Biomodulators
Biomodulators are injectable natural substances that stimulate the body’s own collagen production. Collagen is an essential component of the skin, providing firmness, elasticity, and a youthful appearance.
How Biomodulators Work
As we age, the amount of collagen in our skin continuously decreases. This leads to wrinkle formation, volume loss, and overall skin aging, particularly in the face. Biomodulators counteract this development by specifically stimulating the body’s own collagen production. The result is firmer skin, reduced wrinkles, and a fresher appearance.
The modern concept of biomodulation at Cosmetic Surgery Zurich leads to natural skin rejuvenation, revitalization, and tightening. Volume is also targeted and built up where needed, similar to facial rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid injections. After completing the treatment, the skin increasingly regains elasticity and freshness. Wrinkle injections with biomodulators achieve local volume enhancement and wrinkle smoothing. The face, in particular, benefits from rejuvenation treatments with biomodulators, leading to visible wrinkle smoothing, volume building, skin tightening, and improved skin elasticity.
Applications
- Smoothing of wrinkles
- Improvement of volume
- Skin tightening
- Enhancement of skin texture
The Treatment
Treatment with biomodulators is minimally invasive and not painful. Fine needles are used to inject the substances into the areas to be treated. The treatment duration is typically 15-30 minutes, depending on the application area and the number of regions treated.
After the Treatment
Immediate side effects are usually mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, itching, hypersensitivity, and slight pain in the treated areas. These symptoms typically disappear within 1-2 days after the injection.
Due to the gentle procedure, there is no downtime, and you can resume social activities immediately. You should avoid makeup, direct sun exposure, massaging the treated areas, and sports for 24 hours. Light rest and cooling on the day of treatment can also enhance comfort.
For most facial areas, depending on the initial condition, location, and product used, 1-3 treatments are sufficient for the desired aesthetic goal. For optimal and lasting results, a booster treatment is recommended approximately every 12 months. We will discuss the recommended number of treatments tailored to you during a personal consultation.
Our Biomodulators
Sculptra® is a popular product from the Swiss company Galderma, used to treat volume loss in the face. The main ingredient in Sculptra® is poly-L-lactic acid, a natural substance that stimulates collagen production in our tissues. This leads to a natural and long-lasting improvement in skin volume and texture, resulting in a more youthful appearance and overall firmer skin. Sculptra® is often used to treat wrinkles, volume loss in the face, and improve skin quality. It is an effective solution if you want to enhance your appearance and achieve a natural volume build-up in the face.
HArmonyCA™ by Allergan is an innovative injection product in aesthetic medicine, notable for its hybrid action. It contains both a biomodulator to stimulate the body’s own collagen production and a small amount of hyaluronic acid for an immediate visible effect. The main ingredient in HArmonyCA™ is natural calcium hydroxyapatite, which stimulates collagen production, leading to a long-lasting improvement in skin texture, sustained skin tightening, and wrinkle reduction.
The second ingredient, hyaluronic acid, is a classic filler treatment, providing an immediate effect visible right after treatment. As the hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down, there is enough time for the biomodulator-stimulated collagen production to provide a lasting natural effect. HArmonyCA™ is often used to treat volume loss in the face, wrinkle formation, and general skin aging. It offers long-lasting results compared to hyaluronic acid fillers, which often need refreshing after several months. HArmonyCA™ provides effects that can last up to 18 months or longer, making it an innovative solution for effective and long-lasting skin rejuvenation and contour improvement with an additional immediate effect.
When Will the Results of Skin Rejuvenation with Biomodulators Be Visible?
The timeframe for visible results varies between the mentioned products and depends on individual factors and circumstances.
With Sculptra®, there is an initial volume increase due to the injection, which subsides after 2-3 days, followed by the onset of poly-L-lactic acid’s effect once absorbed into the cells. The visible effect emerges from the skin’s depths over the coming weeks and reaches its full extent after about 2-3 months.
With HArmonyCA™, the hybrid procedure with the included hyaluronic acid filler provides an immediate effect, meaning you see the treatment’s results right away. As the hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down and the collagen-stimulating biomodulator takes effect, a visibly lasting and completely natural skin rejuvenation and volume effect is achieved.
