Biostim is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting biostimulatory substances into the skin to stimulate the body’s naturalcollagen production. This helps to improve skin texture, elasticity, andoverall appearance.
Biostim works by injecting biostimulatory agents, such as poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) or calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), into the skin. These substances stimulate the body’s natural collagen production over time, leading to gradual and natural-looking improvements in skin firmness and smoothness.
Biostim treatments offer several benefits, including:
Stimulating collagen production for long-term skin improvement.
Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Improving overall skin texture and tone.
Providing a natural and youthful appearance.
Offering a minimally invasive alternative to more extensive cosmetic procedures.
Biostim treatments are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified healthcare provider. The substances used in Biostim are biocompatible and have been used in medical and cosmetic treatments for many years. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be risks and potential side effects, so it’s important to discuss these with your provider.
Biostim can be used to treat various areas of the face and body, including:
Wrinkles and fine lines.
Sagging skin on the cheeks and jawline.
Hollow or sunken areas such as the cheeks and temples.
Loose skin on the neck and décolletage.
Other areas needing improved skin texture and firmness.
Biostim treatments are administered through a series of small injections into the targeted areas. The procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia or numbing cream is typically used to ensure comfort during the procedure.
During a Biostim treatment, your healthcare provider will inject the biostimulatory substance into the specific areas needing treatment. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. There may be some mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort afterward, but you can typically resume normal activities immediately.
Results from Biostim treatments develop gradually over several weeks to months as collagen production is stimulated. The full effects can be seen in about 3-6 months and can last for up to 2 years, depending on individual factors and the area treated. Additional treatments may be indicated based on desired results.
Coverage for Biostim treatments varies by insurance plan. Cosmetic treatments are usually not covered by insurance. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage.
Good candidates for Biostim are individuals looking to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance through a minimally invasive procedure. Those seeking to reduce wrinkles and fine lines or enhance facial contours may also benefit from Biostim. A consultation with a qualified healthcare provider can help determine if Biostim is right for you.
