Biostimulator
Biostimulators are advanced injectable treatments designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the body's natural collagen production, resulting in long-lasting improvements in skin texture, firmness, and volume. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide immediate volumizing effects, biostimulators work gradually to enhance the skin’s structural foundation, delivering results that become more noticeable over time.
Biostimulatory agents, such as poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), are introduced into the skin through minimally invasive injections. These substances trigger the body’s healing response, promoting collagen synthesis and restoring the skin’s youthful appearance. By addressing the underlying cause of aging—collagen loss—biostimulators offer a more natural and sustainable approach to facial rejuvenation.
The treatment is particularly effective for individuals seeking to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity without the need for surgery. It is also beneficial for correcting facial asymmetry and enhancing contouring in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and temples. Over time, biostimulators lead to a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance, with results lasting up to two years or more, depending on the product and treatment plan.
Biostimulators are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide subtle, yet effective anti-aging benefits, with minimal downtime. They are suitable for a wide range of patients looking for long-term aesthetic improvements with a gradual, natural-looking outcome.
Ellanse
What is Ellansé?
Ellansé is a unique dermal filler that not only provides immediate volume and correction of wrinkles but also stimulates the body's natural production of collagen. It belongs to a category of dermal fillers known as biostimulating fillers, which means it helps rejuvenate the skin from within by encouraging collagen synthesis over time. This dual-action effect makes Ellansé a popular choice for those seeking both instant and long-term results in facial contouring and wrinkle reduction.
Ellansé is composed of two key components:
Polycaprolactone (PCL) Microspheres
PCL is a biodegradable, synthetic polymer that has been used safely in medical applications for decades, including sutures and implants. The PCL microspheres in Ellansé are smooth, round particles that act as a scaffold for collagen production. Once injected into the skin, they gradually stimulate the body's fibroblasts to produce collagen around them, creating natural volume and improving skin elasticity over time.
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) Gel Carrier
The PCL microspheres are suspended in a CMC gel. CMC is a natural gel that provides an instant volumizing effect upon injection, filling wrinkles and folds immediately. This gel acts as a carrier for the PCL microspheres and provides the immediate lifting and filling effect that patients notice right after the procedurer. Over time, the CMC gel is absorbed by the body, while the PCL microspheres remain and continue to stimulate collagen production.
