What is a biostimulator?

Biostimulator is an injectable substance designed to stimulate the body to produce collagen and

How does Biostimulator work?

How does Biostimulator work?

When Biostimulator is injected under the skin, it acts as a "stimulator" for the fibroblast cells, which are the main cells in the production of collagen and elastin, to work more efficiently. This results in the continuous production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in a stronger skin structure, firmer skin, reduced wrinkles and a noticeable improvement in overall skin quality.

Advantages of Biostimulator

• Natural results: Stimulates the production of its own collagen, resulting in a naturally plump skin that doesn’t look hard or lumpy.

• Long-lasting results: Since it stimulates the production of new collagen, the results last longer than traditional fillers, possibly lasting 1-2 years or more, depending on the type of Biostimulator and maintenance.

• Improves overall skin quality: In addition to firming, it also helps to make the skin smoother, tighten pores, and look healthier.

• Safety: Most biostimulators used are biocompatible and biodegradable.
