Collagen Biostimulators
These are injectable substances (such as polylactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, or polycaprolactone) that activate fibroblasts to regenerate the skin's own collagen and elastin. They offer gradual, natural, and long-lasting rejuvenation (18-24 months), ideal for treating sagging skin, improving texture, and firming the skin on the face, neck, and body without fillers.
Key aspects of biostimulators
They don't fill immediately; they stimulate the body to produce type I and III collagen, improving firmness and elasticity from within.
Main types
-
Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxyapatite): Provides a lifting and firming effect.
-
Sculptra (Polylactic Acid - PLLA): Excellent for facial volume and improving texture.
-
Ellansé (Polycaprolactone): Stimulates long-term collagenesis.
Results
Progressive, with noticeable changes from the first few weeks that improve over time.
Duration
Generally between 18 and 24 months, depending on the material.
Benefits
They redefine the facial oval, smooth fine wrinkles and improve laxity in the neck, décolleté, arms and buttocks.
