A Regenerative Approach to Skin Quality and Support
Biostimulator treatments are designed to support your skin’s natural regenerative processes. Rather than simply adding volume, these treatments work by encouraging collagen production, improving skin structure, and enhancing overall skin quality over time.
At Beauty by Doctor, we take a tailored, medical approach. Your Practitioner will assess your skin, facial structure, and treatment goals to determine whether a biostimulator treatment is appropriate, and which option may be best suited to you. If you are unsure where to start, you can begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss your options.
We offer a range of advanced, clinically approved treatments available in Australia, each with different mechanisms and applications. Many of these treatments are also used in combination with our laser treatments, skin treatments, and energy-based devices to optimise outcomes.

Our Approach
Biostimulators are not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Different products behave differently in the skin, with variations in formulation, particle size, and depth of placement. Some are better suited to delicate areas such as the under-eye region, while others are used to provide more structural support across the face, neck, or hands.
At BBD, treatment selection is based on a detailed consultation. This allows us to tailor a plan that aligns with your anatomy, skin quality, and long-term aesthetic goals. Patients often present with concerns such as skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, under-eye hollowing, or loss of facial volume, and treatment is customised accordingly.
Most biostimulator treatments are performed as a course, with gradual improvement occurring over months as collagen is stimulated.

Sculptra
Sculptra is a well-established collagen-stimulating treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid. It has been used globally for many years and is one of the most recognised biostimulators for restoring facial structure and improving skin quality over time.
Rather than providing immediate volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. This gradual process can lead to improved skin thickness, firmness, and overall support. It is commonly considered for areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, and lower face, particularly where there is volume loss or facial ageing.
Results develop progressively over time, and Sculptra is often incorporated into broader treatment plans alongside skin tightening treatments or laser rejuvenation.

Lenisna (know as Juvelook Overseas)
Lenisna is a newer generation collagen-stimulating treatment that combines poly-D,L-lactic acid with hyaluronic acid. Internationally known as Juvelook, it has been used globally for several years before becoming available in Australia.
This hybrid formulation allows for both immediate support and longer-term collagen stimulation. It is often selected when the goal is to improve both skin quality and structural support in a subtle, progressive way.

Lenisna 50
Lenisna 50 is the finer formulation and is designed for more delicate areas of the face. It uses a smaller particle size, making it more suitable for thinner skin and areas requiring subtle refinement.
It is commonly considered for the under-eye area, particularly in patients experiencing crepey skin, fine lines, or early structural changes. It may also be used in combination with other treatments targeting dark circles or skin quality concerns.

Lenisna 200
Lenisna 200 is the stronger formulation, designed for areas requiring more structural support. It is typically used across the face, neck, and hands where there is more noticeable volume loss or reduced skin support.
This treatment is often incorporated into plans targeting skin laxity and collagen loss, with results developing gradually over time. A course of treatments is generally recommended, with spacing tailored to the individual.

Sunekos
Sunekos is a different type of injectable treatment, often described as a bio-regenerator. Instead of relying on traditional biostimulator particles, it combines hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of amino acids designed to support the skin’s extracellular matrix.
This treatment is typically selected when the focus is on improving skin quality, elasticity, and hydration rather than adding volume. It is particularly useful for patients concerned with fine lines, skin texture, or early signs of ageing.

Sunekos 1200
Sunekos 1200 is the higher-strength formulation and is typically used as the first step in a treatment sequence. It is designed to initiate the regenerative process and support deeper tissue quality.
It is often used as a preparatory treatment before continuing with more superficial skin quality treatments or combining with other modalities such as laser facials or microneedling treatments.

Sunekos Performa
Sunekos Performa is the lighter formulation used for subsequent treatments. It is suitable for the face, neck, hands, and under-eye region in appropriately selected patients.
This treatment is commonly used to address under-eye concerns, skin crepiness, and loss of elasticity, particularly in more delicate areas.
A course of three treatments is commonly recommended, with results developing progressively over time.

Gouri
Gouri is a liquid biostimulator made from polycaprolactone. Unlike particulate-based treatments, it is fully liquid, allowing for more even distribution through the tissue.
It is typically used as a full-face treatment to improve overall skin quality, elasticity, and collagen production. Gouri is often selected when patients are seeking a more global rejuvenation effect rather than targeting a single area.
It can be used in combination with treatments targeting skin texture, pigmentation, or overall skin rejuvenation.

Radiesse
Radiesse is a biostimulator made from calcium hydroxylapatite. It provides both immediate structural support and longer-term collagen stimulation.
It is commonly used in areas such as the lower face, jawline, and hands, where both contour and skin quality improvement are desired. Radiesse is often selected for patients looking to improve jawline definition or address age-related volume loss.

Ellanse
Ellanse is a polycaprolactone-based biostimulator that provides both immediate volume and gradual collagen stimulation. It is designed to support facial structure while improving skin quality over time.
It is often considered in patients seeking longer-lasting structural support and is typically used in areas where contour and longevity are important considerations.

What to Expect
Biostimulator treatments are typically performed in clinic and take approximately 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas treated. Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort, and options are available to improve comfort during the procedure.
Downtime is generally minimal, although some swelling or bruising can occur. Results develop gradually over weeks to months as collagen production increases. These treatments are often combined with other modalities such as laser treatments, skin needling, or LED therapy to optimise outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are biostimulators different from traditional volumising treatments?
Biostimulators work by stimulating your body’s own collagen production over time, rather than simply adding immediate volume. This often results in a more gradual and natural-looking improvement in skin quality and support.

When will I see results?
Some treatments may provide subtle early improvement, however most results develop progressively over several weeks to months as collagen production increases.

How many treatments will I need?
Most biostimulator treatments are performed as a course, typically involving two to three sessions or more depending on the product used and your individual goals.

Can these treatments be combined with other procedures?
Yes, biostimulators are often combined with treatments such as laser resurfacing, skin tightening, and medical-grade facials to enhance overall results. Your Practitioner will guide you on the most appropriate combination.

Important Considerations
All biostimulator treatments are medical procedures and require a consultation to determine suitability. During your consultation, your Practitioner will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend appropriate treatment options.
