Why can I not see anything yet?

Because there is nothing to see yet. A biostimulator does not add volume — it prompts your skin to build collagen, and collagen takes four to six weeks to start forming. If you want a same-day result, filler is the treatment and we will tell you so.

How is it different from filler?

Filler is the volume. A biostimulator is a signal that makes your own tissue produce volume. Filler works the same day and lasts six to eighteen months; a biostimulator works over months and lasts up to two years. They also suit different problems — filler shapes, a biostimulator firms.

Why do I have to massage it?

Massage spreads the particles evenly through the tissue. Left in one spot they are more likely to form a small firm nodule. Five minutes, five times a day, for five days is the usual instruction and it matters.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually two or three, spaced four to six weeks apart, but it depends on the area and on how much collagen has been lost. The number is decided at the evaluation and the cost of the whole series is agreed then, not session by session.

No, and that is the honest difference from hyaluronic acid filler. There is no enzyme that dissolves it. This is why the assessment matters more here and why it is given gradually rather than all at once.

Who should not have it?

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, anyone with an active infection at the site, and anyone with a history of keloid scarring or certain autoimmune conditions. A medical history is taken for exactly this reason.

Biostimulators

An injectable for skin that has lost its firmness: thinner, crêpey skin on the cheeks, jawline, neck and hands. It prompts your skin to rebuild its own collagen, so the change arrives over three to six months and lasts up to two years.

What changes

Nothing, then gradually everything.

This is the treatment for someone who does not want a change anyone can date.

You leave looking exactly as you arrived.
02
Around week six, the skin feels firmer.
03
By month three, the quality has changed.
04
It holds for a year or two, then fades.

How it works

It is a signal, not a filling.

A biostimulator is a suspension of particles — poly-L-lactic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite, depending on the product — that your body treats as something to respond to. The response is fibroblasts laying down new collagen around the particles over the following weeks. The particles themselves break down and leave; the collagen is what stays.

That is why nothing shows immediately, and why it is given as a short series with weeks between sessions: each one adds to what the last one started. It is also why the result outlasts a filler — you are not waiting for a gel to dissolve, you are waiting for collagen to turn over, which takes far longer.

The particles go in
Diluted and injected across an area rather than into a single point, in the plane under the skin.
02
The skin responds
Fibroblasts lay down new collagen around each particle over the following weeks.
03
The particles leave
They break down and are cleared. The collagen they prompted is what you keep.

What to expect

Months, not days.

The timeline is the treatment. Expecting it to behave like filler is the commonest disappointment.

Day 0
The appointment
Some swelling from the fluid it is diluted in, which settles in a day or two. No result yet.
Week 4 to 6
It begins
New collagen has started to form. The skin feels firmer before it looks different.
Month 3 to 6
The result
After the full series, the change in firmness and quality is at its clearest.
Year 1 to 2
It fades
Collagen turns over as it always does. Many people top up once a year.
