BIOSTIMULATION: A NEW LIFE FOR YOUR SKIN
As we age, our skin is increasingly affected by both natural and external factors such as pollution, sun exposure, smoking, stress and poor dietary habits. These elements are key contributors to the deterioration of skin quality and appearance. Even before the age of forty, the first expression lines begin to form and the aging process accelerates over time, leading to a loss of elasticity and radiance.
Among the many solutions that have shown consistent results, biostimulation treatments for the face, neck and décolletage stand out for their ability to reactivate physiological skin functions, hydrate deeply and firm the skin without trauma or downtime.
WHAT IS BIOSTIMULATION?
A major factor in skin aging is the decrease in hyaluronic acid, a key component responsible for maintaining dermal hydration and stimulating fibroblasts, the connective tissue cells that produce collagen. Biostimulation is a modern aesthetic medicine procedure that is non-invasive, performed on an outpatient basis and aimed at activating skin cells in the face, neck and décolletage to restart cellular renewal, resulting in visible improvements in tone and texture.
This process helps to rebalance and replenish substances the body no longer produces in sufficient quantities for skin health, such as hyaluronic acid and specific amino acids. The result is a general and lasting rejuvenation of the treated areas: with proper hydration, the skin regains elasticity and luminosity. Supporting fibers like elastin are also reactivated, helping to restore firmness to relaxed tissues. The active ingredients typically used in biostimulation treatments include hyaluronic acid, amino acids, mineral salts and certain enzymes.
This technique is recommended for addressing wrinkles, dryness, dullness and loss of tone in the face, neck and décolletage. It works by harnessing the skin’s natural biosynthetic capacity, offering a non-surgical way to rejuvenate the skin. Biostimulation also serves as a preventative measure against dehydration, loss of radiance and tissue slackening.
THE BIOSTIMULATION TECHNIQUE
Following a detailed consultation to assess the condition of the skin and the areas to be treated, the procedure is performed in a clinical setting. For more sensitive patients, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to minimize any mild discomfort, although the treatment is generally well tolerated. Using a syringe equipped with an ultra-fine disposable needle, the practitioner delivers a series of micro-injections into the superficial dermis. The number of injections varies depending on the size of the area being treated.
A full session typically lasts no longer than 25 minutes and allows for an immediate return to daily activities. The recommended frequency is three to four sessions over a three-month period.
The solutions used are usually based on hyaluronic acid, formulated with excellent fluidity, but increasingly include a cocktail of ingredients to enhance results. These may contain vitamins, mineral salts, coenzymes and amino acids that support the production of collagen and elastin. In some cases, hyaluronic acid is combined with polynucleotides (DNA fragments), natural substances capable of repairing cellular damage caused by free radicals.
Results are visible immediately: the treated areas appear naturally firmer, brighter and more elastic. While the outcome is long-lasting, the aging process continues and is influenced by lifestyle choices. To extend the benefits of biostimulation, maintenance sessions may be recommended over time.
This treatment can be performed year round but is especially beneficial in summer as an active photo protective measure, helping to counteract inflammation and skin damage from UV exposure.
BIOSTIMULATION: SIDE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
Biostimulation is suitable for most skin types and is effective for both women (particularly after menopause) and men. However, it may be less suitable for mature skin with deep wrinkles and significant loss of tone.
Since the injected substances are biocompatible and naturally recognized by the body, biostimulation treatments are typically well tolerated, with no risk of allergic reactions. Minor side effects such as swelling, redness, itching or occasional small bruises may occur but usually subside within a few days. To reduce the risk of bruising, it is advised to avoid anticoagulant medication in the 15 days before and after treatment. Additionally, direct UV exposure should be avoided for at least two to three days following a session.
A thorough medical evaluation is essential to identify any contraindications, which may include pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infections, inflammation or dermatitis, known allergies, autoimmune conditions or severe organ dysfunction.
To make the most of the benefits of biostimulation, it is important to adopt a healthy and consistent lifestyle, avoiding inactivity, smoking, harsh cosmetic products and unbalanced diets.

Patient Reviews:
“Dopo un intervento di filler non riuscito per il mio rilassamento dei tessuti del viso, mi sono sottoposta a biostimolazione. Già dopo la prima seduta ho notato notevoli miglioramenti, la pelle è più tonica e luminosa e il mio ovale ne ha guadagnato. Consiglio questo trattamento soprattutto per chi non sopporta dolorosi interventi chirurgici”
Agostina 38 anni
“Volevo ringiovanire il mio viso, evitando però il tipico effetto “rifatto”. Con la biostimolazione ho risolto tutti miei problemi estetici, senza dolore o effetti collaterali, se si eccettua un po’ di arrossamento delle zone trattate, scomparso in poche ore”
Gianna 36 anni
“Basta bende, facce tumefatte e medicazioni! Ho sperimentato la biostimolazione cutanea ed ho ottenuto risultati fantastici e, soprattutto, naturali, senza dolore né lunghe convalescenze”
