Collagen Biostimulators in Pasadena, CA
Collagen Biostimulators
Restore volume, improve skin texture, and enhance facial contours naturally. At Dioo Medical Aesthetics in Pasadena, CA, we offer collagen biostimulators like Sculptra® and Radiesse® to help patients achieve long-lasting facial rejuvenation without the need for surgery or frequent touch-ups.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate but temporary volume, biostimulators work gradually by stimulating your body’s collagen production. This leads to firmer, smoother skin and improved volume over time, offering results that evolve and last.
Whether you’re experiencing age-related volume loss or looking to maintain youthful contours, collagen biostimulation offers a subtle, natural-looking enhancement that supports long-term skin health.
How Does Collagen Biostimulation Work?
Collagen is a key protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. As we get older, our bodies make less collagen. This leads to sagging skin, fine lines, and a loss of volume.
Collagen biostimulators, such as Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite), are injectable treatments that stimulate your body’s fibroblasts to rebuild lost collagen gradually. Once injected, the solution is absorbed and replaced by your body’s natural tissue-building response. Over a few months, treated areas gain firmness, density, and a more youthful appearance.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulators don’t just “fill”, they remodel. The result is a gradual enhancement in skin quality and texture, making it ideal for patients seeking a longer-term, natural alternative to traditional injectables.
Areas Treated
Collagen biostimulators are versatile and can be used across multiple facial areas to correct age-related changes and restore youthful balance:
- Cheeks – Improve contour and restore midface volume
- Jawline – Define the lower face and reduce skin laxity
- Temples – Address hollowing and create facial harmony
- Smile lines and nasolabial folds – Smooth deep facial creases
- Chin – Improve shape and volume
- Décolletage – Enhance skin texture and minimize fine lines
Depending on your treatment goals, collagen biostimulators may be used alongside other procedures such as dermal fillers or thread lifts for enhanced lifting and contouring.
Timeline & Results
Collagen biostimulation is not an instant fix; it’s a gradual and natural process. After your first session, results develop slowly over 6–12 weeks as new collagen forms beneath the skin. This gradual improvement highlights the inherent beauty of the process. Depending on your treatment plan, you may need a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced over several months. But rest assured, the results are worth the wait.
Once full results are achieved, they can last up to 2 years, making this an ideal choice for patients looking for extended rejuvenation with fewer maintenance appointments. This long-lasting effect ensures that your investment in collagen biostimulation is worthwhile and satisfying.

FAQs
How is a collagen biostimulator different from a filler?
While fillers provide immediate volume, collagen biostimulators work over time by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen, offering longer-lasting and more natural results.
Is the collagen biostimulator treatment painful?
Most patients find the treatment tolerable. Prior to injection, a topical numbing cream is applied, and the product includes lidocaine, which reduces discomfort throughout the injection process. Our skilled injectors also ensure a gentle and precise application to minimize any potential discomfort.
How many sessions will I need for collagen biostimulator?
In order to achieve the best results, we should schedule 2 to 3 sessions a few weeks apart.
Is there any downtime with collagen biostimulator?
Downtime is minimal. You may notice mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves in a few days.
