What actually happens to the skin when we apply a biostimulator?

Instead of filling or altering volumes, the biostimulator acts as a "biological signal".
After being injected, it sends the message to the fibroblast that it's time to rebuild the skin's structure.

This process involves three internal phases:

  1. Fibroblast recruitment

  2. Production of collagen types I and III

  3. Gradual compaction of the dermis

In other words, the result doesn't come from the product itself, but from the response. of its own fabric, which makes it natural, safe and elegant.

Is biostimulator suitable for all types of sagging skin?

No. This is a common question, and the answer requires care.
The biostimulator works best when there is mild to moderate sagging.

It does not replace:
• excess skin
• very low-lying structures
• cases where bone support is reduced (which may require the use of fillers)

Therefore, the analysis of biological age It's more relevant than your age on your ID card.

Patients aged 30, 40, and 60 will have completely different responses to the same product.

Does biostimulator leave the face feeling heavy or puffy?

This is one of the most common concerns — and totally understandable.
But the answer is not.

Biostimulators do not create structural volume like fillers.
The slight swelling the following day is just a reaction to the injection and disappears quickly.

What remains is the improved firmnessNot the artificial augmentation of the face.

Why do some people respond more and others less?

Each person's skin has its own metabolic rate.
The answer depends on factors such as:

• current collagen quality
• genetics
• lifestyle
• biological age
• accumulated sun exposure
• nutrition and level of systemic inflammation

Therefore, two people who use the same dose of Sculptra may have different results.
It's not a product defect; it's a characteristic of the organism.
