Process: After your consultation, PLLA is injected into the dermal layer using precise techniques. The treatment supports natural collagen regeneration over weeks to months.

Risks & Aftercare: Temporary effects may include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or itching. Some massage protocols may be recommended post-treatment. Our clinicians will guide you through aftercare for optimal results.

Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to gradually improve skin structure by encouraging your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike fillers, which add volume immediately, biostimulators work more slowly, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness over time. They can be especially helpful for areas that have lost structure or developed sagging with age. Many clients choose biostimulators for a subtle, natural look that develops over several months, rather than instant change. At Equinox, treatment is always personalised to your goals, with safety and ethical care at the core of every plan.

While both treatments are injectables, biostimulators and dermal fillers work in very different ways. Dermal fillers add volume directly, smoothing lines and restoring plumpness immediately. Biostimulators, on the other hand, don’t provide instant volume but instead stimulate your own collagen production. This gradual approach helps rebuild the skin’s structure for longer-lasting, more natural results. Many people view fillers as short-term and biostimulators as a longer-term investment in skin quality. The right choice depends on your personal goals, which can be explored in consultation with our clinicians.

Results typically develop gradually over two to three months, as the collagen-stimulating process takes effect. Improvements in firmness, elasticity, and skin quality may continue to build for up to six months. Once established, results usually last between 18 and 24 months, depending on the treatment area, age, lifestyle, and skin health. Maintenance treatments are often recommended every one to two years to sustain results. Because of their longevity, many people see biostimulators as a long-term approach to skin rejuvenation compared to shorter-acting treatments.

Biostimulators are often used to support areas where the skin has lost firmness or elasticity. Common treatment zones include the cheeks, jawline, temples, and lower face, where collagen loss is most noticeable. They can also be used to improve overall skin texture on areas such as the décolletage, arms, or buttocks. Because biostimulators don’t add bulk, they are suitable for people looking for natural structural support rather than volume. Suitability depends on your needs and goals, which are assessed during a thorough consultation.

Biostimulators are considered safe when performed by qualified, AHPRA-registered clinicians in a medical environment. Like all medical procedures, they carry some risks, including bruising, swelling, tenderness, or temporary lumps at the injection sites. These usually resolve as the product integrates into the skin. Serious complications are rare but will be discussed during your consultation. At Equinox, our team has over 15 years of experience in aesthetic care and prioritises safety at every step, ensuring that you fully understand the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes.

After a consultation and treatment plan, the procedure usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes. A series of small injections are placed under the skin to stimulate collagen production in the chosen areas. Most clients report only mild discomfort, as numbing options are available to keep treatment as comfortable as possible. Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur but typically subsides within a few days. Because results develop gradually, follow-up appointments help track progress and ensure your treatment plan is delivering the desired effects.

Yes. Many people combine biostimulators with other non-surgical treatments to achieve comprehensive results. For example, anti-wrinkle injections may be used alongside biostimulators to reduce dynamic lines, while PDO threads can provide additional lift and support. Skin therapies such as needling, PRP, or laser may also complement biostimulators by improving texture and surface quality. The combination of treatments depends on your skin condition and desired outcomes. At Equinox, your clinician will create a tailored treatment plan designed to safely maximise results while maintaining a natural look.

Australian advertising regulations, set by the TGA and AHPRA, restrict the way prescription-only treatments such as biostimulators can be promoted. Clinics cannot mention brand names, display before-and-after photos, or use testimonials in advertising. This helps avoid unrealistic expectations and ensures treatment decisions are made in consultation with a qualified clinician. At Equinox, we comply with these rules while providing full transparency during private appointments. Here, you can learn which products may be suitable for you, understand the risks, and ask questions before deciding on treatment.
