Biostimulators
Biostimulators (such as Sculptra® and Radiesse®) are injectable treatments that work differently from traditional fillers. Rather than adding immediate volume, they stimulate your skin's own collagen production over time, rebuilding the structural foundation that gradually diminishes with age.
At Lougheed Laser Centre in Burnaby, biostimulator treatments are performed by our medical team and tailored to your facial anatomy and goals.
What are Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are a category of injectable treatment designed to trigger the body's natural collagen-producing response. When injected into targeted areas, the active ingredients interact with the tissue beneath the skin, stimulating fibroblast activity and encouraging new collagen to form. The result is a gradual restoration of volume, firmness, and skin quality that looks and feels entirely natural because it is built by your own biology.
Because results develop progressively over several weeks and months, biostimulators are well suited to patients who want an improvement that unfolds naturally rather than appearing overnight.
