(created 2024-04-25) containing an explanatory monologue by a single speaker about biostimulation in aesthetic dermatology. The speaker defines biostimulation as adding ingredients to the skin to stimulate collagen growth, notes there are three main products used, and discusses calcium hydroxyapatite (brand name Radiesse) — originally FDA-approved as a filler in 2006 — and a technique of thinning and spreading Radiesse under the skin to induce collagen production (a technique used for about 10 years).

Then there's a concept of bio stimulation with different products. Biostimulation is adding an ingredient to the skin to help grow collagen, to stimulate collagen growth. So what do we use for that? Well, there's really three main products that we use. There's other products that our use better lure. We use three main products. One is called calcium hydroxyapatite. The brand name is Radiesse. And Radiesse was designed as a filler and it came out in 2006, FDA approved for filling, filling the cheeks and whatnot. Then we found that if we take the radius and thin it out and spread it evenly underneath the skin, it causes significant bio stimulation. That's been a technique that's been used for about 10 years.
