Biostimulators vs. Typical Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Dermal fillers have become a popular way to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate the face. However, not all fillers are created equal. At Lost Key Medspa, we specialize in biostimulatory fillers, a unique category of injectables that do more than just provide immediate results—they stimulate your body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting benefits. But how do biostimulators compare to traditional fillers? Let’s break it down.
What Are Typical Dermal Fillers?
Traditional fillers, like those made with hyaluronic acid (HA), are designed to add volume and hydration to specific areas of the face. They work by filling in wrinkles, plumping lips, and restoring contours where volume has been lost.
Key Features of Traditional Fillers
- Main Ingredient: Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body.
- Immediate Results: Effects are visible right after treatment.
- Temporary: Results typically last 6-12 months, depending on the product and treatment area.
- Reversible: HA fillers can be dissolved if needed.
HA fillers are an excellent choice for clients seeking quick, reversible results with minimal downtime.
What Are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators, or biostimulatory fillers, go beyond just filling wrinkles. These injectables stimulate your skin to produce its own collagen over time, improving skin texture, elasticity, and volume naturally. Common biostimulators include Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) and Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid).
Key Features of Biostimulators
- Main Ingredients: Materials like calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid that encourage collagen production.
- Gradual Results: Visible improvement occurs over weeks to months as collagen is rebuilt.
- Long-Lasting: Results can last 1-2 years or more, depending on the product.
- Natural-Looking: Enhances the skin’s overall structure and resilience over time.
Biostimulators are ideal for those seeking a more natural, long-term solution to aging concerns.
Why Choose Biostimulators?
While traditional fillers are excellent for immediate volume and specific corrections, biostimulators offer a more comprehensive approach to anti-aging. By encouraging collagen production, biostimulators not only improve volume but also enhance skin quality and resilience over time.
At Lost Key Medspa, we focus on biostimulatory fillers because of their ability to provide natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. They’re especially effective for clients looking to combat volume loss, improve skin laxity, or achieve a subtle, refreshed appearance without frequent touch-ups.
Is a Biostimulator Right for You?
If you’re considering fillers but want a solution that promotes lasting skin health and rejuvenation, biostimulators might be the perfect choice. Our team at Lost Key Medspa will work with you to determine the best treatment plan based on your goals and skin needs.
