Biostimulation & Skinbooster

Improve skin quality • regain freshness • stay natural

Over the years, the skin loses moisture, elasticity, and firmness. The body’s own production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid declines, resulting in fine lines, a loss of volume, and a dull complexion. Modern aesthetic-dermatological procedures address this—not by altering the face, but by supporting the skin from within.

At my practice in Vienna, I provide consultations on skin rejuvenation using biostimulators, skin boosters, and collagen stimulators. While these treatments are often confused with one another, they serve different purposes.

What are biostimulators?

Biostimulators are injectable substances that trigger the body’s own regenerative processes. Rather than simply filling a space, they provide a stimulus that encourages the skin to become active again on its own. This process stimulates connective tissue cells—known as fibroblasts—to produce new collagen and other structural proteins.

The results do not appear immediately; instead, they develop gradually over the course of weeks or months. The skin becomes firmer, tighter, and denser, while the face gains improved structure and a fresher appearance.

Although the terms “biostimulation,” “collagen stimulation,” and “skin booster” are often used interchangeably, they do not mean exactly the same thing:

Collagen stimulation refers to a specific mechanism of action: the treatment is designed to trigger the production of new collagen. Collagen is the primary structural protein in the skin, responsible for its firmness and elasticity.

Biostimulation is a broader, umbrella term. It encompasses any procedure that activates the skin’s natural regenerative processes. In addition to collagen, this can involve elastin, hyaluronic acid, and improved blood circulation within the tissue.

In other words, while all collagen stimulation is a form of biostimulation, not all biostimulation works exclusively through collagen.

Skinboosters are typically hyaluronic acid-based products with a low degree of cross-linking, which are distributed finely within the skin. Since hyaluronic acid binds water, skinboosters primarily improve skin hydration and the quality of the skin’s surface.

Rather than focusing on volume or facial contours, skinboosters target the skin itself, leaving it looking plumper, smoother, more hydrated, and more radiant. Some formulations also offer a mild regenerative effect on the skin.

Skin rejuvenation treatments via biostimulation

In my practice, I primarily offer the following skin rejuvenation treatments based on biostimulation:

  • Skin boosters & collagen stimulators
  • PRP (Autologous plasma)
  • Various peptides (Mesotherapy)
  • Radiesse®
  • HArmonyCA®
  • Profhilo® (Hyaluronic acid)
  • Various polynucleotides (“salmon sperm DNA”, PDRN)

Frequently Asked Questions About Biostimulators

This depends on the specific product used and the condition of your skin. Skin boosters are typically administered in a series of two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart; biostimulators often follow a similar schedule. We will create a personalized plan for you.

Skinboosters often result in fresher-looking skin after only a short time. With biostimulators, the effect develops over the course of weeks to months.

The duration of the effect varies from person to person and depends on factors such as the specific product used, skin type, age, and lifestyle. Follow-up treatments are possible and advisable.

Most patients find the procedure well-tolerated. Upon request, we can apply a numbing cream before the treatment.

Generally, yes. Small puncture marks or slight swelling may be visible for a short time.
