Bio-stimulators

• Sculptra (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)

Sculptra is one of the most well-known bio-stimulants. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a synthetic material that has been used in medical applications for over 30 years. Sculptra works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production. It is typically used to treat deep wrinkles, folds, and volume loss in the face. The results develop gradually over several months and can last for up to two years or more.

• Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)

Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen production for long-term results. Radiesse is commonly used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, as well as volume loss in the hands. The results can last for up to 18 months.

• PDO Threads (Polydioxanone)

PDO threads are absorbable sutures made from polydioxanone. They are used in thread lift procedures to lift and tighten sagging skin. The threads stimulate collagen production as they are absorbed by the body, resulting in improved skin texture and firmness. The results of PDO thread lifts can last for up to two years.

• Long-Lasting Results

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide immediate but temporary results, bio-stimulators offer long-lasting improvements. The stimulation of collagen and elastin production means that the effects can last for several years.

• Natural-Looking Results

Since biostimulators work by enhancing the body's natural processes, the results are subtle and natural-looking. Patients can achieve a rejuvenated appearance without looking "overdone."

• Minimal Downtime

Bio-stimulator treatments typically involve minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

• Versatility

Bio-stimulators can be used to address a variety of aesthetic concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and skin laxity. They are suitable for use on the face, neck, hands, and other areas of the body.

• Safety

Bio-stimulators are made from biocompatible and biodegradable materials, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. They are absorbed by the body over time, making them a safe option for most patients.
