At Dermagiz, we believe in a medical aesthetic approach founded on science, personalization, and safe technologies. If you wish to improve your skin’s appearance while stimulating its long-term vitality, the facial biostimulant treatment is an innovative and natural solution that meets the needs of mature skin as well as serving as a preventative measure.
What is a Facial Biostimulant?
A facial biostimulant is an agent injected under the skin with the mission of stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. . Unlike traditional fillers that add volume immediately, biostimulators work in depth, progressively, to improve the quality of the skin, its density, and its firmness.
The two most commonly used biostimulants are:
- Sculptra®: based on poly-L-lactic acid
- Radiesse® : based on calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA)
Why Stimulate Your Collagen?
With age, the natural production of collagen slows down starting around the age of 25. This loss leads to a decrease in skin density, the appearance of wrinkles, sagging tissues, and a less radiant complexion. Biostimulant injections help to awaken the skin from within by reactivating the fibroblasts responsible for collagen synthesis.
This treatment is therefore ideal for those looking for a lasting, natural improvement without artificial volume enhancement.
