Types Of Biostimulators
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that stimulate the body’s own collagen production, improving skin texture, elasticity, and volume over time. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common types:
1. Sculptra (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)
How it works: Stimulates collagen gradually over several weeks/months.
Best for: Volume restoration in the cheeks, temples, and lower face; improving skin laxity.
Results: Long-lasting (up to 2 years), but takes time to develop.
Treatment plan: Usually done in a series (e.g., 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart).
2. Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)
How it works: Provides immediate volume and also stimulates collagen as the gel carrier dissolves.
Best for: Midface, jawline contouring, and hands. Also used in diluted form (hyperdilute Radiesse) for skin tightening and texture.
Results: Instant lift + collagen stimulation, lasting around 12–18 months.
Treatment plan: Often requires fewer sessions compared to Sculptra.
3. Rejuran (Polynucleotides – PDRN)
How it works: Derived from salmon DNA, it stimulates tissue regeneration, improves hydration, and promotes collagen synthesis.
Best for: Skin rejuvenation, fine lines, elasticity, and improving skin tone—especially popular in Asian skincare.
Results: Gradual improvement over a few weeks, with benefits for skin texture and radiance.
Treatment plan: Typically done in a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
