  • Biostimulators
  • Fat transfer.

What are biostimulators and how do they work?

The most commonly used biostimulator is polylactic acid.

Biostimulators are volumisers which are injected into the skin. They stimulate collagen growth, resulting in revitalising the skin and increasing collagen content.

How is the biostimulator different from a filler?

Biostimulators stimulate your own body to produce collagen rather than just “filling” the area

How is the hip dip biostimulato procedure performed?

The dermal biostimulator is injected via a cannula with local anaesthetic.

How long does the procedure take?

The procedure takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes per treatment.

How many treatments are required?

A minimum of 2 to 4 treatments at 6-8 week intervals are required

Are the effects be seen immediately?

The initial effect of filling is the water injected to introduce the biostimulator. This will dissipate in about 2 days.

The new collagenesis starts at about 2 weeks, and that is when you will start to see the long term improvement.

The full effect will be seen at 3 to 6 months.

How long does the treatment last ?

As the result of this treatment is brand new collagen formation, you can expect the filling effect to last 2 to 4 years.

Are there any side effects and how long do they last?

There can be minor bruising, swelling, minor discomfort.

This will resolve in 5 to 7 days.

Are there any long term complicatons?

They are rare. Infection is a rare risk which can occur when the skin is broken with a needle

There can be small lumps forming under the skin.

To avoid this the injected site needs to be massaged to evenly distribute the biostimulator.

What do I need to do after the procedure?

Immediately after the procedure the hips/buttock need to be massaged to achieve uniform distribution of the biostimulator.

For the next 5 days you will need to massage your hips/buttocks twice per day for 5 minutes.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are currently contraindications.

Yes.
