At Prof Chrysis Sofianos Plastic Surgery Johannesburg, we offer advanced biostimulators to help you achieve youthful, radiant skin by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. These minimally invasive treatments are designed to restore volume, improve skin texture, and reduce the signs of ageing, delivering long-lasting and natural-looking results.
What Are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness over time. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, biostimulators gradually improve skin structure, offering subtle and long-lasting rejuvenation.
Benefits of Biostimulators
- Stimulate Collagen Production: Revitalise the skin from within.
- Restore Volume: Address areas of volume loss caused by ageing.
- Enhance Skin Texture: Improve elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Long-Lasting Results: Effects can last up to two years with proper maintenance.
- Natural Appearance: Gradual improvement ensures a subtle, refreshed look.
Areas Treated with Biostimulators
- Midface: Restore volume in the cheeks for a youthful contour.
- Jawline: Define and sculpt the jawline for enhanced facial harmony.
- Temple: Address hollowness in the temples.
- Nasolabial Folds: Smooth deep lines running from the nose to the mouth.
- Décolletage: Rejuvenate the chest area with improved skin tone and elasticity.
