Biostimulators are injectable treatments that stimulate your body’s own collagen production, helping to restore volume, improve skin texture, and rejuvenate your appearance over time. They’re ideal for those seeking natural, long-lasting results without the “filled” look.

How do Biostimulators work?

Biostimulators - such as poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra), calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), and polycaprolactone (Ellansé)—are injected into the skin where they act as a scaffold, encouraging fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.

Unlike dermal fillers, which add immediate volume, biostimulators work gradually. Over weeks to months, they rebuild the skin’s internal structure, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. The results are subtle, progressive, and beautifully natural.

What are the benefits of Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are a favourite for patients who want long-term rejuvenation without frequent top-ups. Here’s why they’re so loved:

• Stimulate natural collagen production

• Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and texture

• Restore facial volume gradually

• Minimise fine lines and wrinkles

• Results can last 24 months, depending on the product used

• Minimal downtime and no “overdone” look

They’re especially effective in areas like the cheeks, temples and mid face—places where volume loss and skin laxity are most noticeable.

What are the risks with Biostimulators?

While generally safe, biostimulators do come with some considerations:

• Swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site (usually mild and temporary)

• Nodules or lumps under the skin if aftercare not followed correctly

• Delayed inflammatory reactions, though rare, can occur weeks or months later

• Not suitable for areas with thin skin, like under the eyes or lips

Choosing an experienced medical practitioner is essential to ensure safe placement and optimal results.

Are Biostimulators right for me?

If you’re looking for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation and are happy with results that build over time, biostimulators could be a perfect fit. They’re ideal for:

• Clients in their 30s to 70s experiencing volume loss or skin laxity

• Those who want to avoid frequent top-ups

• People seeking subtle, regenerative results rather than instant volume

A full consultation will determine the best product and treatment plan for your goals and skin type.

Those with inflammatory medical conditions may not be suitable.
