Biostimulators are a popular type of injectable treatment that can improve the texture, elasticity, and overall appearance of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and other natural substances. Some of the most well-known biostimulators include Profhilo, Harmonica, Radiesse, and Sculptra.
At The CDE, we particularly favour Sculptra as a biostimulator due to its long-lasting results and versatility in treating a wide range of concerns, from facial wrinkles and folds to the loss of volume in the mid-face and temples. Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates collagen production over time, resulting in natural-looking, gradual improvement in the skin’s texture and firmness. The treatment typically involves a series of injections spaced several weeks apart, and results can last up to two years or more.
While each biostimulator has its unique benefits and uses, Sculptra’s ability to gradually improve the skin’s natural collagen production and longevity of results make it an excellent choice for many patients seeking non-surgical rejuvenation. As with any cosmetic treatment, it is important to consult with one of our qualified medical professionals to determine which biostimulator is best suited for your individual needs and goals.
