Collagen biostimulator

– WHAT IS IT?

As its name suggests, the main function and effect of the collagen bio-stimulator is to stimulate and increase collagen production, which will have positive effects on the body, particularly with regard to skin rejuvenation, helping those looking for a younger appearance, with firmer, more luscious skin.

What are the advantages of using the collagen bio-stimulator?

There are a number of benefits to using this type of product.

Firstly, they are long-lasting and clinically proven treatments.

Secondly, the collagen bio-stimulator is an effective and safe treatment, capable of smoothing expression lines and deep wrinkles, while ensuring facial volumization and enhancing facial contours.

In practice, this treatment works like a non-surgical facelift.

Which areas can be treated with the collagen bio-stimulator?

The collagen biostimulator is capable of smoothing expression lines and wrinkles, restoring facial volume and improving the contour of the face.

Therefore, this treatment can target areas such as:

  • Nasolabial folds;
  • Marionette lines;
  • Chin;
  • Malar region;
  • Mandibular support and contour;
  • Neck;
  • Cellulite;
  • Acne scars.

What care should be taken after treatment with a collagen bio-stimulator?

After undergoing treatment with a biostimulator, it is normal for the skin in the areas that have received the injections to be more inflamed and sensitive for 1 to 2 days after the procedure.

Although recovery is quick and there are usually no complications, it is important to take some precautions, such as:

  • Apply sunscreen;
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure;
  • Avoid intense physical activity that causes the face to become hot, in the two weeks following the collagen bio-stimulator treatment.
  • Do not touch the treated area for 4 hours;
  • Avoid sleeping under the treated area for 3 nights;
  • No facial treatments in the 4 weeks following treatment with bio collagen stimulator;
  • No laser treatments.

If a bruise appears, it is recommended to apply arnica gel several times a day.

If there are allergic reactions, such as redness and itching, these can be alleviated with topical anti-inflammatories or tablets.

What contraindications are there for this treatment?

There are people who should not be treated with the collagen bio-stimulator.

This treatment is therefore contraindicated for people:

  • people with allergies or hypersensitivity to the active ingredients of biostimulators;
  • pregnant and breastfeeding women;
  • with acute infectious diseases;
  • with inflammation of the skin;
  • cancers;
  • a tendency to develop keloids and/or bleeding;
  • with certain blood diseases (blood clotting);
  • diseases of the immune system.

What is the step-by-step procedure?

1 – The first step is to have an assessment appointment, where the most appropriate treatment will be considered, taking into account the results desired by the patient and the doctor assessing them.

2 – The next step, in the treatment phase, is to cleanse and disinfect the skin. Afterwards, an anesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated and several injections are made with a cannula. This is a painless process.

The effects are immediate, although they are more evident after 4 to 6 weeks. The full results are visible after 3 months, when the skin shows more firmness, elasticity and hydration.

Frequently Asked Questions

The collagen biostimulator is a product made from Calcium Hydroxyapatite or Polylactic Acid, substances that our body absorbs because they have the same composition as human teeth and bones.

This type of treatment is suitable for those who want to give their skin a more youthful effect without undergoing surgery or more invasive treatments, thus achieving effective but more discreet results.

In general, biostimulants cause a mild inflammatory reaction in the dermis, which activates the cells responsible for collagen production. As a result, these cells will produce new fibers for longer.

This treatment then contributes to the replenishment of collagen, helping to reduce lines, wrinkles and folds in the skin.

Treatment protocols call for 1 to 3 sessions, with annual maintenance. However, this number can vary depending on the level of sagging skin.

Thus, younger skin usually requires just one session, while more mature skin may require more sessions and combined treatments.

The results are very natural-looking and can last up to two years. By replenishing facial collagen and restoring volume, the skin is firmer, smoother and more rejuvenated.

To ensure that the results last, it is important to lead a healthy lifestyle and take proper care of your skin on a daily basis.

To enhance the effects obtained with the collagen bio-stimulator, there are other treatments that can be carried out. Here are some examples:

Anti-wrinkle creams: the application of anti-wrinkle creams helps prevent ageing while moisturizing the skin. There are cosmetics, dermocosmetics and nutricosmetics.

Cosmetics act on the surface, moisturizing and protecting the skin from aggressive agents such as wind, heat and pollution.

Dermocosmetics work on the deeper layers of the skin, using active ingredients and substances capable of fighting blemishes, scars and sagging skin.

Finally, nutricosmetics, such as collagen and antioxidants, improve the appearance of the skin from the inside out.

Hyaluronic acid fillers: this is another complementary treatment which, through the injection of hyaluronic acid, can fill in wrinkles, furrows and depressions, as well as remodeling such as increasing zygomatic/malar volume.
