Understanding Biostimulators

As the demand for long-lasting, natural-looking results grows, biostimulators have emerged as a game-changing solution in medical esthetics. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply replace lost volume, biostimulators actively stimulate the body’s own collagen production, offering gradual, lasting improvements in skin texture, firmness, and structure. At the Esthetic Skin Institute (ESI)—based in Ft. Lauderdale and offering courses nationwide—we train providers to harness the full potential of biostimulators through hands-on, medically grounded instruction.

What Are Biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable agents that encourage neocollagenesis, or new collagen formation. The two common FDA-approved biostimulators are:

• Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid)
  
  
• Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite)
  
  

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which offer immediate plumping, biostimulators work gradually over weeks or months, delivering long-lasting structural improvements and rejuvenation.

How Do They Work?

When injected into the skin’s deeper layers, biostimulators act as scaffolding or stimulants, prompting fibroblasts to create collagen. This results in:

• Firmer, thicker skin
  
  
• Improved skin texture and tone
  
  
• Natural volume restoration
  
  
• Reduction in wrinkles and skin laxity
  
  

They’re ideal for patients seeking subtle, progressive improvement rather than dramatic changes.

Ideal Treatment Areas

Biostimulators are versatile and can be used in multiple areas, including:

• Cheeks and temples
  
  
• Jawline and lower face
  
  
• Neck and décolletage
  
  
• Hands
  
  
• Buttocks and thighs (for skin tightening or volume)
  
  

ESI’s comprehensive training programs show providers how to assess facial anatomy, select the right product, and inject with precision to ensure optimal outcomes.

Biostimulators vs. Dermal Fillers

For long-term skin rejuvenation, biostimulators are unmatched—and patients are increasingly asking for them by name.
