What are biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable treatments that improve the skin from within by stimulating your body’s own repair processes — mainly collagen and, depending on the product, elastin and other skin-support structures.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, the goal isn’t instant volume but gradually better skin quality, firmness and elasticity. The best option depends on your skin, concerns, medical history and what you want to achieve, and treatments can be combined as part of a personal skin-renewal plan.

Biostimulators: your questions
How are biostimulators different from fillers?
Fillers add volume and structure straight away. Biostimulators work more slowly, encouraging your skin to make its own collagen, so the result is better skin quality and firmness rather than added volume.
What is PDRN or salmon DNA?
PDRN is a regenerative injectable derived from salmon DNA, used to support skin repair and quality. Your doctor will explain whether it suits your skin.
When will I see results?
Results develop gradually as new collagen forms, so changes build over the weeks after treatment rather than appearing immediately.
Can biostimulators be combined with other treatments?
Yes. They’re often part of a wider skin-renewal plan alongside skin boosters, anti-wrinkle injections or skin treatments. We’ll plan the order and timing with you.
Who you’ll see
Your treatment is planned and performed by one of our doctors, after a proper consultation.
