Biostimulators Explained

Biostimulators Explained

Collagen from Within for a Natural, Lasting Lift

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide instant volume by placing a gel beneath the skin, biostimulators take a different approach. These injectable treatments work by stimulating your skin’s natural production of collagen over time, helping to restore structure, smooth wrinkles, and subtly lift the face in a way that looks entirely natural and unique to you.

If you’ve been seeking a more gradual, long-lasting solution to volume loss or skin laxity, biostimulators are worth a closer look.

What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators like Sculptra® and Radiesse® are injectable treatments designed to activate your body’s ability to regenerate collagen.

  • Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable substance that has been safely used in medical settings for decades.
  • Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel, which provide initial volume and continue working under the skin to stimulate collagen production.
Both treatments are excellent for patients who want a soft, natural improvement in facial volume and contour, especially in areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, or even the neck and hands.

How Fast Will I See Results?

Biostimulators are not quick fixes. Unlike traditional fillers, you won’t walk out of the clinic with instant volume. Instead, the magic happens gradually. As your skin begins to build collagen, the treated areas become firmer, smoother, and subtly lifted. Most patients begin to see results within 4 to 6 weeks, with improvements continuing for several months.

The payoff? Results that can last 12 to 24 months, depending on the product used and your individual response.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Biostimulators are ideal for patients experiencing early to moderate volume loss who prefer a more natural, regenerative approach. They are also perfect for those who want to maintain results over time without returning every few months for touch-ups.
