Biostimulators
Achieving a naturally enhanced and youthful look has never been easier than with the help of biostimulators. Aiken Medical Aesthetics offers safe and effective biostimulator injections that use a biocompatible synthetic substance to encourage your body to produce more collagen.
The long-lasting and promising results of biostimulator injections such as Sculptra target signs of aging by improving skin quality and appearance gradually for natural, beautiful results.
What are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injection compounds that are injected into the deepest layer of the skin known as the dermis. These injections are intended to help stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. By helping the body produce more collagen and elastin, biostimulators can help skin retain a youthful, radiant appearance.
Aiken Medical Aesthetics uses Sculptra, a leading biostimulator injection that contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). This active ingredient is a biodegradable, synthetic substance that encourages the body’s cells to produce more collagen. In turn, these injections can help you smooth out facial wrinkles and improve the visible signs of aging.
How do Biostimulators Work?
Once biostimulator injections are injected into your skin, the microparticles recruit your own body’s fibroblasts to the treated tissues, which stimulate increased production of collagen over the next few months.
Who are Biostimulators For?
Biostimulators are a great treatment option for anyone who has experienced loss of facial volume due to aging, as well as sagging skin or wrinkles, and visible signs of aging. Sculptra biostimulators are safe and effective for most adults, however, your Aiken Medical Aesthetics provider will need to gather some information about your medical history to ensure your eligibility.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not good candidates for biostimulators. In addition, people who suffer from autoimmune conditions or are prone to keloids may not be eligible for biostimulators. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss alternative anti-aging treatments if you are not a good candidate for biostimulator injections.
What are the Benefits of Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are safe and effective, FDA-approved injections that can help you achieve the look you desire. Some of the main benefits include:
- Minimal downtime: You won’t need to worry about missing work or your normal activities following treatment. With minimal downtime, you can return to your normal activities right after your injection appointment.
- Natural Look: Biostimulator injections do not work immediately, as it takes time for your skin to produce more collagen and elastin. With this in mind, you can achieve a gradual and subtle enhancement to your look without any harsh or overly extreme immediate results.
- Improved Skin Texture: Biostimulators create a fuller, plumper look and can improve the texture and appearance of your skin over time.
- Long-lasting Results:Unlike other skin treatments that may require frequent visits, the effects of biostimulator injections are long-lasting. The benefits of Sculptra often last between one and two years, depending on the number of treatments, age, and lifestyle factors.
Biostimulators Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should I get Biostimulator injections?
The frequency of your Biostimulator injections will vary depending on the significance of your volume loss, severity of skin laxity, as well as other factors such as age, lifestyle, and genetics.In general, we recommend patients return for Sculptra injections in six to eight weeks for a second treatment. After this initial series, we suggest patients return for Sculptra injections once per year to help maintain a long-lasting, youthful appearance.
The initial injections typically consist of a series of multiple injections that are spaced a few months apart. Based on your skin concerns, your Aiken Medical Aesthetics provider will create a custom-curated treatment plan for your biostimulator treatment.
What areas of the face are Biostimulators used on?
The placement of biostimulator injections will depend on your areas of concern. These injections can be placed throughout various parts of the face, including the temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, chin, and more.These injections can help you achieve natural-looking results, targeting sunken cheeks or temples, loose skin along the jawline, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Is Sculptra safe?
When administered by a trusted, licensed medical provider, Sculptra is safe and effective. As with any cosmetic procedure, there are some mild side effects to be aware of, such as swelling, bruising, nodules, or itching at the injection site. Most side effects resolve on their own shortly after treatment. Before your procedure, your Aiken Medical Aesthetics provider will use a local anesthetic to numb the area to ensure your comfort.
