BIOSTIMULATORS

WHAT ARE THEY?

Having firmer, textured skin with just the right amount of glow and without expression marks are the main desires of those who care about well-being and self-esteem. And to respond to these concerns, there is a new method that is gaining more space in FACIAL REJUVENATION: the use of collagen bio-stimulators.

Bio-stimulators are substances that stimulate the natural and biological production of collagen when injected into certain layers of the skin. Collagen is one of the most common proteins in the human body, whose function is to keep cells together, firm and elastic.

From the age of 30, the production of this protein decreases, which is part of the natural processes of the body. However, excessive sun exposure, intense physical exercise, pollution and smoking can accelerate this process.

When collagen is lost, naturally, the face looks more tired, flaccid and with expression lines.

Therefore, the application of bio-stimulators comes to favor the formation of new proteins. This will provide a recovery of the firmness lost over the years and an improvement in the quality of the skin.

How will the result be?

Biostimulators are very pleasant for patients, because they promote the rejuvenating effect, in a natural and progressive way.

They are being widely used in orofacial harmonization processes  and help to gently recover facial volume, improve flaccidity and reduce wrinkles and expression marks.

The effects of biostimulators are gradual and long-lasting, since the body continues to produce collagen for up to 6 months after treatment, and can be seen 4/6 weeks after the first session. In addition, it is recommended that the sessions be repeated every 30/60 days.

However, to achieve the expected result, it is important to remember that you must seek a good professional. Only an experienced doctor like Dr. Magda will know the best substance to apply, the number of sessions, and the frequency with which to repeat the procedure.

What are the risks of collagen biostimulators?

It is an outpatient and minimally invasive procedure with minimal risk. The application of biostimulators is very simple and can be done in a doctor office. A micro-cannula is used to insert the substance at specific points on the face. However, like any injected cosmetic procedure, bruising and swelling of the skin is possible.

In most cases, it is not necessary to rest after the application. Just avoid physical exertion for 1-2 days and stay away from swimming pools and saunas to reduce the risk of contamination.

Although it is a very simple procedure, you should look for an experienced specialist with excellent recommendations.​

 

With the necessary care, it is possible to carry out the treatment without adverse reactions, keeping the skin healthy, natural and beautiful for much longer.
