Biostimulators In the Heart of Chicago's Wicker Park: A Quick Commute from Arlington Heights and Evanston.

Biostimulators, also known as collagen stimulators, offer a non-surgical way to restore youthful firmness and fullness to skin. Surpassing the strictly cosmetic results of traditional fillers, injections of Radiesse® and Sculptra® actually improve skin quality in treated areas by boosting collagen and elastin production. At Enfuse Medical Spa & Hair Restoration in Chicago, IL, our team specializes in skin rejuvenation treatments with injectables. For those seeking a minimally invasive and lasting solution to address the look of lost volume and improve mild to moderate skin laxity, then our Sculptra and Radiesse biostimulator injections may be the perfect treatment.

Biostimulators: What Are They, and How Do They Work?

Biostimulators work by encouraging the body’s natural skin regeneration process. Unlike traditional injectable fillers that are formulated with hyaluronic acid to temporarily add volume, bio stimulatory treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse not only provide immediate volume improvement, but they also stimulate the activity of fibroblast cells for an increase in collagen and elastin production, resulting in skin that has revitalized and younger appearance.

Collagen: Provides structure, strength, and firmness to the skin. Collagen fibers are strong, providing tensile strength that helps the skin maintain its shape and resist stretching forces.

Elastin: Provides elasticity, allowing skin to stretch and return to its original shape. Elastin fibers are more flexible than collagen, making them essential for areas of the skin and tissues that require resilience and stretch.

Significantly higher levels of these two proteins are the foundation of younger skin, but as the levels naturally decrease with age, so does youthful skin elasticity, volume, and firmness. Injections of Sculptra formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and Radiesse formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) stimulate fibroblast activity through both their chemical properties and the physical process of injection.

Biostimulators: What Are the Benefits, and Who Are the Candidates?

Candidates for biostimulators include individuals seeking long-term skin rejuvenation and aesthetic enhancement without surgery. Choosing bio stimulatory injections with Sculptra or Radiesse provides a range of benefits including:

• Natural-Looking Results-  Biostimulators stimulate the body’s own collagen, creating subtle enhancements that look and feel natural.
• Long-Lasting Effects- The results of biostimulator treatments develop gradually and can last up to two years or more.
• Versatile Applications- These injectables can address multiple concerns, including facial volume loss, hand rejuvenation, and even non-surgical buttock enhancement.
• Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive- Biostimulators provide a non-surgical alternative to facelifts and other invasive procedures, with minimal downtime.
• Improved Skin Texture- As collagen increases, skin becomes smoother and firmer, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Biostimulators: Radiesse and Sculptra Treatment Areas

If you are looking to enhance cheek volume, improve jawline definition, or minimize the appearance of hand veins, or achieve subtle buttock enhancement, At Enfuse Med Spa, we offer biostimulator treatments for multiple areas of the body:

Radiesse for Face and Hands- Formulated to include microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Radiesse injections provide immediate volume improvement. Unlike traditional fillers, as the microspheres of CaHA are gradually absorbed, the aesthetic benefits are not diminished but are instead replaced with new collagen and elastin.

Sculptra for Face and Buttocks- Formulated with poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) Sculptra injections gradually stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin as the PLLA is broken down by the body. The presence of these particles activates a low-level immune response, which encourages fibroblasts to increase collagen production. PLLA is particularly effective for gradual, long-term collagen and elastin stimulation due to its slow breakdown process.

Biostimulators: What to Expect Before and After

Biostimulator treatments are minimally invasive and typically completed within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. After cleansing and numbing the skin, our skilled injectors place the product in precise locations to stimulate collagen and enhance volume.

• Recovery: One of the standout benefits of injectable procedures for patients is no downtime. You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites that resolve quickly. To minimize the potential for ongoing swelling or bruising, avoiding excessive sun and heat exposure, intense physical activity, and alcohol on the day of treatment, and possibly the next day is recommended.
• Results: As collagen builds over several weeks to months, you’ll notice gradual improvements in firmness, volume, and skin texture. Full results can take up to six months, with effects lasting up to two years or more.

FAQs: Biostimulators

• • Are biostimulator injections painful?
    Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Numbing agents and precise techniques help ensure a comfortable treatment. A key advantage to injectable treatments is their minimally invasive nature that requires little to no recovery time.
  • How can I extend the results from biostimulators?
    Strategies that can extend your results include, practicing a consistent skincare that includes regular moisturizing and the use of topical serums that contain retinoids and antioxidants, along with eating healthy, staying hydrated, and using sunscreen.
  • Can the results of Sculptra or Radiesse be reversed?
    No, the results of Sculptra and Radiesse cannot be reversed. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, both Sculptra and Radiesse work differently and cannot be undone once injected.
