Qual a diferença para o preenchimento?

O preenchimento repõe volume imediatamente numa zona específica. O bioestimulador não acrescenta volume — estimula a produção de colagénio, melhorando firmeza e textura de forma gradual. São complementares e frequentemente combinados.

Quando vejo resultados?

Não é imediato. As primeiras alterações surgem por volta das seis semanas e o resultado final avalia-se aos três a seis meses. Quem procura efeito no próprio dia deve considerar outra abordagem.

Aplica-se anestésico tópico e o desconforto é moderado. Pode haver sensibilidade e pequenos nódulos temporários nos dias seguintes, que resolvem espontaneamente.

Collagen Biostimulators

Rather than adding volume, biostimulators prompt your skin to produce its own collagen. The result is gradual, and that is what makes it discreet.

How they work

Biostimulators are injectable substances that trigger a controlled response in the tissue. This response stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen.

The difference from a filler is conceptual: a filler takes up space immediately; a biostimulator does not fill, it improves skin quality and density over months. That is why there is no visible change the next day.

Who it is for

Mainly for people who notice loss of firmness, thinner skin and mild to moderate laxity, and who prefer a progressive improvement to a sudden change.

It is also used on areas of the body where laxity is common: arms, abdomen and inner thighs.

Protocol

Treatment is usually done in two to three sessions, four to six weeks apart. Each session takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

After the application, massaging the area for a few days is often recommended, depending on the product used, to ensure even distribution.

Results

The first improvements show at around six to eight weeks, and the result consolidates over three to six months. It usually lasts between eighteen months and two years.

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from a filler?

A filler restores volume immediately in a specific area. A biostimulator does not add volume: it stimulates collagen production, gradually improving firmness and texture. They are complementary and often combined.

When will I see results?

It is not immediate. The first changes appear at around six weeks and the final result is assessed at three to six months. If you are looking for a same day effect, another approach may suit you better.

Is it painful?

A topical anaesthetic is applied and discomfort is moderate. There may be tenderness and small temporary nodules in the following days, which resolve on their own.
