What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable treatments that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production rather than simply filling lines or wrinkles to rejuvenate the face. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily add volume at the site of injection, biostimulators work more gradually and holistically, improving skin quality, firmness, and structure over time. This makes them an excellent option for patients who want long-lasting facial rejuvenation without surgery.

We offer biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse, both FDA-approved and clinically proven to restore volume and encourage the skin to rebuild its collagen framework. These treatments are especially effective for addressing age-related volume loss, skin laxity, and facial hollowing, while preserving each patient’s unique facial characteristics.

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been safely used in medicine for decades. Rather than providing immediate volume like traditional fillers, Sculptra gradually stimulates your body to produce new collagen. This collagen regeneration helps restore facial volume, improve skin texture, and enhance overall facial structure in a subtle, natural way. It’s commonly used to treat areas affected by volume loss, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, and midface.

Are Biostimulators Suitable for All Skin Types?

  • Yes, Radiesse and Sculptra treatments can be used on all skin types and skin tones. However, as with any treatment, it is important to consult to determine whether the injectable is suitable for your situation. It may not be right for you if you have active skin irritations or infections, or if you are pregnant or nursing.

A Closer Look at the Benefits of Biostimulators

  • Immediate Wrinkle Reduction: Like other fillers, biostimulator injections can instantly smooth wrinkles and deep-set lines. As soon as the filler is injected, the CaHA microspheres fill the skin’s hollow areas, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds and bringing volume to areas that may have lost fat pads or elasticity.
  • Subtle Facial Contouring: As you age, the areas on each side of your chin can begin to lose volume and look more hollow. This can lead to pre-jowl folds along the jawline. Biostimulators are approved for treating this area, which can improve your facial contours and make you look younger.
  • Long-Lasting Effectiveness Through Collagen Production: One of the most distinctive features of biostimulators is their ability to stimulate collagen production. As the CaHA microspheres gradually dissolve, your body can replace the scaffolding created by the product with its own collagen, resulting in longer-lasting improvement that comes from your body’s own ability to heal.
  • Non-Invasive, Low-Downtime Injections: For those who want to avoid surgical procedures and lengthy recovery periods, biostimulator injections are a good solution. The treatment is quick, often completed in under an hour, and requires minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after surgery.
  • Natural-Looking Results: At our office, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not alter it. Biostimulators help us achieve this by providing results that look natural and harmonize with your facial features. Because it works with your body’s natural collagen production, it can deliver subtle yet impactful results.
  • FDA-Approved Wrinkle Improvement: Radiesse is the first and only CaHA filler of its kind approved by the FDA for short- and long-term improvement of wrinkles and loss of facial volume. It is approved for several areas, including smile lines, the corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and pre-jowl folds. Sculpta is also FDA-approved.

What’s the First Step?

Receiving biostimulator treatment involves scheduling a consultation with our Beverly Hills team, who will assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and areas of volume loss, and take the time to understand your aesthetic goals. Because biostimulators work differently from traditional fillers, careful evaluation is essential to determine whether Radiesse, Sculptra, or a combination approach is best suited for you. Your consultation in the greater Los Angeles area also includes a detailed discussion of how biostimulators work, what kind of results you can expect, and the timeline for improvement.

What to Expect on the Day of a Biostimulator Treatment

Biostimulator treatments are performed in-office and take roughly 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Prior to injection, the treatment area is cleansed and, if needed, a topical numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort. Many biostimulators, including certain formulations of Radiesse, contain lidocaine to further minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Patients remain awake throughout the treatment and can often return to normal activities shortly afterward. While some immediate volume may be visible (particularly with Radiesse), the full benefits of collagen stimulation develop gradually over time.

Biostimulators Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Biostimulators Care

Recovery following biostimulator injections is minimal, with patients experiencing mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Any post-treatment swelling is generally mild and can be managed with cold compresses and proper aftercare.

Patients are often advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for the first 24 hours. With Sculptra, patients may be instructed to gently massage the treated areas for several days to ensure even product distribution.

How Much Do Biostimulators Cost in Los Angeles, CA?

The cost of biostimulators in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles varies based on the product type, number of treatment areas, and amount required to achieve your ideal results.
