Bio-Stimulator Injections
in Grand Rapids, MI
While most dermal fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid gels that create temporary volume, bio-stimulating fillers work by triggering the body’s own natural skin rejuvenation processes for a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
What are Bio-Stimulator Injections
They work over time, deep within the tissue to replace vital components of firmer, smoother-looking skin. At the Centre for Pure Skin, bio-stimulators are often recommended as a part of a plan for a patient who is seeking natural, long-lasting results.
Ideal Candidate for Bio-Stimulators
The ideal candidate for bio-stimulator injections is in good health, is a non-smoker and is committed to following all pre- and post-care instructions. Candidates are over the age of 18 and have experienced volume loss in the skin due to aging or other factors.
Areas Bio-Stimulator Injections Can Treat
Being West Michigan’s preferred provider* of bio-stimulator injections, we have experience and the trust of our patients to treat:
Full Face
Over time, our skin’s ability to retain its youthful look decreases. Fat and collagen loss leads to skin laxity, wrinkles, and folds. Bio-stimulator injections can be used for facial rejuvenation to help replace lost volume and improve the skin’s structure by inducing new collagen growth.
Facial Scars & Dimples
When injected into facial divots, dimples and scars bio-stimulators can often soften the appearance of these facial irregularities. Some products offer immediate results while others work over time.
Neck
Bio-stimulators can help to smooth and tighten the neck skin, known as neck rejuvenation. They can also be used to replace age-related fat loss on the décolletage and help smooth away vertical necklines.

For the most part, patients describe bio-stimulator injections as mildly uncomfortable. We do our best to create an environment that alleviates any pain that you may experience with numbing agents and other diversion techniques.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Bio-Stimulator Injections
Sculptra Aesthetic® FAQs
Is Sculptra® safe?
Sculptra® has been in use worldwide since 1999. It is FDA-approved in the US and has very few known risks and complications associated with it when injected by a trained healthcare professional. Allergy testing is not required before treatments, but we will review your medical history prior to treatment to determine if Sculptra® is right for you.
How many Sculptra® treatments will I need?
Each patient differs, but most will require three treatment sessions with Sculptra® where 1 – 2 vials are delivered during each session. A great rule of thumb is to expect to need one vial per decade of life. For example, a 50 year old will likely need 5 vials to experience full correction.
How long will I see results with Sculptra®?
The results from Sculptra® will emerge over the course of a few weeks and can last up to two years. A few days after treatment, you may look as you did before treatment but this is normal. You will begin to see results as Sculptra® works deep within your skin triggering the body’s own new collagen synthesis.
Dysport® FAQs
What is Radiesse® made of?
The CaHA (Calcium hydroxylapatite ) in Radiesse® is what makes it unique. The CaHA particles work by integrating into the skin, creating a matrix that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
Is Radiesse® safe?
Radiesse is FDA-approved and long term side effects are uncommon. The most likely side effects are temporary and include bruising, swelling, redness and/or itching at the injection site.
How long will it take to see my results?
Radiesse is unique in that patients will experience immediate results, with long-term improvements over the following weeks.
How long will the results of Radiesse® last?
Most patients will experience results that last 9 – 12 months.
