Biostimulation threads: a new skin quality, from within
The deep structure of the skin can lose support, density and the ability to reflect light uniformly; in these cases, the skin appears less firm, less elastic and duller: the change doesn't just affect the surface.
In these cases, the Aesthetic medicine can intervene with targeted treatments that do not transform the face, but accompany its balance. Biostimulation threads were created precisely with this objective: to support the skin discreetly, promoting a progressive improvement in its quality, without stiffening expressiveness and without altering the features.
What are biostimulation threads?
Biostimulation threads are resorbable and biocompatible threads used to stimulate the skin to regain tone, firmness, and brightness. Unlike other treatments that primarily focus on volume or lifting, this approach works on the quality of the skin tissue and its ability to regenerate gradually.
This is why they are often chosen by those who desire a natural, elegant, and progressive result. Their value lies not in an immediately visible effect, but in their ability to guide the skin towards a fresher, more relaxed, and more harmonious appearance over time.
How do they act
Unlike the traction filaments, which have a more support- and lifting-oriented function for the tissues, biostimulation threads primarily exert a biological action. Once inserted into the dermis, they promote a regenerative response that stimulates fibroblasts and supports the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
The improvement is therefore gradual. As the weeks pass, the skin tends to appear firmer, more even, and brighter, with a result that enhances the face without making it look artificial or marked by overly obvious corrections.
When indicated
Biostimulation threads are recommended when the main goal is not to “lift” the face, but to improve skin structure. They are often advised in the initial or intermediate stages of sagging, when the skin needs to regain support and vitality.
Are they a suitable solution in the presence of:
– dull and lacklustre skin;
– reduction in tone and elasticity;
– early signs of mild laxity;
– irregular texture and reduced compactness;
– desire for a minimally invasive and natural treatment.
How is the treatment carried out
The treatment is carried out in a clinic, following an accurate medical assessment and a personalised plan based on the characteristics of the face and skin. Threads are inserted using fine needles or micro-cannulas, according to a precise design studied to support tissue quality in the areas that need it most.
The procedure is generally well-tolerated and is performed with local anaesthetic where indicated. In most cases, recovery times are short, which makes biostimulation threads particularly popular with those seeking a refined, effective treatment that is compatible with the demands of daily life.
When are the results seen
Biostimulation threads do not produce an immediate effect comparable to that of a Filler. Their strength is different: they activate a gradual skin renewal process that manifests in the weeks following treatment.
Progressively, the skin appears more firm, smoother, and brighter. The result tends to be perceived as natural because it doesn't alter facial volumes, but refines the overall quality, giving back a more rested and well-cared-for appearance. In some cases, increased production of endogenous hyaluronic acid is also stimulated, which further helps to hydrate and “plump” the skin from within.
Where can they be used
Biostimulation threads can be used in various areas of the face and, in some cases, even the body. The areas most frequently treated are those where the skin gradually tends to lose tone, elasticity, and definition.
Among the most popular areas are the face, neck, and décolleté. In selected protocols, the treatment can also be considered for other areas characterised by mild sagging and loss of firmness.
Who are they suitable for
This treatment is designed for those who wish to improve their skin quality without resorting to drastic changes. It is particularly suitable for patients seeking a subtle, progressive result that is consistent with their own features.
Medical assessment remains essential at all times. Only an accurate examination allows us to understand whether biostimulation threads are the most suitable choice or if it is preferable to supplement them with other aesthetic medicine treatments as part of a broader, personalised plan.
