Improve skin laxity and severe crepiness
Unlike hyaluronic acid or collagen-based dermal fillers, our bio-stimulator uses Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) to stimulate collagen production. Collagen, a key protein in the body, provides skin with a youthful structure and maintains the strength of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As we age, collagen levels diminish, leading to dry and thin skin with wrinkles. A collagen biostimulator renews the skin's structure and restores lost volume by activating the body's natural collagen production, resulting in a firmer, plumper appearance. This natural-looking treatment is suitable for the face, neck, and body, with the added versatility of enhancing buttocks, reducing hip dips, and improving cellulite. The results typically last for two years or more.
Frequently asked questions
What are collagen bio-stimulators made from?
Our bio-stimulator, unlike hyaluronic acid or collagen-based dermal fillers, is composed of Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), a synthetic lactic acid derivative that boosts collagen production.
What is collagen?
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the human body, contributing to the structural integrity of the skin and the strength of bones, in addition to its presence in muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs, blood vessels, and other bodily structures.
As you age, the production of collagen naturally diminishes. The reduction in collagen levels can lead to visible signs of aging, such as drier, thinner skin, along with the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
How do bio-stimulators improve the skin?
A collagen biostimulator effectively addresses the indications of aging by stimulating the body's natural collagen production. This process restores the skin's underlying structure and replenishes lost volume in the targeted area, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
What is the difference between bio-stimulators and dermal filler?
Our bio-stimulators and dermal fillers serve the common purpose of combating signs of ageing while delivering a natural appearance, although there are slight distinctions between these two treatments. Collagen bio-stimulator injections focus on enhancing skin firmness, structure, and tone by stimulating collagen production in specific areas. In contrast, dermal fillers employ hyaluronic acid to address wrinkles, augment lips, and more. There are scenarios where both biostimulators and dermal fillers can be combined, but it is advisable to explore this option during an appointment with one of our cosmetic injectors.
Are bio-stimulators only used on the face?
Bio-stimulators are versatile and can be applied to various body regions where you aim to boost collagen levels. A substantial number of our patients opt for these injections to minimise the apparent signs of ageing in different facial areas, including the cheeks, jawline, and temples. The neck is a favoured choice for some, given that it frequently exhibits signs of ageing before other body parts.
How long will my bio-stimulators last?
Although our bio-stimulator treatments are not permanent, they yield enduring results, typically eliminating the need for additional treatments for a span of two years or more following the initial session.
What can I expect after the procedure?
It's common for the injected area to exhibit slight swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which is entirely normal. Your cosmetic injector will provide guidance on any necessary post-treatment care, including recommended massaging of the treated area at specific intervals and instructions to refrain from other cosmetic treatments for a designated period.
Can bio-stimulators be dissolved?
Bio-stimulator injections are non-reversible, and their effects cannot be dissolved. Once your body initiates the absorption of the bio-stimulator, it triggers increased collagen production in your skin.
Can I receive treatment while breast feeding?
It is generally recommended to avoid undergoing cosmetic procedures, including bio stimulating injections, while breastfeeding.
