Hyaluronic acid + Biostimulator Skin Boosters – A Powerful Combination for Skin Rejuvenation
The HA + Biostimulator Skin Booster is an innovative treatment that combines the immediate hydrating effects of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) with the long-term, skin-rejuvenating benefits of biostimulators.
This combination delivers a multi-faceted approach to:
- Increase skin hydration
- Improve cellular repair and regeneration
- Increase collagen production
Together, they bring about a refreshed and youthful appearance.
What is a Biostimulator?
A biostimulator is a substance that stimulates the body’s natural processes to regenerate and restore youthful skin quality. Biostimulators encourage the skin to produce more collagen and elastin — the structural proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness.
Common biostimulators include Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), Poly-D-L-Lactic Acid (PDLLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA). They work gradually over time to improve skin tone and texture, and the results can last for many months.
In a HA + Biostimulator Skin Booster, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) provides immediate hydration, while the biostimulator works to rebuild and regenerate skin from within, offering long-term benefits.
How HA + Biostimulator Skin Boosters Work:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA):
A naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and provides instant hydration. When injected into the skin, it attracts water molecules to the skin, enhancing its hydration levels and giving it a dewy, radiant appearance. HA also supports the extracellular matrix to boost collagen production.
- Biostimulator:
Triggers fibroblast activation and stimulates Collagen Type I and III production, repairing and regenerating lost collagen and elastin in the skin, resulting in improved skin structure, firmness, and elasticity over time.
Benefits of HA + Biostimulator Skin Boosters:
- Instant hydration and glow
- Improved skin quality
- Better skin texture – reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size
- Improved skin laxity and firmness
- Safe and natural-looking results
- Minimal downtime
- Longer lasting results compared to HA-only skin boosters
Who is a good candidate?
This treatment is suitable for individuals who are looking to:
- Hydrate dry or dull skin

Downtime: Depending on the injection technique, there is typically only mild redness or swelling at the injection site for less than 1 day when using a micro-injection device. With manual injection techniques, downtime can be slightly longer (5–7 days or up to 1–2 weeks) if bruising occurs.
Results: Immediate hydration and plump, dewy skin right after treatment, followed by gradual skin tightening and lifting over the next 4–6 weeks, with peak results at 2–3 months.
Number of sessions: A course of 3–4 injections, performed monthly, is recommended.
Maintenance: Touch-up treatments every 6–12 months, depending on the biostimulator used and individual needs.
