Biostimulator injections stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which helps improve skin quality, firmness, and elasticity over time.
- Gradual and Natural Results: Unlike some dermal fillers that provide immediate but temporary results, biostimulator injections offer gradual and natural-looking improvements. This leads to a more subtle and harmonious enhancement.
- Long-Lasting Effects: The effects of biostimulator injections can last a year or more, making them a cost-effective option for individuals looking for sustained results.
- Versatility: Biostimulator injections can be used to address various aesthetic concerns, including wrinkle reduction, volume restoration, and skin texture improvement. They are suitable for both facial and body treatments.
- Non-Surgical: Biostimulator injections are a non-surgical option, avoiding the need for incisions or extensive downtime associated with surgical procedures.
- Minimized Risks: These injections are generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with minimal risk of allergic reactions since they are often composed of biocompatible materials.
- Customizable Treatment Plans: Our providers can tailor biostimulator injection treatments to meet each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals.
- Minimal Discomfort: Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, with little to no downtime required.
- Natural-Looking Results: Since biostimulators encourage the body’s own collagen production, the results appear natural and avoid the overfilled or artificial appearance sometimes associated with dermal fillers.
- Skin Quality Improvement: Beyond adding volume, biostimulator injections can enhance overall skin quality, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a more youthful and radiant complexion.
The Science Behind Biostimulator Injections:
Biostimulator injections, like Sculptra and Radiesse, work by introducing biocompatible materials into the skin. These materials prompt the body’s natural healing response, causing fibroblasts to generate more collagen. Collagen is a vital protein that supports skin structure and elasticity. This process gradually rejuvenates the treated area, enhancing skin texture, volume, and overall appearance. Results develop slowly over weeks to months, offering a natural look that can last a year or more.
