Dermal Fillers & Biostimulators
What Is a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Filler?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, helping skin stay plump and hydrated.
Common HA fillers
- Restylane
- Revanesse
- Juvaderm
- Belotero
How HA Fillers Work
When injected into targeted areas, HA fillers:
-
Fill in lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines
-
Add volume to cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows
-
Hydrate and improve skin elasticity
The results are immediate, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance without surgery.
Common Areas for HA Fillers
-
Lips (plumping and shaping)
-
Cheeks (restoring midface volume)
-
Under-eye area (tear trough correction)
-
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
-
Jawline and chin contouring
Benefits of HA Fillers
-
Immediate results – visible improvement right after treatment
-
Minimally invasive – quick procedure with little downtime
-
Reversible – can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed
-
Hydrating – HA attracts water, improving skin moisture and texture
What Is a Biostimulator?
A biostimulator is an injectable treatment that stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production to restore volume, improve skin quality, and reduce the visible signs of aging. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume by “filling” an area, biostimulators work gradually by encouraging the body to rebuild its own structural support over time.
How Biostimulators Work
Biostimulators contain active ingredients that trigger collagen and elastin production in the skin. As collagen levels increase, the skin becomes:
-
Firmer and more lifted
-
Smoother in texture
-
More youthful and resilient
Results develop gradually over weeks to months and can last 1–2 years or longer, depending on the product and treatment plan.
Common Biostimulators
-
Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid) – Improves facial volume loss, skin laxity, and contour by stimulating collagen deep within the skin.
-
Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite) – Provides immediate volume with long-term collagen stimulation, often used for facial rejuvenation and hand restoration.
Benefits of Biostimulators
-
Natural results – gradual improvements without looking “overfilled.”
-
Long-lasting – collagen stimulation extends results beyond traditional fillers.
-
Improves skin quality – addresses texture, elasticity, and firmness.
-
Versatile – can be used in the face, jawline, décolleté, hands, and more.
