Biostimulators
Restore Your Natural Beauty Through Collagen and Hair Regeneration
At NectarineMD in Setauket, NY, we specialize in advanced biostimulator treatments that work with your body’s natural healing properties to restore skin volume on the face and body, improve skin texture, stimulate hair follicles, and create long-lasting rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers that only add volume, our physician-administered Sculptra® and dilute or hyperdilute RADIESSE® treatments stimulate your body’s collagen production — restoring a youthfully refreshed, natural-looking appearance that continues to gradually improve over time.
PRP with PRFM is another biostimulation modality where we use the patients’ own platelets from a simple blood draw with the Selphyl brand collection system. We prepare it for injection into the dermis to trigger the body’s natural healing process, boosting new collagen and elastin production, along with new blood vessels. By injecting this self-derived blood product directly into the dermis, where it activates your own healing properties, Dr. Adams’ technique achieves a higher degree of biostimulation than simply microneedling this liquid gold from the surface, as is the common practice. Dr. Adams processes PRP into PRFM for even more impact on the tissue to improve skin’s luminosity, increase cell turnover, and even target hair regrowth.
What Are
Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are advanced injectable treatments that activate your body’s natural collagen production processes to improve skin structure, firmness, elasticity, and overall quality. Unlike traditional fillers that primarily add volume, biostimulators work by stimulating your skin’s regenerative capabilities from within. At NectarineMD, we offer several biostimulator options:
Sculptra® is a pure biostimulator that gradually restores facial volume by enhancing your body’s own collagen production. It delivers subtle, progressive improvements in skin quality and structure without adding immediate volume.
RADIESSE® offers versatile treatment options. When used at full strength, it’s a filler, but when diluted or hyperdiluted, RADIESSE® functions as a biostimulator, improving skin texture, firmness, and luminosity with minimal volumization. This specialized application enhances skin quality while preserving or enhancing natural contour.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is prepared by drawing blood on the day of your treatment, followed by a quick and simple process to inject it into the dermis, triggering production of collagen, elastin, and neovascularization. We process our PRP into PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix), which helps our PRP integrate into the tissue where it’s injected to ensure a more effective outcome than PRP alone.
With age, our body’s natural collagen production slows, resulting in common signs of aging like sagging, hollowing, and wrinkles. Additionally, the skin can lose its luminosity and vibrancy, often appearing dull and dry. Biostimulators work by rebuilding your skin’s internal support system, which helps counteract the effects of aging. This process involves improving cell turnover, increasing collagen and elastin production, and boosting blood supply, resulting in a brighter complexion. The results develop beautifully over time and typically last significantly longer than those achieved with conventional dermal fillers.
What Are the
Benefits of Biostimulators?
Our patients at NectarineMD consistently choose biostimulators for their exceptional advantages. These advanced treatments deliver outstanding results through a regenerative process that works naturally with your body’s own healing abilities.
What Areas
Can Be Treated With Biostimulators?
Biostimulator treatments like Sculptra® and RADIESSE® offer remarkable versatility for comprehensive rejuvenation. PRP can enhance skin quality anywhere desired and help restore subtle volume loss, such as under the eyes, while biostimulators promote gradual collagen production for harmonious, natural-looking results across multiple treatment zones.
- Cheeks: Enhance or restore youthful contours and lift sagging skin.
- Temples: Replace age-related hollowing for a balanced appearance.
- Nasolabial Folds: Soften and minimize for a refreshed look.
- Marionette Lines: Smooth and reduce to resolve a tired or angry appearance.
- Neck & Décolleté: Restore firmness and elasticity to aging skin that appears crepey.
- Hands: Improve texture and reduce the appearance of veins, thin skin, and reduce visible bone structure
- Body Areas: Smooth and soften to tighten the skin in areas that have lost firmness, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and skin laxity.
- Hair Regeneration: If the hair follicles are intact, PRP with PRFM can stimulate them with nutrients to trigger new hair growth.
- Under Eyes: PRP with PRFM can improve skin texture and luminosity of the most delicate tissues like these.
PRP with PRFM is ideal for use on areas with thin skin, often described as crepey and thin, as skin ages. These areas include the area under the eyes and the backs of the hands. PRP with PRFM is best for improving skin texture and luminosity of the most delicate tissues. Because PRP with PRFM stimulates new blood supply, it can also aid in regenerating hair growth by bringing nutrients to the hair follicles.
