What it is
Firmness that comes from within the skin.
A collagen biostimulator is a substance injected by the doctor that stimulates the production of collagen, the protein that gives the skin firmness and elasticity.
Over the years, collagen production declines. Genetics and sun exposure also play a part. That is why the treatment is chosen both to treat and to prevent the first signs of sagging.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
Will it look artificial?
A biostimulator does not add instant volume: it helps the skin produce its own collagen, gradually.
How is it different from hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid restores volume straight away; a biostimulator works on skin quality over months.
At what age should I start?
There is no fixed age. Suitability is decided at the assessment, according to each person's skin.
General information that does not replace a consultation. Suitability, risks and alternatives for each treatment are explained by the doctor at the assessment. Results vary from person to person.
