Effects and durability of fillers in aesthetic medicine

Fillers and tissue biostimulators are some of the most popular methods used in aesthetic medicine. Thanks to them, we can obtain immediate and long-term effects of rejuvenation and improvement of the appearance of the skin. In our MM CLINIC clinic, we offer a wide range of these treatments, tailored to the individual needs of patients.

Long-term regeneration: Tissue stimulators

Tissue stimulators, such as polylactic acid, act on the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional fillers, they do not only have the effect of mechanically "pushing out" wrinkles, but stimulate natural regeneration processes, such as the production of collagen and elastin. This leads to gradual achievement of natural and lasting effects of improving skin density.

For patients looking for long-term natural effects, stimulators such as Sculptra will be ideal.

Factors affecting durability

The durability of fillers depends on many elements, including the patient's metabolism, lifestyle, and application technique.

FactorImpact on treatment
MetabolismFaster metabolism = shorter durability of effects
LifestyleSmoking and sun exposure shorten the effects
TechniquePrecise application = better and longer-lasting results

Advantages and disadvantages

Scientific research

Clinical studies confirm the effectiveness of biostimulators such as Sculptra in stimulating collagen production. Thanks to this, we achieve long-term effects of improving the skin structure.
