Collagen Biostimulator, Nottingham
A regenerative approach to facial and skin rejuvenation.
Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Collagen Biostimulators such as Sculptra® and Radiesse® work beneath the skin to encourage natural collagen production. This process strengthens the skin’s structure, improves elasticity, and gradually restores lost volume, giving results that evolve beautifully over time.
Key Benefits:
- Encourages natural collagen production
- Strengthens your skin’s structure
- Improves skin elasticity and texture
- Restores lost volume
What to expect with Collagen Biostimulator treatments at SLA™
Our regenerative approach to rejuvenating your face and skin
Step 01
Personalised Consultation
Begin with a bespoke consultation to explore your concerns, goals, and overall skin condition, ensuring Sculptra® (poly‑L‑lactic acid) or Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite) is the perfect fit for your needs. This also sets the stage for any complementary treatments you might benefit from.
Step 02
Assessment & Planning
Next, a tailored treatment plan is mapped out typically involving a set number of sessions (often spaced weeks apart), choice of product, dosage, and injection strategy customised to your area of concern and desired outcome. Though not detailed on their page, this aligns with industry standards.
Step 03
Precision Treatment
Administered in the clinic by an expert, the Biostimulator is injected carefully using fine needles or cannulas into targeted deeper skin layers. The process typically takes around 45–60 minutes. The injections stimulate natural collagen renewal to improve skin structure gradually.
Step 04
Post-Treatment Guidance & Aftercare
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions including how to manage mild redness or swelling, what to avoid immediately after (like excessive heat or vigorous activity), and possibly massage routines to maximise results. Improvements develop gradually over weeks to months, with effects lasting up to two years depending on product and protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Collagen Biostimulator Treatments at our Clinic in Nottingham
What is a Collagen Biostimulator?
Collagen Biostimulators are injectable treatments (such as Sculptra® or Radiesse®) that stimulate your body’s own natural collagen production. Instead of instantly filling lines, they gradually improve skin structure, firmness, and volume over time.
How is it different from dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers provide immediate results by adding volume directly under the skin. Biostimulators work more slowly, encouraging your skin to rebuild its own collagen network for longer-lasting, natural improvement.
What areas can be treated?
Common treatment areas include the face, jawline, temples, cheeks, décolletage, and hands. Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable areas based on your goals.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require a course of 2–3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. Your personalised treatment plan will outline exactly what’s right for you.
When will I see results?
You may notice subtle improvement within a few weeks, but the best results develop gradually over 2–3 months as new collagen is produced.
How long do results last?
Results can last up to 18–24 months depending on the product used, your skin, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance sessions can help prolong your outcome.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find the procedure comfortable. A fine needle or cannula is used, and local anaesthetic can be applied if needed. Mild tenderness or swelling afterwards is normal and settles quickly.
Is there any downtime?
There is minimal downtime. You may experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. You can return to most normal activities straight after.
What aftercare do I need to follow?
You’ll be advised to massage the treated areas for a few minutes, a few times a day, for several days (depending on product used). Avoid excessive heat, vigorous exercise, and alcohol for 24 hours. Full aftercare guidance will be provided.
Am I suitable for this treatment?
Most healthy adults concerned about skin laxity, volume loss, or fine lines are good candidates. It may not be suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those with certain medical conditions, this will be discussed in your consultation.
