Biostimulant fillers are a type of dermal filler used in aesthetic medicine to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the face. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily add volume to specific areas of the face, biostimulant fillers work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual and long-lasting improvements in skin quality and texture. These fillers typically contain bioactive ingredients such as calcium hydroxyapatite or PLLA (Poly L Lactic acid) which are thought to promote collagen synthesis and tissue regeneration. By providing a supportive matrix for collagen production, biostimulant fillers can help improve skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration, as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Results are expected in 3-6 months after treatment. Biostimulant fillers are often used to address various facial concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Biostimulant fillers can help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth.
- Loss of facial volume: While biostimulant fillers may not provide the same level of immediate volume enhancement as traditional fillers, they can help restore facial volume over time by stimulating collagen production and improving skin quality.
- Skin laxity: Biostimulant fillers can help tighten and firm sagging skin, particularly in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
- Uneven skin texture: Biostimulant fillers can improve skin texture and tone by promoting collagen synthesis and cellular turnover, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.
Overall, biostimulant fillers offer a gradual and natural approach to facial rejuvenation, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin quality for long-lasting results. As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if biostimulant fillers are suitable for your individual needs and goals.
