Biostimulators are innovative cosmetic treatments that naturally enhance the body’s ability to regenerate tissue, improving skin texture and volume while promoting long-lasting rejuvenation and anti-aging effects from within. At KMP Aesthetics, we are excited to offer a number of different treatment options that our experienced team—led by Dr. Kevan Patterson, DNP, ARNP—can personalize to your unique needs.
What Is a Biostimulator?
Biostimulators are a class of cosmetic treatments designed to naturally enhance the body’s regenerative processes, promoting the production of collagen, elastin, and other structural components of the skin. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, biostimulators work over time to restore and rejuvenate the skin from within, offering more natural and longer-lasting results. They can be made from various materials, including poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra), calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), and autologous substances like platelet-rich plasma (PRP)/ Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRFP. Biostimulators are used to improve skin texture, volume loss, wrinkles, and thinning hair, providing a holistic approach to anti-aging and cosmetic enhancement).
Renuva®
Renuva® is a cutting-edge biostimulator that uses an allograft adipose matrix to naturally augment and regenerate tissue. Injected into areas requiring volume enhancement or contour correction, Renuva® acts as a scaffold, encouraging the body’s own fat cells to populate the area. Over time, it integrates with the body’s tissues, promoting the generation of new fat cells and connective tissue for natural volume enhancement. Ideal for smoothing out irregularities, scars, or aging hands, Renuva® offers a minimally invasive option for lasting improvements without the need for donor site surgery.
Hyperdilute Radiesse®
Hyperdiluted Radiesse® is a biostimulatory dermal filler that, when injected, not only smooths wrinkles but also encourages the body’s own collagen production for longer-lasting results. It is composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Hyperdilute Radiesse is also blended with sterile saline and lidocaine to enhance the capability of the product. Over time, the gel is absorbed, and the body metabolizes the CaHA particles, leaving behind natural collagen. Radiesse® is commonly used for facial lines, volume loss, and contouring, providing both immediate and enduring enhancements.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra® Aesthetic uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to gradually stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike immediate fillers, Sculptra® works over time, enhancing facial volume and reducing wrinkles and folds by reinforcing the skin’s structural foundation. It’s injected into the deeper layers of the skin and is particularly effective for treating facial volume loss, deep lines, wrinkles and gluteal enhancements. The results are not instantaneous but develop over several months, offering a natural-looking, long-lasting improvement.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Injections
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are biostimulators derived from a patient’s own blood. They involve concentrating platelets and growth factors to promote healing, rejuvenation, and collagen production when injected into the skin or applied topically with microneedling. PRP and PRF are used for skin rejuvenation, hair growth stimulation, and wound healing, offering a natural approach to anti-aging and regenerative medicine. PRF is the next generation of PRP, featuring a higher concentration of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells, enhancing its regenerative capabilities.
KeraFactor
KeraFactor is a revolutionary biostimulatory treatment specifically designed for hair rejuvenation. It utilizes a unique blend of synthetic growth factors and proteins to target thinning hair and scalp conditions. By stimulating the scalp and hair follicles, KeraFactor promotes stronger, thicker, and healthier hair growth. This innovative formula is applied through topical solutions or specialized scalp treatments, offering a non-invasive option for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning, aiming to restore hair density and vitality with minimal side effects.
