The Role of Biostimulators in Aesthetic Treatments

In the quest for natural-looking facial rejuvenation, biostimulators have emerged as a powerful tool in aesthetic treatments. Biostimulators, such as Sculptra, stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in long-lasting and natural-looking results. At Subtle Aesthetics, we specialize in biostimulator treatments to help our clients achieve youthful and refreshed appearances. In this blog, we’ll explore the role of biostimulators in aesthetic treatments, how they work, and what you can expect during the treatment process.


What are Biostimulators?


Understanding the Basics


Biostimulators are injectables that encourage the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide immediate volume by filling in wrinkles and lines, biostimulators work gradually to rebuild the skin’s structural foundation. Sculptra, one of the most well-known biostimulators, contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable substance that helps stimulate collagen production.


How Biostimulators Work


When injected into the skin, biostimulators stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen. This process gradually improves skin texture, volume, and elasticity over several months. The results are subtle and natural-looking, as the skin’s own collagen is restored and strengthened.


Benefits of Biostimulators


Natural-Looking Results


One of the primary benefits of biostimulators is their ability to provide natural-looking results. As the body’s own collagen is stimulated, the improvements in skin texture and volume are gradual and subtle, avoiding the “overfilled” look that can sometimes occur with traditional fillers.


Long-Lasting Effects


Biostimulators offer long-lasting effects, with results that can persist for up to two years. As collagen production continues to increase over time, the skin remains rejuvenated and youthful.


Versatility


Biostimulators are versatile and can be used to treat various areas of the face, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and nasolabial folds. They are also effective for addressing volume loss and improving skin texture in other areas, such as the neck and décolletage.


The Biostimulator Treatment Process


Consultation


Before undergoing biostimulator treatment, you will have a comprehensive consultation with one of our expert practitioners at Subtle Aesthetics. During this consultation, we will assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if biostimulators are the right solution for you.


Preparation


On the day of the treatment, the targeted areas will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort. This ensures a comfortable experience during the injections.


Injection Procedure


The biostimulator is administered through a series of small injections into the targeted areas. The number of injections needed will depend on the treatment area and your desired results. The procedure typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes.


Post-Treatment Care


After the injections, you may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and should subside within a few days. It is important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results.


What to Expect After Biostimulator Treatment


Gradual Improvement


The results of biostimulator treatments are gradual, with most clients noticing improvements in their skin texture and volume over several months. Collagen production continues to increase over time, leading to further enhancements in skin elasticity and firmness.


Long-Lasting Results


As mentioned earlier, the effects of biostimulators are long-lasting, with results that can persist for up to two years. To maintain the results, follow-up treatments may be recommended based on your individual needs.


Minimal Downtime


One of the key benefits of biostimulators is that they involve minimal downtime. You can typically resume your regular activities shortly after the treatment, although it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for at least 24 hours.


Is Biostimulator Treatment Right for You?


Ideal Candidates


Biostimulators are suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture, volume, and elasticity with natural-looking results. It is important to have realistic expectations and be in overall good health.


Consultation is Key
