Biostimulants
Biostimulants, also called ‘LIQUID FACELIFT’ and ‘SMART FILLER’, are medical aesthetic products that are injected under the skin to stimulate the skin’s own fibroblasts, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin, rejuvenating the skin, and giving it natural volume. Unlike classic fillers, they not only add volume but also support the skin’s own repair process. Thus, while concealing signs of aging, they allow the skin to renew itself from the inside out. Within weeks, the skin looks firmer, younger, and more toned.
The best part of this application is that because collagen is stimulated gradually, there is no sudden swelling; over time, a noticeable but effective rejuvenation is seen that is harmonious with the rest of the face. Therefore, biostimulants are ideal for those who want to rejuvenate their appearance without anyone noticing.
WHAT ARE BIOSTIMULANTS?
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA); Strongly stimulates new collagen production. Provides natural fullness and lifting. It dissolves on its own under the skin over time.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) provides skin renewal by increasing both volume and collagen production. It consists of micro-spheres that dissolve over time.
- Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a long-acting biostimulant that supports collagen production for approximately two years.
- Hybrid Products Containing Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Biostimulants; Some new generation products contain hyaluronic acids, skin-renewing amino acids and peptides, and biostimulants all in a single syringe.
HOW DO BIOSTIMULANTS WORK?
Biostimulants stimulate fibroblasts in the applied area, increasing collagen and elastin production. They are powerful collagen stimulators. Skin tissue rejuvenates over time, becoming firmer and tighter. It provides a more natural and dynamic state of well-being.
In short, we can talk about two bonus effects: Natural rejuvenation and long-lasting effects.

HOW ARE BIOSTIMULANTS APPLIED?
Before the procedure, anatomical areas are marked. If necessary, a local anesthetic cream/spray is applied.
The product is injected homogeneously, usually with a fine-tipped cannula or, in some applications, a fine-tipped needle. It is important that it is applied by a skilled physician with knowledge of anatomy. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. Pain is minimal. Mild redness, swelling, and tenderness may occur after the procedure. These are temporary. Depending on the product used, your doctor may recommend massage after the procedure. It is recommended to protect yourself from the sun for 1 week, avoid strenuous exercise, and refrain from using saunas. You can return to normal life immediately after the procedure.
WHEN WILL THE EFFECTS OF BIOSTIMULANTS BE SEEN?
The first effects begin within a few weeks. Collagen production is stimulated around a month, and the best results are observed after 1-3 months. The duration and permanence of the effect is approximately 2 years.
WHO IS SUITABLE FOR BIOSTIMULANT APPLICATIONS? AND WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF SESSIONS?
It is suitable for female and male patients who are afraid of the swelling associated with other filler applications, have lost elasticity in their skin, want natural and long-term rejuvenation, or want to delay the aging process at an early stage. The average age limit is 30. Your doctor will determine the needs based on age. The number of sessions is approximately 2, with each session taking place every 3 months. The number of sessions may vary depending on the patient.
