What Are Collagen Biostimulators?
These are injectable compounds (e.g., poly-L-lactic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite) that do not add immediate volume but instead trigger fibroblasts to gradually rebuild collagen over time.
How Do They Work?
-
Injected into deeper dermal layers or subcutaneous tissue
-
Induce a mild inflammatory response, which activates fibroblasts
-
Gradual collagen production results in firmer, smoother skin
