Biostimulation in Aesthetic Medicine — The Future of Natural Skin Rejuvenation
Biostimulation in Aesthetic Medicine, also known as bio-rejuvenation or regenerative medicine
The Science of Natural Skin Rejuvenation
For many years, the dominant approach was straightforward: what has been lost. Restore volume. Smooth lines. The tools for doing so e.g. dermal and wrinkle-relaxing injections remain and still have an role. But they address the consequences of ageing rather than its biology.
A newer, more is now gaining ground. Rather than adding to the face, biostimulatory treatments work by the skin to regenerate itself — improving tissue quality from within, at a cellular level.
At the Cosmetic Doctors Company in Esher, Surrey, this represents a more and medically sound to aesthetic care. In this post we explain the — what biostimulation actually is, how different treatments it, and why tend to be more natural and longer lasting.

What Happens to Skin as We Age?
The skin is by an framework called the extracellular matrix, of mainly collagen and elastin, that gives skin its firmness, and structural integrity. Woven this is hyaluronic acid, keeping the tissue and supple.
The cells responsible for this are fibroblasts. From our mid-twenties onwards, fibroblast activity and the of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid slows. At the same time, the enzymes that break down become more active.
The effect over decades is the appearance of ageing: reduced firmness, loss of elasticity, hydration, and a gradual thinning of the skin.
develop gradually over weeks to months, as new proteins are and integrate into the skin. The outcomes are subtler in character, and typically longer lasting, than those achieved by volume alone.
Why These Treatments Produce More Natural Results
Rather than a foreign to fill space, biostimulation the skin's own to produce proteins in an organised, physiological way. The skin matrix more like younger tissue — not has been added from outside, but because the skin's own biology has been .
Results develop gradually over weeks to months, which means the change is almost imperceptible on a basis. Patients typically appear rather than .
The Role of Treatment Planning
is rarely a single-session solution. Because these work through biological processes that take time, a course of treatment — with appropriate — is required to and sustain results.
The specific will vary depending on age, skin quality, degree of laxity, and individual goals. For some patients, a biostimulatory treatment may be all that is needed. For others, it may form part of a plan that also includes use of or .
This is why a careful, is essential. There is no meaningful default protocol. The right treatment, in the right combination, at the right time, is what produces results that are both clinically effective and in .

a grounded and important to aesthetic medicine. By with the skin's own — reactivating fibroblasts, rebuilding the extracellular matrix, and restoring the that diminish with age — they offer a to results that are natural, gradual, and longer than those achieved by volume alone.
At the Doctors Company we believe this is very much the future and sits at the heart of our aesthetic practice.
How Each Biostimulatory Treatment Works
Several treatments fall within this category, but their mechanisms are meaningfully . how each works helps to explain when and why a particular might be recommended.
has been in clinical use for over 25 years. It is composed of biodegradable acid (PLLA) that work a biological mechanism.
When injected, the PLLA microparticles are too large to be engulfed by and therefore in the tissue long enough to initiate a controlled, inflammatory response. This the of growth that activate dermal and upregulate gene expression for collagen types I and III. The result is a sustained process of new collagen growth that continues as the PLLA particles slowly over many months.
Clinical studies have demonstrated an increase in Type I collagen of up to 65% at three months following treatment, with effects for up to two years. More recent gene expression research has shown that PLLA also has epigenetic — altering gene activity patterns in ways that promote ongoing collagen synthesis and tissue regeneration.
Unlike most treatments, can also achieve meaningful volumetric change over time, making it particularly useful for addressing facial laxity and volume loss, as well as global skin quality. Read more about .

The two components serve distinct but complementary purposes. The high molecular weight creates a stable hydrating in the dermis. The low molecular weight is released gradually and acts on fibroblasts, stimulating of collagen and . Importantly, this is slow enough that it does not the acute inflammatory response associated with free low weight hyaluronic acid — making Profhilo notably well .
studies have demonstrated that these hybrid complexes stimulate the of four types of collagen — types I, III, IV and VII — as well as elastin, to a significantly greater degree than either high or low weight acid used alone. The result is genuine bio-remodelling of the skin rather than simple hydration.

Rather than causing tissue injury or an cascade, polynucleotides bind to specific cell surface receptors — particularly receptors on — activating signalling pathways that the skin already uses naturally during repair. This fibroblast and the of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
In addition, polynucleotides form a structure in the dermis that and water, improving tissue and structural support. They also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and improve vascularisation — enhancing the of oxygen and to the treated tissue.
The collagen as a result of treatment is organised and structural, more analogous to maintained tissue than the laid down in to injury. This is one of the reasons the results tend to appear particularly natural.
Published research has shown measurable increases in fibroblast and synthesis within four weeks of treatment, with improvements in elasticity, hydration and overall skin across multiple . Read more about .
