Biostimulators at SoHo Men's Beauty with Dr. Bortecen
Experience the transformative effects of biostimulators at SoHo Men's Beauty, led by the expertise of Dr. Bortecen. Biostimulators like Sculptra, Radiesse, and Bellafill are cutting-edge treatments that stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production, making them ideal for enhancing facial volume, smoothing fine lines, and restoring firmness without surgery.
HOW BIOSTIMULATORS WORK?
​
Biostimulators are designed to encourage collagen growth from within, gradually improving skin texture, elasticity, and volume. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect.
-
Consultation: Every biostimulator treatment begins with a personalized consultation. Dr. Bortecen will assess your skin’s needs and discuss which biostimulator—Sculptra, Radiesse, or Bellafill—will best achieve your goals.
​
-
Preparation: Dr. Bortecen applies a numbing agent to ensure a comfortable experience. The biostimulator product is then carefully prepared to address the targeted areas.
​
-
Injection: Using precise techniques, Dr. Bortecen injects the biostimulator into targeted areas. Each product has its unique injection method, designed to optimize collagen stimulation and ensure natural-looking results.
​
-
Massage & Activation: After the injection, a gentle massage is performed to integrate the product smoothly into the skin and encourage collagen activation.
​
-
Gradual Results: Results unfold gradually as collagen production increases over time. While you may notice some initial improvement, the full effects develop over weeks or months, resulting in a subtle and long-lasting transformation.
