Biostimulators
As we age, the skin gradually loses the collagen and structural support that keep it firm, full and youthful. Biostimulators are an injectable treatment that addresses this at the source, triggering the body's own collagen production for progressive, long lasting improvement that develops naturally over time.
What Are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that work by stimulating the body's own collagen producing cells rather than simply adding volume to a specific area. Once injected, the product integrates with the surrounding tissue and gradually activates new collagen growth, improving skin firmness, structure and quality from within over a period of weeks and months.
At Bella Sante MD, we offer leading biostimulator options including Sculptra and Radiesse, selected based on your individual skin concerns and the results you are looking to achieve.
How Biostimulators Work
Biostimulators are injected into targeted areas where collagen loss has contributed to volume depletion, skin laxity or loss of definition. The product acts as a scaffold within the tissue, prompting the body to produce new collagen around it. As collagen builds over time, the skin becomes progressively firmer, smoother and more supported.
