BIOSTIMULATORS

•       Increase the production of new collagen and elastin in the skin
•       We can tailor the treatment to your skin type, skin age and skin health
•       Boosts hydration in the skin for better skin health and skin quality
•       Reduces some of the signs of visible ageing such as sagging skin, and lines and wrinkles
•       Can help tighten the skin giving you a more youthful look
•       Good to start in your late 20s and early 30s when collagen levels in the skin start to decrease
•       You can combine biostimulators with other skin treatments based on your skin’s needs

Normally, it takes time to show results and 2-3 treatments with an interval of 6-8 weeks are usually required to get the full effect. The process of collagen production triggered by biostimulator doesn’t happen overnight. It is true that some patients notice an immediate change in their fullness and skin condition, however, most patients will start noticing results around 6 weeks after the first treatment and a more significant improvement after the second one.

Yes you can and that helps to deliver a fabulous result. As long as they are not performed in the same areas on the same day, that’s not a problem. It is fantastic to use Biostimulator more laterally in the temples, pre auricular area and lower cheeks and treat the upper cheeks, nasolabial folds and chin with dermal fillers for instance. However, an area treated with dermal fillers previously will require at least 6 months until it can be treated with Biostimulator and vice versa. This is a cautious measure to help preventing complications and the formation of lumps and bumps.

The side effects most commonly noted with Biostimulator are normally related to the injections themselves.

They are:

• Bruising
• Swelling
• Tenderness and
• Redness

The rare side effects include nodules, granulomas, skin discolouration, scarring and infection. In order to minimise that, the biostimulator should only be administered by an experienced injector who’s trained well at performing Biostimulator. To prevent any side effects it’s essential the patient to follow the aftercare by performing the massages, not applying any make up for at least 12 hours after the treatment, not ingesting any alcoholic beverages for 24 hours and not exercising for 24 hours.

Biostimulation treatments are contraindicated to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding; patients who are allergic to lidocaine; patients with multiple allergies and history of anaphylaxis and patients with active inflammation or infection.

The longevity of any treatment depends on several factors and we do recommend Biostimulation  as an ongoing anti-aging treatment. Biostimulation can last for an average of 1-2 years and there are patients that experience the effects for up to 5 years.
