Biostimulant
What are Biostimulants?
Biostimulants are injectable products formulated to provoke a specific response in the skin: the gradual creation of new collagen. They are ideal for treating diffuse volume loss (like hollows in the temples or cheeks) and generalized skin laxity, offering a subtle yet fundamental correction that is durable and looks incredibly natural.
Areas That Can Be Treated With Biostimulants:
Cheeks and Mid-Face: To restore foundational volume and lift the lower face.
Temples: To correct hollowing that contributes to an aged, bony appearance.
Jawline and Jowls: To improve firmness and reduce the appearance of laxity.
Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: To treat deep creases by building underlying structural support.
Body Areas: Can be used to improve skin quality on the neck, décolletage, and certain body contours.
How Can Biostimulants Transform Your Appearance?
Biostimulants are excellent for foundational, long-term rejuvenation without looking "over-filled":
Gradual and Natural Volume Restoration: Rebuilds the skin's internal collagen structure for subtle, lasting fullness in hollow areas.
Improved Skin Quality and Thickness: Addresses deep-set wrinkles and skin laxity by strengthening the dermal matrix from within.
Long-Term Results: Provides structural correction that can last significantly longer than traditional HA fillers (often two years or more).
Addressing Facial Hollowing: Highly effective for restoring volume lost due to generalized fat loss or the aging process.
The Nurse Reine Specialized Process:
Biostimulant injection requires specialized mixing, knowledge, and precise technique:
Detailed Consultation and Planning: Reine evaluates areas of volume loss that require collagen scaffolding rather than simple plumping. She develops a multi-session plan tailored to your specific needs.
Precise Reconstitution: The product is meticulously prepared (reconstituted) with precision prior to injection to ensure proper dispersion and minimize side effects.
Cannula Technique: A microcannula is often used to administer the product safely and smoothly across wide areas, minimizing trauma and ensuring even distribution for diffuse collagen stimulation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
HA Fillers give immediate volume and hydrate. Biostimulants give minimal immediate volume but trigger the creation of new collagen growth over several months, providing a deeper, more structural, and lasting correction.
-
Results are gradual. The sustained improvement from new collagen production becomes visible after 2 to 3 months and continues to improve for up to 6 months after the final session.
-
For optimal structural correction, a series of 2 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, is generally recommended, depending on the degree of collagen loss.
-
The collagen stimulated by the treatment can last for 2 years or more, making it one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available.
-
You may have swelling and tenderness for 2 to 3 days. A crucial post-care instruction is to massage the treated area multiple times a day for a few days to ensure even product distribution and prevent nodule formation.
-
Yes, the products are well-researched and Health Canada approved. When administered correctly, they are a very safe and effective option for long-term facial structure restoration.
