Biostimulatory Fillers (Radiesse, Poly-L-Lactic Acid)

Biostimulatory fillers at Impera Clinic naturally stimulate the skin's own collagen production for a gradual, long-lasting rejuvenation effect. The clinic works with proven materials Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) and poly-L-lactic acid (Lenisna and JuveLook), which act not only as a volumising filler but also activate regenerative processes in the skin. Over the following weeks the skin gradually firms, wrinkles smooth, and elasticity improves. Biostimulatory fillers are ideal for clients seeking a natural, durable result, and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and backs of the hands.

Unlike pure hyaluronic-acid fillers that primarily replace volume, biostimulatory fillers work by prompting the skin to rebuild its own collagen scaffold — giving a result that develops gradually and lasts longer. **Materials used at Impera Clinic:** - **Radiesse** — calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel carrier. The gel provides immediate lift, while the microspheres act as a scaffold that stimulates the body to produce new collagen over the following months. - **Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) — Lenisna and JuveLook** — a biocompatible, biodegradable material that, once injected, triggers a controlled regenerative response, gradually thickening and firming the skin from within. **How it works:** These materials are recognised by the body and prompt fibroblasts to lay down new collagen. The visible effect therefore appears progressively — over weeks rather than instantly — and is characterised by improved firmness, smoother wrinkles, and better skin elasticity rather than simple volume filling. **Where it is used:** - Face (overall firmness and contour support) - Neck and décolletage - Backs of the hands, where ageing shows volume and skin-quality loss **Who it suits:** Biostimulatory fillers are ideal for clients who want a natural and long-lasting result and are comfortable with a gradual improvement rather than an immediate dramatic change. They are often used to restore overall skin quality and a youthful tone rather than to spot-fill a single line. **The session and aftercare:** After consultation, the product is injected into the appropriate layer and, for some materials, gently massaged to distribute evenly. A series of sessions may be recommended for PLLA. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising can occur and resolves within days. Avoid intense exercise, heat, and alcohol for 24–48 hours. Provided to adults 18+ after individual consultation; results vary.
