Biostimulators are injectable treatments that encourage the body to produce collagen, which gives skin its structure, strength and firmness. They can improve facial volume, soften wrinkles and enhance skin quality over time. Common examples include Sculptra®, which contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and Radiesse®, which contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). Their effects, treatment schedules and suitable injection areas differ.
Ageing and weight loss can leave the face looking less full, with deeper folds and reduced skin firmness. Patients may seek biostimulator treatment to restore a refreshed appearance through gradual, natural-looking changes. Biostimulators are injectables that stimulates your skin’s own collagen production, restoring volume and reducing the signs of aging over time.
Biostimulator treatment is a nonsurgical procedure in which a selected product is injected beneath the skin to support tissue and stimulate collagen production. Biostimulators work gradually to rebuild lost facial volume and improve skin elasticity. This process enhances facial contours and softens wrinkles and folds over time, delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results that can last up to two years or more. The product and technique are chosen according to your anatomy and treatment goals.

Your consultation includes an assessment of your facial structure, skin quality and goals. Dr Gus will review your medical history, allergies, medication and previous cosmetic treatments, then explain the likely benefits, limitations and risks. Photographs may be taken to document your progress.
You will receive instructions specific to the chosen product. Inform Dr Gus about blood-thinning medication, supplements, previous fillers and any tendency to develop raised scars. Do not stop prescribed medication without advice from the prescribing doctor.
The skin is cleaned, and local anaesthetic may be used to improve comfort. The product is injected into selected areas. You may feel brief stinging or pressure. Your treatment plan will depend on your response and the amount of correction required.
Immediately after treatment
Mild swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising are common. Most patients can resume light daily activities soon afterwards, although visible swelling or bruising may affect social plans.

Hyaluronic acid fillers mainly provide volume through the injected gel. Biostimulators encourage collagen production. There is some overlap: Some biostimulators provides immediate filling as well as biostimulation.
Biostimulator results develop gradually over weeks to months, as the skin produces new collagen.
Products have different schedules, and the number of sessions is tailored to your goals and response.
Results can last up to two years and longer. Duration varies with the product, treatment area and individual response. Maintenance may be needed.
They may help with early signs of ageing or complement surgery. Significant sagging or excess skin may require a surgical approach to achieve the desired correction.
A private, no-obligation consultation with Dr. Gus is the first step. Come with questions, leave with clarity. We keep availability limited to ensure every patient receives undivided attention.
