The pursuit of eternal youth just got a powerful new ally – Biostimulator treatments. This cutting-edge approach unlocks the secret to radiant and youthful skin and has been taking the world of aesthetics by storm.
Cape Town based Dr. Sheryl Smithies, a distinguished aesthetic dental surgeon and facial aesthetic practitioner, has been championing the revolutionary solution, which utilises growth factors and biostimulators to boost collagen production, effectively countering the natural ageing process and redefining the future of skincare.
“We all know that collagen, which is often referred to as the scaffolding of our skin, is a crucial protein responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness. Sadly, our collagen production takes a nosedive after the age of 35, resulting in sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. In the past, one could only hope and pray for continued younger-looking skin, but Biostimulator treatments are a game-changer as they effectively jumpstart collagen growth, promoting a more youthful appearance,” she explains.
As the unsung heroes of the skin-care realm, Biostimulator treatments work by strategically injecting growth factors and biostimulators into targeted areas on the face. The age defying magic occurs both on and beneath the skin’s surface where specialised substances collaborate to forge new, robust collagen bands, fortifying the skin’s support structure and reversing the ageing process. The benefits are undeniable, offering a firmer, more vibrant complexion that resists the passage of time.
The five distinctive challenges posed by ageing – fine lines and wrinkles, jowl formation, thinning skin, uneven skin texture, including enlarged pores and dryness, and crepe-like skin texture – all succumb to the power of biostimulators. The treatment is most effective in targeting specific areas on the face, delving into varying depths beneath the skin, facilitating tailored and precise rejuvenation.
A collagen cocktail like no other
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. Biostimulator cocktails are a bespoke blend of treatments customised to the needs of individuals and designed to achieve optimal results.
“Think of a Biostimulator cocktail as a carefully crafted recipe for the perfect skin rejuvenation. The potent concoction can include a heady fusion of anything from protein peptides and essential vitamins to hyaluronic acids, and even Botox or fillers,” explains Dr Smithies.
Each cocktail is tailored to address specific concerns and deliver unparalleled results. Moreover, the incorporation of other elements, such as Toxin and cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, accentuates the treatment’s bespoke nature, resulting in an even more exquisite transformation.
While the costs of biostimulator treatments vary based on the personalised prescription, the investment in rejuvenation is remarkably accessible, with prices typically ranging from R2800 and upwards. Usually a minimum of three sessions are required to help build good, strong collagen which takes up to six months to mature, but results are visible from day one. This affordability underscores the commitment to making the benefits of biostimulator treatment available to a broader spectrum of individuals seeking to defy the effects of ageing.
Many of us want to recapture that youthful radiance with vibrant skin, and Biostimulator treatments are the newest addition in skin rejuvenation techniques to watch out for.
