Collagen biostimulators
Biostimulators do not fill: they induce your skin to produce its own collagen. The result is firmness and better skin quality, progressively and with a natural appearance.
What are collagen biostimulators?
Collagen biostimulators are injectable substances that induce the skin to produce its own collagen. Unlike hyaluronic acid, which adds volume where it is lacking, the biostimulator activates a process: it is your own cells that regenerate firmness.
Among those I use are Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite), Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), Profhilo, and Belotero for deep hydration. Each has its indication depending on the skin and the objective.
The result does not appear overnight: it builds progressively, as the skin produces new collagen. That is why the appearance is natural, not filled.

About Dr. Eliana Garcés
I am Dr. Eliana Garcés, a plastic surgeon in Barranquilla. I see aesthetics as an investment in well-being: surgery and regenerative medicine work together to achieve real, long-lasting results.
Cellular regeneration and biostimulation are the core of my practice in aesthetic medicine. Part of my experience with injectables is published in international scientific journals.
Being a surgeon gives me an honest advantage: I know what biostimulation can achieve and also where it ends. When a case requires surgery, I say so; when it does not, regeneration is the path.
Restore firmness to your skin with biostimulators that stimulate your natural collagen
Biostimulators activate the natural production of collagen to improve skin quality and achieve progressive, subtle, and lasting rejuvenation.
What the treatment with biostimulators is like
Assessment
Assessment of the skin, the degree of laxity, and expectations. Here it is determined whether biostimulation is the indicated route or if your case requires another option.
Personalized plan
The biostimulator (or combination) is chosen, along with the areas, the number of sessions, and whether it is advisable to add technology, with protocols adapted to your case.
Application
In-office, with medical technique and original product. The session is brief and you can resume your routine promptly.
Follow-up
Collagen production is evaluated over time; follow-ups allow the plan to be adjusted and maintenance to be determined.
Biostimulation with a regenerative approach
Biostimulation is one of the pillars of the regenerative approach of Regenera, the aesthetic medicine ecosystem I integrated into my surgical practice: stimulating the body’s own natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, rather than only adding external substances.
Biostimulators can be combined with each other and with technology such as Ultherapy, Morpheus8, or the Fotona laser, with protocols I adapt to each patient. That combination enhances collagen production more than any isolated treatment.
I am also honest about their limits: the stimulus is transitory and, when laxity is significant, the response may fall short. In those cases I say so directly, because the indicated option may be surgical.
Who is a good candidate for collagen biostimulators
Biostimulators have clear indications, and part of my work is to tell you whether your case is one of them.
You are a good candidate if you notice loss of firmness or skin quality in the face, seek a progressive and natural result, and prefer to stimulate your own collagen rather than add volume. Also if you want to accompany a treatment with technology to enhance its results.
If laxity is significant, biostimulation may fall short: the honest answer may be a facelift. That assessment is made during the evaluation, not after several sessions without results.

Schedule Your Evaluation Appointment
If you are considering a treatment with collagen biostimulators, the next step is an evaluation appointment, in person or virtual. There your skin, your degree of laxity, and your expectations are assessed, and you receive an honest recommendation: which product, how many sessions, and whether this is truly the right route for your case.
