Biostimulator
What Are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that utilize innovative formulas to restore lost volume and improve skin quality. By harnessing the power of your body's natural regenerative processes, these treatments help to address common signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.
Sculptra: Gradual Volume Restoration
Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that works gradually to restore facial volume. Over time, Sculptra stimulates collagen production in your skin, leading to smoother texture and a more youthful contour. The best part? Results can last up to two years with a series of treatments, giving you a natural-looking enhancement that evolves beautifully.
Radiesse: Instant Lift with Lasting Effects
Radiesse features calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres that provide immediate lift and volume to targeted areas. This powerful formula not only offers instant gratification but also stimulates your body’s collagen production for longer-lasting improvements. With Radiesse, you can achieve a youthful look with minimal downtime, making it perfect for those with busy lifestyles.
Why Choose Biostimulators?
- Natural-Looking Results: Both Sculptra and Radiesse provide subtle enhancements that integrate seamlessly with your facial structure, resulting in a refreshed appearance without the tell-tale signs of cosmetic intervention.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Enjoy the benefits of these treatments for an extended period, with results that can last from one to two years, depending on the treatment and individual factors.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical options, biostimulators require little to no downtime. Most patients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
- Customizable Treatments: Our skilled professionals will assess your unique needs and customize your treatment plan to achieve the best possible results.
How Biostimulators Work
Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse work by utilizing advanced formulas that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and volume over time. Here's a breakdown of how the treatments work:
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation where our skilled professionals assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Preparation: On the day of the treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Injection Process: The biostimulator is injected into targeted areas using fine needles. Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid to gradually restore volume, while Radiesse provides immediate lift with calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres. The injection process typically takes about 30 minutes.
- Collagen Stimulation: Once injected, the biostimulator begins to stimulate your body's natural collagen production. With Sculptra, you may not see immediate results as the effects develop over several weeks. Radiesse provides instant volume, with continued improvements as your body produces collagen around the microspheres.
- Results: Sculptra results can last up to two years, while Radiesse typically lasts between 12 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects, ensuring you maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Downtime and Recovery
One of the significant benefits of biostimulators is the minimal downtime associated with these treatments:
- Immediate Aftercare: After your session, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually resolve within a few days.
- Return to Daily Activities: Most patients return to their normal routines immediately after treatment. While you may want to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for 24 hours, there are no extensive restrictions on your daily activities.
- Results Over Time: With Sculptra, you will notice gradual improvements as collagen builds over several weeks. Radiesse provides immediate results, which will continue to enhance as your body processes the treatment.
Overall, biostimulators offer a convenient, effective option for facial rejuvenation with little disruption to your daily life. Experience the transformation for yourself—schedule a consultation at NDA Medical Spa™ today!
