Areas Where Biostimulators Should Not Be Applied

  • Eyelids and under-eye area:
    The skin in this area is extremely thin and sensitive. Injecting biostimulators can cause... visible nodules or granulomas. To treat dark circles and drooping eyelids, we opted for Technologies such as Liftera, CoolFase, or specific lasers..

  • Lips and perioral area (around the mouth):
    Due to the high mobility, the use of biostimulators here may cause granulomas or indurationsThe most recommended procedures are such as Fillers with hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, and thermal stimulation technologies. to smooth wrinkles.

  • The area very close to the eyes, nose, and forehead:

  • Local mobility: Regions that move a lot can form nodules;

  • Anatomical risk: Proximity to blood vessels and delicate structures increases the chance of complications.
