Collagen biostimulators are modern injectable treatments used in aesthetic medicine to stimulate natural collagen production and improve skin firmness.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, which provides immediate volume, biostimulators work over time, regenerating the skin from within.
What are collagen biostimulators
Biostimulators are injectable substances that:
- stimulate collagen production
- improve skin elasticity
- restore tissue firmness and structure
👉 They do not directly "fill" wrinkles, but rather cause the skin to regenerate naturally at its own pace.
Types of biostimulators
The most commonly used are:
- polylactic acid (PLLA)
- calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA)
- polynucleotides (in some cases)
👉 Each has different indications and mechanisms.
How it works
After injection:
- the substance stimulates fibroblasts
- collagen production increases
- the skin becomes firmer and more elastic
👉 Results appear progressively, over several weeks or months.
What they are recommended for
Biostimulators are effective for:
- skin laxity
- facial volume loss
- fine and moderate wrinkles
- facial contour definition
- overall facial rejuvenation
How the procedure is performed
The procedure lasts approximately 30–45 minutes.
- Facial evaluation
- Disinfection of the treatment area
- Product injection
- Light massage (in some cases)
👉 Local anesthesia can be used for additional comfort.
When do results appear
- progressively within 4–8 weeks
- maximum effect after several months
