What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate collagen production. The Sculptra brand of bio-stimulator uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible molecule that breaks down into water, glucose and carbon dioxide. When injected into the deeper layers of the skin, PLLA stimulates fibroblast cells to make collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin structure and elasticity.
Sculptra is injected using a fine needle or cannula in areas where volume restoration and skin tightening are needed most: the temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jowls and neck. Treatments are spaced approximately 2 months apart, with a total of 4-6 vials recommended for optimal results.
The effects of Sculptra develop gradually over several months as the collagen develops. You can expect improved skin volume and tightness with a natural-looking result that can last for up to 2 years.
