More than 80% of men and 90% of women have some form of cellulite. But this skin feature can still be a source of stress and lower confidence— and it is challenging to treat with conventional surgical methods or lifestyle changes.

But because of their unique, body-led mechanism, advanced collagen biostimulators are effective at minimising the appearance of cellulite for years. Not only that, but they also boost youthful skin quality and provide smooth contours to the figure.

Defining collagen biostimulators

Collagen biostimulators are state-of-the-art dermal fillers that boost collagen production in the skin. They treat cellulite, loss of volume, lax skin, and other signs of ageing.

These biostimulating injections are a body-safe synthetic material: PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid). Used in cutting-edge medical devices for years, this sugar molecule in liquid form catalyses new collagen formation. Eventually, your body biodegrades them— but the benefits remain.

What is cellulite

Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears to have areas with underlying fat deposits, giving it a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It typically appears on the thighs, buttocks, and stomach and is more common in women. It forms when fat cells push through the connective tissue beneath the skin.

This connective tissue is made of collagen, a protein that provides elasticity and structural support to the skin.

Ageing skin is, essentially, skin that is gradually losing its ability to produce collagen. And as we age, because the supportive collagen fibres break down, underlying cellulite becomes more visible.

How collagen biostimulators treat cellulite

When placed under your skin, the liquid PLLA acts as a wound. It activates your immune system cells (fibroblasts and myofibroblasts), which travel to the area. There, they begin biodegrading the injected material and creating more collagen.

The biodegrading and collagen activation process happens over many months. You will experience results (better volume and skin quality, firmness, reduced cellulite) between weeks 6 and 12.

Your body continues to react to the collagen biostimulators for up to 2 years when they are finally absorbed. The boost in collagen creation can last up to 4 years.

While other dermal fillers add immediate but short-lived volume to the treated area, collagen biostimulators are a longer-term solution: they build up your skin’s youth-creating abilities.

These biostimulating injections are a gentler and less disruptive approach for treating cellulite than cosmetic surgery.

• Collagen biostimulators increase skin thickness and volume in cellulite areas, filling out depressions (dimples) and creating an even contour.

• Because they can build up your body’s ability to create new collagen for up to 4 years, they are a long-term rejuvenation solution for cellulite (unlike all other dermal fillers).

• They improve the overall health and appearance of the skin, reducing lines and sagging and maximising youthful blood flow.

• They are a non-invasive treatment, which means less pain and risks. If you cannot get cosmetic cellulite surgery, you can still take advantage of biostimulating injections.

• With treatment time under an hour, minimal downtime, and results lasting up to 4 years, collagen biostimulators are an efficient cellulite treatment. They are also cost-effective, carrying lower expenses than surgical options.

Collagen biostimulators are effective at treating cellulite in the thighs, buttocks, hips, or stomach. 

They also provide solutions for other concerns that often coexist with cellulite, such as sagging skin or loss of figure definition. 

If you are looking for a cost-effective, non-surgical cellulite treatment method, you might benefit from collagen biostimulators. These provide subtle, natural-looking results that help you recover your confidence and spark.
