If you want to treat sagging skin and regain firmer, smoother and brighter skin, collagen biostimulators can achieve the results you’re looking for.
As we get older, our capacity for cell renewal and collagen production decreases. From around the age of 30, the first expression marks and signs of sagging skin begin to appear. Aesthetic medicine is now able to address these issues with minimally invasive treatments that offer natural and progressive results.
In this article, we present the 3 main types of collagen biostimulators and the effects they have on the skin.
Como funcionam os bioestimuladores de colagénio?
Collagen biostimulators are injectable substances that trigger an inflammatory process that promotes collagen production. This increase is gradual and lasts for several weeks to months, providing a natural and progressive improvement in the appearance of the skin. They can be applied to both the face and body:
- Rosto: Tratam sinais evidentes de envelhecimento, como a flacidez das maçãs do rosto e os sulcos nasogenianos vincados.
- Corpo: Oferecem bons resultados a quem procura aumentar e moldar os glúteos, assim como melhorar a firmeza e qualidade da pele de outras partes do corpo, como os joelhos e a barriga.
3 Tipos de bioestimuladores de colagénio
There are three main types of collagen biostimulators:
- Hidroxiapatita de Cálcio (Radiesse): Estimula a produção de colagénio e proporciona um efeito de preenchimento. É comum ser utilizado para melhorar a definição do contorno da face ou de áreas que requerem mais volume, como as maçãs do rosto.
- Policaprolactona (Ellansé): Combina os benefícios do estímulo da produção de colagénio com a durabilidade dos resultados. É eficaz no tratamento da flacidez e das rugas. Tal como o Radiesse, dependendo do número de aplicações, pode dar algum volume à pele.
- Ácido Polilático (Sculptra): Ao contrário dos anteriores, não proporciona o efeito de volume e é muito usado para tratar a flacidez e as rugas, sendo eficaz na melhoria da qualidade da pele.
Quais os resultados deste tratamento na pele do rosto?
Collagen biostimulators contribute significantly to skin rejuvenation. Here we describe the most obvious benefits of these medical-aesthetic treatments for the face:
1. Rejuvenescer o rosto de forma natural
Treatment with biostimulators promotes the natural production of collagen, one of the proteins that support and firm the skin. For satisfactory results, at least 3 sessions are required, with a one-month interval between each application, and the effects can last up to 18 months.
2. Combater a flacidez
The increase in collagen makes the skin firmer and more elastic. By combating sagging skin on the face, wrinkles and expression lines become smoother, revealing a more youthful appearance.
3. Melhorar a textura da pele
The skin becomes smoother and more even with an improved texture. This is particularly noticeable in areas where the skin has lost freshness due to skin ageing or sun damage.
4. Aumentar o brilho da pele
The production of new collagen and elastin also contributes to a healthy glow. This natural effect of the treatment leaves the skin looking smoother and brighter.
Collagen biostimulators are a safe and effective treatment for those looking to rejuvenate the face, combat sagging skin and improve skin texture and radiance.
