Biostimulation in Aesthetic Medicine: What It Is and How It Works
Hi, I’m Alessia Buscarini, and I’m pleased to tell you about a treatment that is becoming increasingly popular in the field of aesthetic medicine: biostimulation. It is an innovative technique that I frequently use to improve the quality of my skin, acting on different levels and helping to counteract the signs of aging in a natural and progressive way.
Biostimulation is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to stimulate the skin’s natural biological functions, activating cell regeneration and improving the appearance of the face and other areas of the body. It uses biocompatible substances, such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids, to promote the production of collagen and elastin, essential for keeping the skin young, toned and radiant.
What is Biostimulation?
The term biostimulation refers to a treatment that uses microinjections of specific substances, based on hyaluronic acid, to stimulate the skin to produce its own structural elements, such as collagen and elastin. This natural process helps to improve skin elasticity and tone, while also reducing fine lines and visible signs of aging.
Over time, our skin loses the ability to regenerate as quickly and efficiently. This leads to a reduction in the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, causing the appearance of wrinkles, loss of tone and a dull appearance. Biostimulation intervenes precisely on these processes, helping the skin to regain its vitality.
How does it work?
The treatment is based on microinjections that are carried out directly into the dermis, the deep layer of the skin. The substances I use – including hyaluronic acid, amino acids and vitamins – are injected through very fine needles in small quantities, stimulating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This stimulus promotes natural regeneration, improving the texture, hydration and firmness of the skin.
The result? A more toned, hydrated and visibly younger skin. The results are not immediate, but progress in the weeks following treatment, as the regeneration process takes time to fully manifest.
What substances do I use?
The substances used are chosen according to the specific needs of your skin. Usually, I include:
• Hyaluronic acid: one of the main components of the skin, responsible for hydration. Thanks to its hygroscopic properties, hyaluronic acid helps retain water in the tissues, giving turgor and freshness.
• Amino acids: these are the building blocks of proteins such as collagen, which are essential for the structure and elasticity of the skin.
• Vitamins (A, C, E): powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and promote cell regeneration.
• Trace elements: essential for skin metabolism, they help improve the functioning of skin cells.
The Benefits of Biostimulation
In my practice, I have been able to observe numerous benefits in patients who have undergone this treatment. Key benefits include:
• Smoother and firmer skin: the texture improves, reducing fine wrinkles and giving a younger and fresher appearance.
• Deep hydration: hyaluronic acid promotes long-lasting hydration, which makes the skin brighter and healthier.
• Cell regeneration: thanks to the stimulation of fibroblasts, the skin produces new collagen cells and fibers, strengthening its structure.
• Prevention of aging: slows down the appearance of the signs of aging, thanks to the stimulation of natural biological processes.
Where is Biostimulation Applied?
This treatment is extremely versatile and can be used on different areas of the body:
• Face: to reduce wrinkles and improve radiance.
• Neck and décolleté: to counteract sagging skin.
• Hands: to restore hydration and firmness to thin skin.
Procedure and Results
Each biostimulation session lasts about 20-30 minutes. The procedure is fast, minimally invasive and does not require long recovery times. Typically, I recommend cycles of multiple sessions for optimal results, which gradually manifest themselves over the following weeks. The treatment should generally be repeated two or three times after a few weeks and the results can last up to 6 months, and periodic sessions can be scheduled to maintain them.
Risks and Contraindications
Although biostimulation is a safe procedure, there are some minor risks, such as redness, swelling, or small bruises, which usually disappear within a few days. Contraindications include conditions such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or active skin infections.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for an effective and natural way to improve your skin quality without invasive interventions, biostimulation is the ideal solution. By stimulating the regeneration processes, this treatment will help you achieve younger, firmer skin naturally.
