Designed for
real concerns

Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, biostimulators work gradually by triggering your body's own collagen production. This results in a subtle, progressive improvement in skin firmness and volume that looks remarkably natural.

  • Gradual facial volume loss
  • Sunken cheeks and temples
  • Overall skin laxity and thinning
  • Early signs of facial ageing
  • Body areas needing subtle volumising (e.g. buttocks, hands)
  • Long-term skin quality improvement

How to
prepare

A little preparation goes a long way toward a comfortable session and optimal results. Dr. Anna will go over a personalised pre-care plan during your consultation — but here's what to generally expect.

  • Avoid blood thinners and alcohol for a few days prior, if possible
  • Stay well hydrated leading up to treatment
  • Discuss any previous filler or biostimulator history with Dr. Anna
  • Avoid intense sun exposure before your session
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

Recovery,
day by day

Downtime is real but manageable. Most patients describe the days following treatment as feeling like mild sunburn, with visible "bronzing" as the skin renews itself. Here's a general idea of what to expect.

Day 1–2

Mild Swelling

Some swelling or small bumps at injection points are normal and typically resolve within a few days.

Week 1–2

Settling Phase

Initial swelling fully resolves; results are not yet visible as collagen stimulation has just begun.

Week 6–8

Gradual Build

Skin begins to feel firmer as new collagen forms — improvement builds gradually rather than appearing all at once.

Month 3+

Full Results

The full volumising and firming effect becomes apparent, often requiring a second or third session for optimal results.

Caring for
your skin

Following the aftercare plan closely is one of the biggest factors in how well your skin heals and how long your results last. Dr. Anna provides a full written aftercare guide after every session.

  • Massage treated areas as instructed by Dr. Anna (specific to product used)
  • Avoid touching or applying pressure to injection sites for the first 24 hours
  • Stay hydrated to support the collagen-building process
  • Avoid saunas and intense heat exposure for 48 hours
  • Be patient — results build gradually over weeks, not days
  • Attend all sessions in your recommended series for best results

Frequently asked
questions

How is this different from regular dermal filler?+

Regular fillers add immediate volume through the hyaluronic acid or other gel itself, while biostimulators like Sculptra work by stimulating your own collagen production — making results more gradual but also longer-lasting.

Why do I need multiple sessions?+

Collagen stimulation builds cumulatively. Most protocols recommend 2-3 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal, lasting volumisation.

How long do results last?+

Results from biostimulators typically last 18-24 months, considerably longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, due to the new collagen formation.

Will people be able to tell I've had treatment?+

The gradual nature of biostimulator results means changes look very natural and subtle, often described as simply 'looking refreshed' rather than visibly treated.

Is there massage required after treatment?+

Yes, certain products like Sculptra require specific post-treatment massage techniques to ensure even product distribution — Dr. Anna will provide detailed instructions.
