Biostimulating Fillers and Hyaluronic Acid Fillers have some differences that are important to consider when choosing between the two.
Composition: Biostimulating Fillers are made of natural or synthetic biodegradable polymers or micro-fragmented tissue, while Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid.
Purpose: The purpose of Biostimulators injections is to stimulate collagen production, while the goal of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers is to add volume and hydration to the skin.
Duration: Biostimulating Fillers tend to last longer, typically 6-12 months, while Hyaluronic Acid tend to have a shorter duration, also typically 6-12 months.
Effect: Biostimulators have a gradual improvement over time, while Hyaluronic Acid Fillers have immediate results.
Treatment: Biostimulating treatments usually require a series of injections, while Hyaluronic Acid Fillers typically only require one treatment session.
Maintenance: Biostimulating Fillers require repeat treatments to maintain results, while touch-up treatments may be needed for Hyaluronic Acid Fillers to maintain results.
Reversibility: Biostimulating Fillers may be irreversible, while Hyaluronic Acid Fillers can be reversed through a hyaluronidase injection.
Suitability: Biostimulating Fillers are suitable for those seeking natural-looking results and for those with early signs of aging, while Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are suitable for those seeking immediate and noticeable results, or for those with more advanced signs of aging.
It's important to remember that these are generalizations, and it's crucial to consult with a licensed medical professional to determine the best option for your specific needs.
