I n the pursuit of firmer, more radiant, and healthier skin, more and more people are choosing non-invasive treatments that promote natural and long-lasting results. Among the most innovative and effective options are biostimulators—a modern approach in aesthetic medicine that works from within the skin, reactivating its natural regeneration mechanisms.
What Are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are substances designed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastic fibers in the skin. Unlike dermal fillers, which provide immediate volume, biostimulators work gradually, promoting sustained improvement in skin quality, firmness, and elasticity.
This type of treatment is particularly effective in areas showing early signs of sagging, such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. By activating the skin’s internal regeneration processes, biostimulators provide a lifting and revitalizing effect without altering the natural features of the face.
How Are They Applied?
The procedure is performed using cannulas, a safer alternative to conventional needles. Cannulas allow for the distribution of the product along strategic tension vectors, which helps lift and firm the skin without causing unnecessary trauma. Additionally, this technique significantly reduces the risk of bruising or vascular injury, resulting in a quicker and more comfortable recovery for the patient.
What Substances Are Used?
The biostimulators used in Dr. Sevinsky’s practice are biocompatible and safe, meaning they do not cause allergic reactions and are naturally absorbed by the body. Among the most commonly used are:
- Calcium Hydroxyapatite
- Poly-L-lactic Acid
- Combinations of Hyaluronic Acid with Calcium Hydroxyapatite
- High-purity Hyaluronic Acid with biostimulatory effects
These products do not add volume but act as stimulators of collagen and elastin, achieving visible skin regeneration from within. Results appear progressively, enhancing skin texture, firmness, and hydration in a natural way.
Benefits of Biostimulator Treatment
This treatment offers multiple benefits, making it an increasingly popular alternative to invasive procedures:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration
- Enhances radiance and overall skin quality
- Preserves natural facial features without adding volume
- Provides progressive, natural-looking results
- It is biocompatible and free from adverse reactions
- Performed on an outpatient basis, with no downtime required
This approach rejuvenates the face without compromising its natural expression, maintaining each patient’s unique facial harmony.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
In most cases, two sessions are recommended, spaced 30 to 40 days apart. However, for patients whose bodies respond more slowly to stimulation, additional sessions may be suggested to enhance the effects.
Dr. Sevinsky evaluates each case individually to design the most appropriate treatment plan, based on the person’s specific needs and aesthetic goals.
When Are Biostimulators Not Recommended?
Although biostimulators offer excellent results in many cases, it’s important to understand their limitations. In cases of severe sagging or significant facial volume loss, this treatment alone may not be sufficient. In such situations, Dr. Sevinsky might suggest other options, such as surgical intervention, to achieve a visible and long-lasting improvement.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes. It is a quick, outpatient procedure that does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, patients can return to their normal activities right away. However, mild swelling or small bruises may appear in the treated area, which typically subside on their own within a few days.
To ensure optimal recovery and maximize results, the following is recommended:
- Avoid intense physical exercise for 24 to 48 hours
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Refrain from facial treatments or aggressive procedures during the first 48 hours
These simple guidelines help the treatment progress smoothly and without complications.
A Safe Alternative to Rejuvenate Your Skin
Biostimulators offer an excellent alternative for those looking to rejuvenate their skin naturally and without surgery, by stimulating the body’s own regenerative processes. The application is safe, effective, and personalized, allowing for visible results without altering facial identity.
