Bio-stimulating treatments are designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating our body’s natural collagen production. Unlike volumising products that provide an immediate enhancement, bio-stimulating treatments work gradually over several weeks to months.
We only use bio-stimulating treatments that have been approved by Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA). Bio-stimulating treatments commonly contain substances such as poly-L-actic acid or calcium hydroxylapatitie (CaHA). Due to the changes in the recent TGA guidelines, we are unable to disclose the specific brand names that we use within our clinic.
