Bio Stimulators in Ottawa Before & After

These before and after images are from actual patients of Dr. James Lacey and Dr. Mehrad Jaberi. They help you understand your options and set realistic goals for your procedure.

What Are Ottawa Bio Stimulators?

Bio Stimulators are injectable treatments that stimulate the body’s natural processes to improve skin quality. These treatments are different from traditional dermal fillers, as they focus on encouraging the body’s own regenerative abilities rather than simply adding volume. The primary goal of Bio Stimulators is to enhance collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

How They Work

Bio Stimulators mechanism involves the following steps:

  1. The Bio Stimulator is injected via fine needles into targeted areas. It integrates with the skin’s tissue and begins to stimulate fibroblast activity.
  2. As the body responds to the injection, it starts producing collagen, which gradually restores volume and improves skin texture.
  3. The effects of Bio Stimulators develop progressively. This allows for natural-looking enhancements that evolve over several months.

Bio Stimulators Procedure: What to Expect

  1. Initial Consultation

    The process begins with an initial consultation where our cosmetic nurses evaluate your aesthetic goals, medical history, and skin condition. This helps in determining if Bio Stimulators are the right choice for you.

    Based on the assessment, a personalized treatment plan is created. This plan includes recommendations for the type of Bio Stimulator to use, the areas to be treated, and the expected number of sessions.

    Pre-Treatment Preparation

    You are provided with specific instructions to prepare for the procedure. This may include avoiding certain medications or supplements that could increase the risk of bruising. On the day of the treatment, the targeted areas are cleansed and, if needed, a topical numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort during the injections.

    Injection 

    Bio Stimulators are injected into the deeper layers of the skin using fine needles or a cannula. Based on your initial consultation, the type of Bio Stimulator is selected. 

    Post-Treatment Care

    You will receive guidelines for post-treatment care, including recommendations to avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and applying ice to reduce swelling. Mild swelling, bruising, or redness may occur at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days.

    Recovery and Results

    Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Any minor side effects typically resolve within a few days. However, follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor progress and determine if additional treatments are necessary to maintain the desired results.

Who Should Avoid Bio Stimulators?

  • Patients with certain medical conditions or skin disorders may need to avoid Bio Stimulators. This includes those with severe allergies or autoimmune diseases that affect the skin.
  • Those taking medications that affect bleeding or bruising may need to adjust their treatment plan. 
  • While Bio Stimulators are generally well-tolerated, individuals with known allergies to the components of Bio Stimulators (e.g., PLLA, CaHA) should discuss their concerns without cosmetic nurses..Those with highly sensitive skin or a history of adverse reactions to injectable treatments may need a customized approach to ensure safety and comfort.

Average Pricing of Bio Stimulators

Sculptra® typically ranges from $800 to $1,200 per vial. Radiesse® costs generally fall between $600 and $1,000 per syringe. PRP prices range from $500 to $1,200 per session. While these average prices provide a good starting point for general expectations, the actual cost may vary based on individual needs and treatment plans. At Kanata Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, we recommend speaking directly with our cosmetic nurses for a personalized consultation. They will provide a detailed breakdown of all costs involved, so there are no surprises later on. We also offer third-party payment options and financing plans to help manage the overall cost of treatment.
