Biostimulator injectables, or biomodulators, have revolutionized acne scar treatment. These injections improve the appearance of acne scars and heal them from the inside, leaving you with beautiful skin. If you are tired of pitted acne scars and blemishes, this might be the perfect treatment for you.
What are Biomodulators?
Biostimulators are unique compounds that include hyaluronic acid molecules, polynucleotides, and collagen stimulating compounds. While they are injectables, they are different from dermal fillers. Biostimulators increase collagen production in your body, giving you natural looking, long-lasting results. Unlike lasers, injectables offer fast results and little to no recovery time.
Are Biostimulators Dermal Fillers?
No. Dermal fillers add volume under the skin. Biostimulators, or bio-remodeling injections, stimulate your own immune system to boost collage production, skin cells, and adipose tissues. Most atrophic acne scars have an element of fat and collagen loss, making these injections the perfect treatment.
Since they regenerate your own dermal matrix, biostimulators offer a long-term solution to acne scars.
How Biostimulants Work
These injections are used for more than just acne scars. They can also help regenerate and refresh your appearance and combat signs of aging. For the context of acne scars, the goal is to stimulate your body to repair atrophic scars by regenerating and remodeling the collagen, fat, and HA. While dermal fillers can cover up acne scars for a bit, biomodulators offer long lasting results.
Biostimulators vs. Laser Treatment
Biostimulators are a smart choice because they offer little to no downtime, whereas laser treatment requires some recovery time. The skin recovers very quickly from injections. These two treatments also work in separate ways. Lasers work from the top down, meaning the upper layers of skin can suffer collateral damage. Bio-injections are administered at the skin’s surface precisely where they’re required.
Are Biostimulators Right for Me?
Biostimulators work great for certain types of acne scars. To find out if this treatment is a good choice for you, please speak to your dermatologist.
