BIOSTIMULATORS

What is BIOSTIMULATORS?

Biostimulators are an advanced category of injectable treatments that work by stimulating your body's natural collagen production to restore facial structure, improve skin quality and create long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation. Rather than simply replacing lost volume, biostimulators encourage your skin to rebuild its own support framework over time.

At Dr Sultan's London clinic, every treatment plan is tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Depending on your needs, your treatment may include Sculptra, Radiesse or other regenerative therapies designed to improve skin firmness, restore facial volume and support healthy collagen production.

Additional information

  • Biostimulators are injectable treatments that stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.

    From our mid-twenties onwards, collagen production gradually declines, leading to:

    • Skin laxity

    • Facial volume loss

    • Hollow cheeks

    • Reduced skin elasticity

    • Fine lines

    • Loss of facial definition

    Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which provide immediate volume, biostimulators encourage your body to regenerate its own collagen over time. The result is gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation that can continue to improve for several months after treatment.

  • Different products are designed for different concerns.

    Sculptra

    Best for:

    • Facial volume loss

    • Hollow cheeks

    • Temples

    • Facial ageing

    • Full-face collagen restoration

    Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates collagen production gradually over several months. It is ideal for patients seeking subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation without looking overfilled.

    Radiesse

    Best for:

    • Jawline definition

    • Chin enhancement

    • Lower face

    • Hands

    • Immediate support with long-term collagen stimulation

    Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended within a gel carrier. It provides immediate structural support whilst stimulating new collagen production as the gel is naturally absorbed.

    JULÄINE™

    Best for:

    • Early facial ageing

    • Skin quality improvement

    • Fine lines

    • Facial firmness

    • Natural collagen regeneration

    JULÄINE is a next-generation PLLA collagen biostimulator designed to gradually restore skin quality by stimulating the body's own collagen production. Like other regenerative injectables, results develop progressively over several months, producing natural-looking rejuvenation without creating an overfilled appearance.

    As a newer collagen-stimulating treatment, JULÄINE may be suitable for patients seeking gradual facial rejuvenation and long-lasting improvements in skin quality. During your consultation, Dr Sultan will advise whether JULÄINE, Sculptra or Radiesse is the most appropriate option based on your anatomy and treatment goals.

    Treatment

    The chosen biostimulator is carefully injected into targeted areas using advanced injection techniques.

    Treatment usually takes 45–60 minutes.

    Results

    Some products provide immediate structural support, whilst collagen stimulation develops gradually.

    Most patients notice progressive improvement over 6–12 weeks, with results continuing to develop for several months.

  • Biostimulators may be suitable for patients who:

    • Have age-related volume loss

    • Want natural-looking rejuvenation

    • Prefer regenerative treatments

    • Want longer-lasting improvements

    • Wish to stimulate collagen naturally

  • Regenerative facial rejuvenation requires an understanding of both facial anatomy and the ageing process.

    Dr Sultan takes a personalised approach to collagen restoration, selecting the most appropriate biostimulator based on your facial structure, skin quality and long-term aesthetic goals.

    Rather than chasing trends, every treatment plan is designed to create balanced, natural results that age well over time.
