Biostimulators applications are also called 'Intelligent filler' and act by stimulating collagen synthesis. Its contents are different from the Hyaluronic Acid that we classically use to treat facial volume loss and sagging. These ingredients include bioseramides such as calcium hydroxylapatite, a new generation of products that contain polycaprolactone or polylactic acid (PLLA). They are preferred to stimulate collagen synthesis by irrigating it at certain rates more often as it can be used to directly voluminate the tissue. Its effects on skin elasticity are very high. It is especially preferred in patients where the loss of elasticity is evident. Because it stimulates one's own collagen, the results are also more natural. Classic hyaluronic acid can be combined with fillers or energy-based devices such as focal ultrasound, needleed heliofrequency. biostimulators may take 2-3 months for the effects to sit for the adaptation of one's own collagen.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Treatment
calcium hydroxylapatite treatment (calcium hydroxylapatite treatment) is a treatment method to promote skin health and restore the basic support that the skin needs. It is especially used to restore moisture lost by the skin, increase its elasticity, and reduce wrinkles. The calcium hydroxylapatite treatment is applied to the deep layers of the skin, promoting regeneration at the cellular level. The minerals contained in it contribute to the skin's nutrition and cell regeneration, thus gaining a more vivid and shiny appearance.
What Is Calcium Hydroxylapatite Used For?
calcium hydroxylapatite treatment contains small mineral-based spheres in a carrier gel. It contains calcium hydroxylapatite, meaning calcium mineral. The calcium hydroxylapatite treatment is actually bone dust and is a product used in dentistry and in many fields. When we inject it into the skin, it increases the production of new collagen from fibroblasts. It is a material compatible with the body. Therefore, the risk of allergies is very low. It can be preferred to improve skin quality in both face, décolleté, neck and back of the hand, especially in people where the loss of elasticity is evident.
What should be considered after calcium hydroxylapatite treatment?
There are several important points to consider after calcium hydroxylapatite treatment. First, direct exposure to sunlight is not recommended, so using sunscreen after the procedure is important. Heavy make-up, hot environments such as Turkish baths and saunas, and strenuous exercise should also be avoided for the first 24 hours. The skin should be allowed to rest. Mild swelling or redness may occur in the treated area, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly. Drinking plenty of water after the procedure helps maintain the skin's moisture balance. Avoiding extremely hot or cold environments will help speed up recovery.
PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)
Polylactic acid is fillers used to increase collagen production that decreases over time in the skin and restore the skin's natural fullness. PLLA is not filler, it is produced from a biodegradable material and over time promotes collagen production under the skin. It makes the skin look younger and healthier. PLLA can be used in various parts of the face and offers a long-term effect. It also offers an effective solution for relieving signs of ageing.
What Is Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)?
Polylactic acid is a material that stimulates the collagen produced by the body naturally and provides fullness in the skin over time. Unlike classical fillers, PLLA does not provide instant volume; instead, it promotes collagen production, eventually providing fullness in the skin. As it dissolves under PLLAcilt, the skin naturally regenerates and gains a youthful appearance. This process yields more pronounced results within a few months and offers lasting effects for a long time.
PLLA is the raw material of stitches that have been used in surgeries for many years. Today, it is preferred to improve skin quality as a strong bio-stimulator, i.e. as a stimulant. It has been used for over 20 years to improve skin quality and is an FDA-approved treatment. Unlike the PLLA classic fillers, it does not give immediate volume but increases collagen and support tissue, providing good rejuvenation and tightness in the skin.
What Is PLLA Used For?
PLLA increases collagen production in the lower layers of the skin, providing long-term fullness in the skin. This substance is used to relieve volume loss in the skin, make facial contours more prominent, and alleviate fine wrinkles. Polylactic acid is injected under the skin, increasing collagen production over time and helping the skin look tighter, elastic and youthful. It is particularly effective in areas such as the cheek area, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
How Is PLLA Treatment Performed?
Consultation: The specialist physician assesses the skin structure of the patient and determines the areas in which the filler will be applied optimally.
Determining Application Areas: Which areas of the face to apply to are planned according to the skin's needs.
Anaesthesia Application: Prior to the filler process, local anaesthetic cream is applied for the patient's comfort.
Injection: PLLA is injected under the skin with the help of cannula into the subcutaneous area.
Post-treatment Monitoring: Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves quickly. Patients are advised to massage their face for several days; the doctor explains the technique and frequency. A specialist monitors recovery. Depending on the patient's needs, a 2nd or 3rd treatment may be required at intervals of 6-8 weeks. Effects last longer than 24 months.
Liquid Facelift
Liquid facelift is a popular practice among face rejuvenation methods without surgery. This process is done to relieve signs of ageing, reducing sagging and wrinkles on the skin. Liquid face lift is done using fillers and biostimulators injections to make the facial contours more prominent and give volume to the skin. These procedures, which support the structure of the skin, improve the overall appearance of the face and provide a rejuvenating effect without requiring surgery.
Although some otors call all face applications with classic filler a liquid facelift, 'liquid facelift' is mainly used for the application of PLLA, which we irrigate with serum physiologic i.e. steri liquid.
What Is a Liquid Facelift?
Liquid facelift is a procedure used to treat sagging, wrinkles and loss of volume that occurs over time in the skin. To restore volume loss on the face and make the facial contours more prominent
Injections are used. The liquid facelift process promotes the production of natural collagen with substances injected under the skin and makes the skin look fuller, tighter and younger.
How Is a Liquid Facelift Performed?
A liquid facelift is generally performed under local anaesthesia by injecting dermal fillers beneath the skin. During the procedure, the doctor injects dermal fillers into selected areas to shape facial contours and address volume loss. Although some sources use the term liquid facelift for all facial filler procedures, a liquid facelift is performed by applying collagen biostimulators across the whole face. The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes, and results begin to appear immediately.
Which Areas Can Be Treated with a Non-surgical Liquid Facelift?
The application of liquid facelift, which is a non-surgical facelift, is applied to the following areas on the face:
Cheeks
Temples
The temple area within the hairline
The cheek area in front of the ear
Jawline
Nasolabial folds
