The natural process of aging involves decreasing amounts of collagen production and loss of skin elasticity. This is most apparent in areas such as the neck, hands, decollate as well as other areas such as the arms where telltale signs of aging are often apparent.

Biostimulation involves using products such as Radiesse or calcium hydroxyapaptite to stimulate the body’s own skin cells to produce more collagen and upregulate markers of skin elasticity to improve the look and youthfulness of treated skin. Once injected, the skin actively works to replace the product with type I collagen and elastin to create long term tissue remodeling. This leaves you with tighter and more robust skin. Not only can aging skin be treated but the look of stretch marks as well as cellulite can be improved significantly using this method. This is a great way to treat skin laxity in areas such as the abdomen, neck and arms, especially in conjunction with Skintyte and other skin tightening modalities.

We also use Volite, a brand of hyaluronic acid made specifically to hydrate and plump the skin, all while increasing skin luminosity. Unlike traditional fillers, this is used not to add volume, but to add hydration and a glow back to tired and dehydrated skin. By upregulating markers of skin hydration, Volite works to progressively improve the look of dehydrated, dull skin. This innovative way to hydrate the skin from within is often used in the cheek areas to address fine lines and dry skin around the mouth and on the cheeks. Fine lines developing on the upper lip? No problem, Volite can provide hydration and plumping for up to 9 months!

Biostimulation is a great nonsurgical treatment to improve the tightness and radiance of treated skin. Let us know what your concern is and we can help you choose the best treatment for you. The treatment is done in office with topical numbing so the procedure is comfortable and well tolerated. Like any injectable, bruising is possible so we encourage you to book your treatment well in advance of any important social engagements. Treatment results can last up to 18 months, and are prolonged with a maintenance treatment every 12-18 months.
