Bio-Remodelling vs Bio-Stimulation

Bio-remodeling involves the injection of small amounts of on-crosslinked hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and minerals into the skin of the face, hands, neck, chest, and body areas where the skin has become weak and lax and lost its elasticity and strength.
Bio-stimulators vs Dermal Volumisers: The Ultimate Guide

Bio-remodelling is commonly viewed as a type of dermal filler, however, it is not just for filling lines and wrinkles. Rather it needs to be viewed as a general rejuvenation treatment for the skin that results in plumping, firming, hydrating, and strengthening. The treatment triggers the skin’s natural healing abilities and results in overall tightening and anti-ageing, improving the quality and texture of the skin. 

Although the product used doesn’t remain in the skin for very long, unlike a dermal filler, the results last because the injections encourage the natural increase of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production in the skin. These naturally diminish as we age and the treatment aims to reverse and target this common cascade of ageing events.

What is Bio-Stimulation?

Bio-stimulation is the triggering of the body’s own, natural, self-healing, and self-regenerative mechanisms. The overall results of a comprehensive Bio-Stimulation treatment are plumping, firming, skin tightening, collagen & elastin production, prolonged hydration, and softening and filling of fine lines and wrinkles. Using a cocktail of specially chosen ingredients and using mesotherapy, we can mimic this process with minimally invasive injectables. The long-lasting results are both immediate and cumulative over time as the skin becomes stronger, tighter, plumper, better hydrated, and better nourished.

Benefits & Results

Profhilo®’s patented technology:

· Uses a highly stable form of hyaluronic acid, allowing it to remain in the skin for around 28 days and the results of the treatment last for roughly six months

· Stimulation of 4 different types of collagen (I, III, IV, and VII) and elastin takes place by slow-release hyaluronic acid.

· The collagen and elastin stimulation results in significant tissue improvement.

· The slow-release and long-lasting action of collagen and elastin stimulation remodel the tissue.

· Profhilo® is often chosen by patients wanting to improve their skin condition to address laxity and NOT just FILL lines and wrinkles.

Restylane®️ Skin Boosters are proven to:

· Ensure an improvement of skin quality without significant volume changes

· Hydrate the skin

· Increase elasticity

· Smoothen the skin surface

· Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

· Stimulate fibroblast proliferation and activity with a new synthesis of collagen, elastin, and other extracellular components such as HA (leading to more skin elasticity, skin tension, and moisture) stimulate the fibroblasts and instigate a collagen biosynthesis

· Skin Boosters preserve collagen as it decreases four endogenous proteins (TIMP) that break down collagen

· The inclusion of GROWTH FACTORS also causes increased tissue remodelling giving anti-ageing results superior to those of PRP
