Q: When will I see results?
The non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid component may provide an initial hydrating or skin-conditioning effect following treatment. Collagen stimulation is gradual.
Early changes may become noticeable over the following weeks, with further improvement developing over several months as new collagen forms and the tissues remodel.
Results vary between individuals and depend on factors including:
• Age
• Baseline collagen levels
• Skin quality
• Degree of facial volume loss
• Treatment area
• Number of treatments
• Lifestyle factors
• General health
• Individual biological response
A treatment series is commonly recommended to achieve the most meaningful collagen remodelling.
Q: When is my Clinical Review
A clinical review is generally recommended approximately six to eight weeks after Deep Biostimulation treatment.
During your review, we will assess:
• Your clinical response
• Changes in tissue support
• Skin firmness and elasticity
• Treatment symmetry
• Progress towards your goals
• Whether further treatment may be beneficial
Skin Biostimulation programs are usually reviewed at each session, with treatments commonly spaced approximately four weeks apart. Treatment timing may be adjusted according to your individual response.
Q: How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Many patients benefit from a series of approximately three treatments. However, there is no universal treatment protocol. Your recommended program will depend on:
• The type of biostimulation being performed
• Your facial anatomy
• The severity of volume loss or laxity
• The area being treated
• Your baseline skin quality
• Your desired outcome
• Your response to the initial treatment
• Whether treatment is being combined with laser or other modalities
Maintenance treatment may be considered following completion of the initial program.
Q: What Does Biostimulation Treatment Involve?
Your regenerative treatment journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation.
This includes:
1. Discussion of your concerns and desired outcome
2. Review of your medical history and current medications
3. Assessment of your facial anatomy and skin quality
4. Clinical photography where appropriate
5. Discussion of suitable and unsuitable treatment options
6. Explanation of expected outcomes and limitations
7. Discussion of alternative treatment options
8. Review of possible side effects and complications
9. Development of a personalised treatment plan
Treatment is only performed where it is considered medically appropriate and informed consent has been completed.
Q: What Are The Possible Side Effects and Risks
All medical procedures carry potential risks.
Temporary effects may include:
• Redness
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Bruising
• Pinpoint bleeding
• Itching
• Localised sensitivity
• Temporary unevenness
• Palpable product
• Small lumps or nodules
Less common or more significant complications can occur and will be discussed during your consultation.
These may include:
• Infection
• Prolonged inflammation
• Persistent nodules
• Granuloma formation
• Vascular injury
• Pigmentary change
• Scarring
• Asymmetry
• An unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome
No injectable or biostimulatory treatment should be considered risk-free. Seeking treatment from an appropriately qualified practitioner, completing a thorough medical assessment and following aftercare instructions are important parts of reducing avoidable risk.
Q: Who May Not Be Suitable?
Treatment may not be appropriate for patients who:
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have an active infection in the treatment area
• Have active inflammatory skin disease
• Have certain autoimmune or connective-tissue conditions
• Have a history of abnormal scarring or granuloma formation
• Have a known sensitivity to treatment components
• Have recently undergone another procedure in the treatment area
• Are taking medications that may affect treatment safety
• Have expectations that cannot reasonably be achieved
Suitability is determined individually during your consultation.
