Collagen biostimulators

Collagen biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate the natural production of collagen by the skin.

Unlike other procedures that provide volume immediately, biostimulators act progressively, favouring that the body itself regenerates the skin structure and improves the firmness of the tissues.

Their main objective is to achieve a natural rejuvenation, respecting the anatomy and the characteristics of each patient.

Over the years, the production of collagen decreases, an essential protein for maintaining the firmness, elasticity and resistance of the skin.

Biostimulators activate the natural repair mechanisms of the body, favouring the formation of new collagen. As a consequence, the skin progressively improves in firmness, elasticity, density, quality and luminosity.

The results appear gradually.

Biostimulators are indicated to improve facial laxity, body laxity, loss of firmness, skin ageing, progressive loss of tissue support and the quality of the skin.

They are not designed to correct expression wrinkles or to provide large volumes.

Depending on the product and the medical indication, they can be used in:

• Face.
• Neck.
• Décolletage.
• Jaw.
• Temporal region.
• Arms.
• Abdomen.
• Buttocks.
• Thighs.
• Knees.

Each area requires a specific assessment.

Candidates may be patients who begin to notice laxity, wish to prevent skin ageing, seek to improve the quality of the skin, prefer progressive and natural results and do not want a significant increase in volume.

The indication always depends on the medical examination.

After analysing the anatomy and the needs of the patient, the doctor performs small injections using needles or cannulas, depending on the treated area.

The session usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. In most cases the patient can resume their usual activity the same day.

Biostimulators do not produce an immediate effect. The improvement appears progressively over the following weeks, as the body generates new collagen.

The results are usually clearly appreciated between 6 and 12 weeks, depending on the treatment and the individual characteristics.

The duration can vary according to the product used, age, metabolism, lifestyle habits and the treated area.

In many patients the results are maintained for more than a year, although maintenance sessions may be recommended.

They make it possible to improve firmness, rejuvenate the skin, increase skin quality, recover structural support, improve elasticity and obtain very natural results.

Their main advantage is that they stimulate the body's own mechanisms.

Like any medical procedure, mild and temporary side effects can appear: inflammation, redness, bruises, local sensitivity and discomfort for a few days.

Complications are infrequent when the treatment is performed by experienced doctors and following the appropriate indications.

After the treatment it is usually recommended to avoid intense physical exercise during the first 24 hours, avoid saunas and intense heat for one or two days, follow the specific recommendations indicated by the doctor and attend the scheduled check-ups.

The recommendations can vary according to the biostimulator used.

Yes. They are frequently combined with hyaluronic acid, neuromodulators, polynucleotides, skinboosters, medical lasers and medical peels.

Each treatment acts on a different aspect of ageing and their combination makes it possible to obtain more complete results.

It is advisable to request a medical assessment when you notice loss of firmness, observe facial or body laxity, wish to improve the quality of the skin or seek a progressive and natural rejuvenation.
