        Regenerative aesthetics is changing the beauty world and Biostimulators are leading the movement.       Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, biostimulators work with your body to rebuild what time has softened. They gradually restore firmness, elasticity, and youthful structure by stimulating your own collagen production. The result? A refreshed, natural look that isn’t “obvious” or overdone.  Patients who want natural-looking rejuvenation without looking "treated" gravitate towards Biostimulators for good reason.

        At Martin’s Rejuvenation Centre, we specialize in treatments that support authentic, confident beauty. With advanced medical aesthetic techniques, modern technologies, and a personalized approach, we help you look renewed, refreshed and rejuvenated. .

        If you’re curious whether Biostimulators are  right for you, you can book a consultation to explore your personalized options.

        What Are Biostimulators?

        Biostimulators,  such as Sculptra and Radiesse, are injectable treatments that stimulate your skin to rebuild its own collagen and elastin. These two proteins keep skin firm, lifted, and youthful. Unlike fillers that add immediate volume, biostimulators strengthen the deeper layers of the skin, giving you gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation that lasts.  They’re perfect for anyone who wants to look fresher and more lifted without looking like they’ve had treatment done.

        How Biostimulators Work In The Skin

        Biostimulators activate fibroblasts, the cells that create collagen. Once injected, tiny particles signal your skin to start repairing and rebuilding its internal structure. Over the next few months, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, tighter, and more resilient, with results that continue to improve over time.

        Ingredients Used In Biostimulator Injections

        Biostimulator injections typically contain either poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) used in Sculptra or calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) used in Radiesse. Both ingredients are safe, biocompatible, and have been used in medicine for decades.  As your body absorbs them, they leave behind fresh, new collagen that strengthens and rejuvenates your skin naturally.

        Why Collagen And Elastin Decline With Age

        Collagen production decreases by about one percent per year starting in our mid-20s. Sun exposure, stress, and environmental factors accelerate this decline. This leads to: collagen weakens, patients notice sagging skin, wrinkles, thinning skin, and changes in texture.   Biostimulators help reverse this decline by restoring your skin’s ability to rebuild itself.

        How Biostimulators Work Compared To Traditional Fillers

        Fillers and biostimulators both rejuvenate the face, but in totally different ways:

        Fillers

        • Add immediate volume and contour
        • Great for lips, cheeks, jawlines, and deeper folds
        • Results are instant

        Biostimulators

        • Rebuild collagen and elastin
        • Improve firmness, texture, and overall skin quality
        • Results appear gradually and last longer
        • Create natural-looking lift without obvious “volume”

        Most patients benefit from a combination of both, depending on their goals.

         Fillers are best for restoring lost volume in targeted areas like cheeks and lips, while biostimulators work across larger regions of the face and body to improve overall firmness, elasticity, and texture.

        Where Fillers Excel vs Biostimulators

        Fillers create contour and lift immediately. They sharpen jawlines, build cheekbones, and  smooth deeper folds. Biostimulators, by contrast, strengthen the internal scaffolding of the skin. Think of them as a long-term investment in healthier, stronger tissue.

        How To Know Which Option Is Right For You

        Choosing between fillers and biostimulators can be difficult to determine on your own.  . During your consultation, we will examine your specific facial anatomy, skin thickness, elasticity, and areas of concern before recommending a personalized plan. We will always discuss the best treatment plan for you, with you, to ensure we are on the same page about your results before we begin your treatment.  And we always aim for natural, balanced and beautiful outcomes.

        Types Of Biostimulators Used In Aesthetic Medicine

        The two most common biostimulators we use in medical aesthetics today are PLLA-based and CaHA-based formulas.  

        Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) - Sculptra 

        PLLA is known for delivering gradual, long-term results. These biostimulants are designed to restore the lost collagen that contributes to volume decline and laxity. They are ideal for the cheeks, temples, lower face, and even large body areas like buttocks or thighs.

        Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Collagen Radiesse 

        CaHA is a versatile option that boosts both collagen and elastin. Products containing CaHA   improve texture, firmness, and overall skin tone. When diluted, CaHA becomes extremely effective for treating the thin, crepey skin on the neck, chest, arms, and abdomen.

