Biostimulators

What is it like having biostimulators for your face?

Having biostimulators injected into your face involves a series of small injections, typically performed under local anaesthesia or with a numbing cream to minimise discomfort. The procedure is relatively quick, and most people experience only mild swelling or bruising afterward.

Can you have biostimulator treatments for your body?

Yes, biostimulator treatments can be used for the body to improve skin texture, elasticity, and volume in areas such as the hands, neck, décolletage, and bum.

How much do biostimulator treatments cost?

The cost of biostimulator treatments varies depending on the specific product used, the area being treated, and the practitioner’s expertise. On average, you can expect treatments to cost around TKK.

What are the benefits of biostimulators?

The benefits of biostimulators include long-lasting results, improved skin texture and elasticity, natural-looking enhancements, and the gradual improvement of facial contours. They stimulate the body’s own collagen production, leading to sustained improvements over time.

Can biostimulators be used alongside other treatments?

Yes – not only can biostimulators be used alongside other aesthetic treatments such as hyaluronic acid fillers, toxin injections, and laser treatments, but they can also enhance your overall results from such procedures!

That’s because biostimulators can boost your body’s natural healing processes, reducing inflammation and other side effects, for faster healing. This can also prolong your results so you get more bang for your buck.

Does having biostimulators hurt?

The procedure can cause some discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. Local anaesthesia or numbing cream is often used to minimise pain during the injections. After the procedure, there may be some temporary soreness, swelling, or bruising, but this should be shortlived.

What are the drawbacks of biostimulators?

When you have treatment with biostimulators, side effects can include temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the injection site. There is also a risk of overcorrection or asymmetry, and in rare cases, allergic reactions or granulomas may occur. The results are not immediate and can take several months to fully develop too, which is less good news for impatient patients.

Can you have a facelift after biostimulators?

Many facial plastic surgeons are not keen on biostimulators because of the way the collagen they produce affects the tissues of the face, making them harder to separate and manipulate during surgery. It’s not so much the case that you can’t have a facelift after biostimulator treatment, as that the surgery will be a trickier process for your surgeon and they may not achieve the full results that they or you want. If you want to try a biostimulator but know you want to have a facelift one day, ask your chosen surgeon for their  views. They may tell you to wait at least two years after biostimulator treatment before thinking about surgery – or just to avoid the treatment altogether.
