What is injectables and biostimulators?

Dermal fillers are injectable products that restore volume beneath the skin. The most widely used is hyaluronic acid, a substance your body makes naturally that helps skin hold water and stay plump. As a filler, it comes as a gel that can replace volume lost with age, soften wrinkles and folds such as smile lines, and enhance or balance features like the cheeks, chin, jawline, and lips. Results are immediate and, depending on the product and area, usually last from several months to about a year and a half.

A key advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it is temporary: your body gradually absorbs it, and if needed it can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. That is a major reason it is considered one of the safest fillers. Permanent fillers, by contrast, stay in the tissue for good and can cause reactions that are difficult to treat without surgery, so they should not be chosen lightly.

Biostimulators, or collagen stimulators, work differently. Substances such as calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid, among others, prompt your body to produce new collagen over time. Rather than filling a specific line, they improve firmness and skin quality over the following weeks and typically require more than one session.

Both can be combined with each other or with botulinum toxin, depending on what each area of the face needs. It is best to use only approved products with a solid clinical track record.

Who is it for?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are a good fit if you notice volume loss in your face, deep folds, thin lips, or features you would like to define, and you want an immediate result without surgery. Biostimulators are often chosen when the main concern is mild laxity or a loss of firmness and skin quality. Because recovery is minimal, these treatments fit easily into a short trip to Mexico City, though biostimulators may need a return visit.

Fillers are not a substitute for a facelift when there is excess skin or significant sagging. At your consultation, your surgeon will look at your face as a whole to recommend the right product, amount, and areas, with a natural-looking result as the priority.

You may be a candidate if…

  • You have volume loss, folds, or wrinkles you would like to soften.
  • You want to enhance features like your cheeks, chin, jawline, or lips without surgery.
  • You are in good general health with no active infection in the area.
  • You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You have no history of reactions to fillers or their ingredients, or you will discuss it at your consultation.
  • You have realistic expectations and understand results are temporary and need maintenance.

Your procedure, step by step

  1. Consultationyour surgeon evaluates your face, medical history, and goals, and chooses the product and treatment areas.
  2. Prepthe skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is usually applied; sometimes local anesthetic is injected.
  3. Injectionthe product is placed directly in the area with a fine needle or cannula. The session usually takes 10 to 20 minutes.
  4. Immediate caresymmetry is checked and a cold compress may be applied to reduce swelling.
  5. Follow-upresults are reviewed over the following weeks; with biostimulators, any additional sessions are scheduled.

Recovery

How you'll feel, stage by stage

  1. First few hours

    You may have swelling, redness, or tenderness, especially in the lips. Applying cold helps reduce it.

  2. 24 to 48 hours

    Swelling and redness usually subside. Most people return to their activities right away, with a little makeup if they like.

  3. First few weeks

    Any bruising fades gradually and the hyaluronic acid settles. With biostimulators, new collagen starts to show gradually.

  4. Following months

    The product is slowly absorbed depending on its type and the area treated. Your physician will advise when a touch-up makes sense.
