Biostimulators
Supporting collagen renewal from within.
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that support the skin’s collagen renewal processes. Depending on the product selected, they may help improve skin firmness, soften certain lines and address age-related facial volume loss.
At Rexults Clinic, treatment is tailored to your skin condition, facial structure and goals, with changes developing gradually over time.
What are Biostimulators?
Collagen provides structural support to the skin. As we age, collagen production slows and existing collagen breaks down, contributing to reduced firmness, wrinkles and changes in facial contours.
Biostimulators work by encouraging collagen formation rather than relying solely on the immediate filling effect of a conventional dermal filler. Different formulations have different roles: some focus on gradual volume restoration, while others are used to improve skin quality.

What Concerns Can Biostimulators Help With?
Skin Laxity / Loss of Elasticity
Collagen stimulation may help improve firmness in skin that has become less resilient with age. It does not replace surgery where significant excess skin or sagging is present.
Lines & Wrinkles
Improved collagen support may soften certain lines and folds. Wrinkles caused mainly by repeated muscle movement may require a different treatment approach.
Volume Loss
Selected biostimulator formulations can help gradually restore fullness in areas affected by age-related volume loss.
Changes in Skin Quality
Depending on the formulation, treatment may help improve skin texture and suppleness where reduced collagen support contributes to an uneven or crepey appearance.
How It Works
Biostimulators are placed into selected tissue layers to encourage collagen renewal. The formulation, injection depth and treatment areas are chosen according to your individual needs.
1. Targeted Placement
Your doctor administers the selected product into areas identified during your assessment.
2. Collagen Stimulation
The treatment encourages a tissue response that supports new collagen formation. The mechanism differs between products.
3. Gradual Improvement
Changes develop over the following weeks and months as collagen forms. Early swelling or fullness should not be mistaken for the final result.
What To Expect During Your Treatment
Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
Your doctor will assess your skin, facial structure and areas of concern. Your medical history, allergies, medications and previous injectable treatments will also be reviewed.
The consultation includes a discussion of suitability, expected outcomes, risks and alternative treatments.
Step 2: Preparation
The treatment areas are cleansed and marked where appropriate. Numbing cream or local anaesthetic may be used, depending on the product and injection technique.
Step 3: Treatment
The biostimulator is administered using a fine needle or cannula. You may experience brief stinging, pressure or tenderness during treatment.
The amount used and injection technique depend on the selected formulation and treatment goals.
Step 4: Immediate Recovery
Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising may develop around the injection sites. Your doctor will explain what to expect and provide instructions specific to your treatment.
Possible complications include infection, persistent lumps or nodules, and inflammatory reactions. Rare but serious injection complications can occur if a blood vessel is affected.
Step 5: Recovery & Aftercare
Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your doctor. Advice on exercise, heat exposure, skincare and massage will depend on the product used; massage should only be performed if specifically instructed.
Seek urgent medical attention if you experience severe or increasing pain, unusual skin discolouration or any change in vision.
Follow-up appointments allow your doctor to assess your progress and plan further treatment where needed.