        How Providers Choose The Right Biostimulator For You

        Our injectors select the right treatments for you based on skin quality, current aging changes, treatment area, and long-term goals. Ensuring a  personalized approach helps maintain natural-looking results and supports healthy collagen formation.

        Benefits Of Biostimulators For Skin Rejuvenation

        Biostimulators will tackle skin rejuvenation differently than traditional fillers. Instead of filling in lines, biostimulators will improve the biological processes that keep skin healthy.

        Firmer, Smoother, More Elastic Skin

        As collagen rebuilds, the skin becomes naturally lifted and tighter—without looking overfilled.

        Improved Texture And Radiance

        Thinning, rough, or dull skin becomes thicker, smoother, and more vibrant. Biostimulators can also help soften acne scars.

        Natural-Looking Volume with  Structural Support

        Biostimulators return youthful structure without adding heaviness, giving  a subtle, refreshed outcome.

        Biostimulators  For Skin Concerns And Treatment Areas

        Because they work on skin quality rather than simply adding volume , biostimulators can be used on the face, neck, chest, hand and multiple body areas to restore firmness and elasticity.

        Facial Volume Loss, Laxity And Wrinkles

        As collagen decreases with our natural aging process, patients notice sagging, wrinkles, and hollowing. Biostimulators for skin help rebuild the internal support matrix  , making the face look smoother, firmed and  naturally refreshed. We often pair  these treatments with wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox, Nuceiva, Dysport and Xeomin  for even better results.

        Neck, Chest And Décolletage Rejuvenation

        These delicate areas respond extremely well to CaHA-based  Biostimulators.  Patients see smoother texture, improved firmness, and a beautifully blended, youthful appearance. 

        Body Areas: Arms, Abdomen, Thighs And Knees

        Crepey or thinning skin on the body can be difficult to treat. Biostimulators help strengthen tissue and restore elasticity. When paired with technology like Secret-RF and Fotona lasers treatments, results can be even more transformative.

        Injection Process And Comfort Measures

        We choose a needle or cannula depending on the area being treated. Most patients find the process quick  and well-tolerated. Our expert injectors and advanced injection techniques ensure even, natural-looking collagen stimulation 

        Aftercare And Early Post-Treatment Expectations

        You  may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a short period. Some Biostimulators  include a simple massage routine afterward  to optimize results. Collagen production begins soon after treatment and continues to improve gradually over the following months.

        Are Biostimulators Safe?

        YES!  Biostimulators have long-standing safety records in both aesthetic and medical use for decades.

        Approved Biostimulators  And Their Safety Profile

        PLLA and CaHA have extensive clinical safety data. They are biocompatible, gradually absorbed by the body, and used worldwide in regenerative aesthetic medicine.

        Potential Side Effects And How  Martins Rejuvenation Centre Minimizes The Risk 

        Common side effects include temporary swelling or bruising. Rarely small nodules can appear if aftercare is not followed. Our expert injectors, trained in advanced injection techniques, use advanced techniques and thorough aftercare guidance to ensure the safest possible experience and best results possible.

        Who Is An Ideal Candidate For Biostimulators

        Biostimulators are ideal for people experiencing;  mild to moderate laxity, early volume softening, thinning or crepey skin, fine lines or textural changes or early signs of aging. They’re also popular among younger patients who want to prevent visible aging by maintaining collagen levels.

        How Long Biostimulator Results Last And When To Maintain Them

        One of the biggest advantages of biostimulators is longevity.Collagen Production & Treatment Timeline

        Most patients typically begin to see improvements  six to eight weeks after treatment, with full results appearing between  three to six months.

        Expected Longevity With PLLA And CaHA

        PLLA results may last up to two years. CaHA usually lasts twelve to eighteen months. Because  your own body is doing the work,  results can last even longer depending on your lifestyle and skincare habits.

        When To Book Maintenance Sessions

        We typically recommend maintenance every one to two years depending on age, goals, and collagen quality. Supporting your skin with high-quality medical-grade skincare products can help prolong results.
