These factors can reduce collagen production stimulated by the procedure. I recommend avoiding these factors as much as possible to maintain the effect of the biostimulator.

Based on this, it is possible to determine the appropriate techniques to naturally enhance the features of the face, skin, and body.
Choosing a dermatologist is crucial for a thorough analysis of the areas of disharmony in the patient and to determine the necessary techniques, whether it be increasing volume, correcting angles, or symmetry. With a personalized and exclusive treatment plan, it is possible to meet the specific needs of each patient while respecting their limitations.
