A good candidate for Biostimulators is someone in good overall health who is experiencing mild to moderate facial volume loss, wrinkles, or skin laxity. This treatment is ideal for those looking for gradual, long-term improvements rather than immediate results. Individuals with a history of allergic reactions to the ingredients in Biostimulators or those suffering from certain medical conditions should seek medical advice before treatment.
Results from Biostimulators typically begin to appear within weeks due to the stimulation of collagen production. Full results are usually visible after several months, as the body continues to build new collagen. The gradual improvement provides a natural-looking enhancement over time.
The results of Biostimulators can last up to two years or more, and they can vary from person to person depending on their metabolism and skin condition. Regular maintenance treatments can help to sustain the desired results.
Biostimulators generally involve minimal downtime. Normal activities can usually be resumed right after the treatment. Injection site side effects can include swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolve within a few days. More serious side effects are rare but should be discussed with your provider before treatment.
Before receiving Biostimulators, it’s recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications, supplements, and alcohol for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of bruising. Do not touch or massage the treated area after the treatment, and refrain from strenuous activities for the first 24 hours. Follow your provider’s specific post-care instructions to ensure optimal results.
During a Biostimulators treatment, a healthcare professional cleans and numbs the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Using a fine needle, the Biostimulator is injected into targeted areas beneath the skin. In general, the procedure takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Discomfort is usually minimal, and most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
