They are substances that stimulate collagen production when injected into certain layers of the skin. They can be used for long-term volume replacement and reduction of sagging.
What is it for?
The main purpose of these products is not filling, but rather biostimulation resulting from the action it would stimulate in fibroblasts, cells that produce collagen fibers. More collagen in the skin means firmer, less saggy skin. And this firmness improves the overall appearance of the face in a very natural and delicate way.
What are the benefits?
They assist in the subtle recovery of facial volume, reduce wrinkles, expression marks and improve sagging in the regions where it was applied. Its effects are gradual and lasting, as the body continues to produce collagen up to 6 months after treatment. The result is rejuvenation and natural recovery of the contours of the face. The effects are perceived in 4/6 weeks after the first session with the final result after 3 months. The sessions must be repeated every 30/60 days and the number of sessions varies from 1 to 3.
(Demonstration of the result of applying collagen biostimulators)
Collagen is a protein naturally produced by the human body. Among its functions are the support and firmness of the skin. As the production of this substance decreases from the age of 25, the tissues become more flaccid. In addition to aesthetics, they are also used to treat sagging and improve the quality of the skin when it is very thin and wrinkled. Biostimulators can be prescribed for high-performance athletes who lose a lot of facial fat, or for people who have lost a lot of weight.
It may be necessary, in some cases, to obtain better results, to associate other treatments to stimulate the muscles, such as hyaluronic acid, to replace fat pads and botulinum toxin (botox), to smooth out wrinkles.
