Biostimulator Injections in Mesa & Glendale, AZ
Over time, your facial skin undergoes many unavoidable changes due to factors like aging, stress, sun exposure, genetics, and the environment. Additionally, as we age, there is a decrease in facial volume due to collagen and elastin loss. Production of these two proteins begins decreasing around age 25. By age 60, many people have lost 80% of their collagen. Biostimulator injections subtly and gradually restore facial volume by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production to reverse signs of aging.
At Valley Aesthetics Institute, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kyle Sanniec and his team are experts in non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Sanniec wants to make elite procedures available to the average person. With heartfelt compassion and extensive medical expertise, Dr. Sanniec and his team combine meticulous injectable skills with their patients’ goals to deliver beautiful, natural-looking biostimulator results to Scottsdale patients, renewing their confidence and refreshing their youthful appearance.

What Are Injectable Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are fillers that encourage your body’s natural collagen production, gradually improving your skin’s appearance and restoring lost volume. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which only provide short-term volume, biostimulators’ formulations include poly-L-lactic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite.
Biostimulators address the fundamental cause of aging by promoting collagen production deep below the skin’s surface. These biostimulators will trigger your body to produce collagen, restoring fullness and achieving natural looking results.
By stimulating collagen production, biostimulators offer long-lasting results that can restore volume and effectively treat wrinkles and facial folds, improving the appearance of:
- Nasolabial folds, or smile lines
- Marionette lines
- Chin wrinkles
- Hollowed cheeks and temples
- Jawline definition
- Neck and décolletage aging
- Facial balance
Generally, injectable biostimulators require a series of three sessions scheduled 4-6 weeks apart, depending on the condition of your skin and aesthetic goals. Patients experience results that last up to two years or more.
With no downtime or recovery period, injectable biostimulators help your skin create new, natural collagen, providing long-lasting benefits. At Valley Aesthetics Institute, we proudly offer multiple biostimulator options, including Sculptra and Radiesse.

Then, he’ll perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if biostimulators are the appropriate option to deliver natural-looking results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Arizona Biostimulators?
Candidates for biostimulator injection treatments are generally healthy but are looking for minimally invasive procedures to improve the visible signs of aging, such as moderate facial volume loss and good skin elasticity.
North Scottsdale injectable biostimulator candidates should:
- Be in good overall health and live a healthy lifestyle
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be a non-smoker or willing to quit all nicotine at least 48 hours before and after treatment
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have no history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring
- Have a positive outlook and realistic goals for the procedure
- Understand the risks and benefits
Preparing for Your Biostimulator Injection Session
Dr. Sanniec and his team will provide detailed instructions to follow as you get ready for your injections. While your biostimulator treatment plan will be unique to you, here is some general information.
- Stay well-hydrated before and after your procedure. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, as they can contribute to dehydration, bleeding, or bruising.
- Smoking is detrimental to your overall health and will adversely impact your injectable results. Dr. Sanniec recommends patients stop smoking or using nicotine products at least 48 hours before and after injectables.
- Follow your pre-procedure medication protocol, as determined during your consultation. If you take blood thinners, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that may increase bleeding, you will need to avoid these for three to six days.

What to Expect After Your Biostimulator Treatment
Following your biostimulator injections, you may notice redness, slight bruising, or swelling around the injection sites. These side effects will gradually subside over the next few hours to days. You can take Tylenol and apply ice packs wrapped in a clean towel to alleviate discomfort.
Thoroughly follow your injector’s instructions after your biostimulator treatment to ensure optimal results. Avoid:
- Touching or massaging the treated areas for two to four hours

- Sun or heat exposure for 24 hours

How Soon Will I See My Arizona Biostimulator Injection Results?
Since biostimulators are not like typical dermal fillers, don’t be disappointed when you don’t see an immediate improvement. Biostimulators create gradual and subtle effects that you’ll notice over two to three months as your body starts to create new collagen.
Most patients require three sessions to achieve optimal results from their biostimulator injections. With optimal placement, you may experience an enhancement that lasts up to two years. Follow-up injections may be necessary to maintain your refreshed appearance.
