TLDR Injectable biostimulators can improve skin by boosting collagen and fat cell activity, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
The document reviews the use of injectable biostimulatory agents like PLLA, PCL, and CaHA in regenerative aesthetics, focusing on their ability to stimulate collagen production and adipocyte activity, which improves skin volume, elasticity, and texture. PLLA is noted for its long-term effects on dermal thickness and elasticity, while PCL acts as a scaffold for stem cells, enhancing adipogenesis and dermal remodeling. CaHA provides immediate volumization with long-term benefits. Despite promising results, the review highlights the need for standardized protocols and large-scale studies to confirm the efficacy and safety of these treatments in aesthetic applications.
