Biostimulators: A Complete Guide by Lila Salinas

WHAT IS BIOSTIMULATION:

Biostimulation means that the cells regenerate themselves and older skin cells are replaced by new, fresh cells. For example, if you cut your finger, bleeding occurs, and the skin naturally binds as the cut heals. This happens because of the platelets in the blood, which first release clotting substances to stop the bleeding. After this process, fresh, new skin appears in place of the old, damaged skin.

ADVANTAGES OF BIOSTIMULATORS:

• Stimulates Collagen Production:

  Enhances the body’s natural collagen production through minimally invasive injections. Controlled inflammation leads to the release of epidermal growth factors, promoting fibroblast proliferation and the production of collagen and elastin. Supports the skin’s self-repair mechanism for improved firmness and elasticity.

• Deeper and More Effective Delivery of Active Substances:

  Active substances are introduced deeper into the skin for enhanced absorption and efficacy. Provides better and more even results compared to superficial application.

• Improves Skin Pigmentation and Tone:

  Helps control pigmentation and promotes even skin tone. Reduces melanin deposits responsible for age spots through the dispersion of melanin triggered during treatment.

What are the common Biostimulator treatments?

• MICRONEEDLING:

Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating tiny injuries in the skin, prompting the growth of new, collagen-rich tissue. This process helps counteract the loss of collagen due to aging or injury, tightening the skin and improving its overall texture. It effectively addresses various skin concerns, making it, in my view, a must-have in any treatment plan.

• PDO THREADS:

PDO threads are dissolvable sutures that stimulate collagen production for quicker, long-lasting results. Smooth threads reduce fine lines and wrinkles, while lifting threads tighten sagging skin on the neck and lower face. Over time, the threads dissolve, replaced by new vascularization that enhances skin texture and radiance. PDO threads rejuvenate the skin, improve contours, and can be used for both facial and body sculpting.

• PRP TREATMENT:

PRP treatment involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is processed in a centrifuge to separate red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The platelet layer is then combined with a small amount of plasma to create injectable PRP. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to thicken and tighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone and texture.

• CO2 TREATMENT:

CO2 laser treatment uses carbon dioxide lasers to resurface the skin by removing its outer layer while stimulating collagen production in the underlying layers. This process helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, and promote overall skin rejuvenation. It’s effective for addressing sun damage, uneven tone, and deep wrinkles, leaving the skin smoother and more youthful.

• RF TREATMENT:

Radiofrequency (RF) treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses energy waves to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process tightens the skin, reduces wrinkles, and improves its overall texture and tone. RF can also target fat deposits for body contouring, making it versatile for both facial and body treatments.

• EZGEL:

EZ Gel treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic therapy that hydrates and smooths skin, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. It stimulates collagen production, enhances skin elasticity, and improves overall skin tone and texture. Known for its gentle, low-discomfort application, EZ Gel offers skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
