Bio-Stimulator Treatments

When considering any aesthetic treatment, it is important to be informed about potential risks and to consider two key factors: the safety of the treatment process and the qualifications, training, and experience of the person performing it. Taking time to research your options is strongly recommended.

All medical procedures carry possible side‑effects, which will be discussed with you during your consultation. Treatments designed to restore or enhance facial features use a smooth gel‑based material placed beneath the skin. As with any procedure of this nature, temporary effects such as swelling, bruising, lumpiness or mild discomfort can occur and generally resolve within a few days with simple aftercare. In rare cases, more significant side‑effects such as infection, allergic reaction, granuloma, or tissue injury have been reported, and in extremely rare circumstances, visual changes or vision loss have been documented.

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, our team is trained in emergency response and the management of all adverse events in line with recognised clinical safety guidelines. We follow strict protocols for safe treatment delivery and medical management should a complication arise. At your initial consultation, and at least every 12 months thereafter, you will have a consultation with one of our supervising medical practitioners, who will review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies or health conditions that may affect your suitability for treatment.

Our clinical team undergoes ongoing professional development and participates in regular in‑clinic safety and skills training. We also stay current with industry safety standards and emergency protocols through professional memberships and conference attendance. For your safety, we only use products and devices supplied via approved Australian therapeutic channels and with established safety profiles.

Bio-Stimulator is a skin revitalising treatment. The skin is the body’s largest organ, which loses its elasticity over time, causing fine lines and laxity in thinner-skinned areas, making the application and use of this sleek, slippery product advantageous for skin regeneration and rejuvenation. Ideal areas for treatment include the face, the skin around the mouth, neck, decolletage and hands.

NB: It is NOT indicated close to or around the eyes as it may cause unwanted swelling or puffy eyebags.

Other body areas, such as the tummy, wrinkly arms and knees, are best treated with Bio-Stimulator BODY, which is not yet available in Australia. Don’t worry. As soon as it’s approved, we’ll let you know!

This is a common question, as many clients are concerned about discomfort or the risk of bruising.

One of the key advantages of this treatment is that it typically requires fewer entry points than traditional volumising procedures, as the formulation is designed to disperse effectively beneath the skin across larger areas.

Most clients will only need between 5 to 10 precisely placed application points. Each treatment is tailored using an exclusive technique that considers your unique facial structure.

All entry points are placed in the most suitable anatomical areas to maximise treatment effectiveness and comfort.

Bio-Stimulating Treatments use a smooth, lightweight formulation designed to be placed just beneath the skin’s surface. Unlike structural treatments that target deeper facial layers for lifting or volume enhancement, this approach focuses on supporting the upper layers of the skin by improving hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality.

The consistency of this product allows for even distribution across larger areas, making it ideal for treating thin, crepey, or delicate skin on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Rather than sculpting or reshaping features, this treatment works to promote a more radiant, refreshed appearance by stimulating natural collagen production over time.

One of the additional advantages is that the treatment volume allows for efficient coverage, often requiring fewer entry points and enabling broader rejuvenation with minimal discomfort or downtime.

Bio-Stimulating Treatments are a type of skin-boosting procedure designed to improve hydration, firmness, and skin quality by supporting natural collagen activity.

While they share similar goals with other skin-rejuvenating treatments, the technique and consistency of the product differ.

Skin Boosting Treatments typically use a slightly denser gel formulation and are placed a little deeper in the skin. These are often used to target specific fine lines or more defined areas such as the lips or individual wrinkles. In contrast, Bio-Stimulating Treatments are more fluid in texture and are ideal for treating larger areas of delicate, crepey skin where even distribution is needed — such as the cheeks, neck, décolletage, or hands.

While the applications vary slightly, both treatments support skin regeneration and can be used in combination when clinically appropriate to enhance overall results.

It’s all in the preparation! During the initial consultation, your cosmetic nurse assesses your areas of concern, including your health, suitability, treatment expectations, plan, cost, process, aftercare, and risks and benefits.

At this point, you may wish to plan your treatment for another day; if so, you will be given more information, including before and after care.

If you are prepared to go ahead after a treatment plan has been agreed upon and you’ve had all your questions addressed and are happy to proceed, you will be asked to read, understand, and sign a consent form.

Next, we take your pre-treatment photos of the area to map the progress and improvement; all images are confidential and, like your documented notes, are loaded into your locked clinical file.

As this product is a prescribed medication, we are bound by law to have a video consultation with our doctor or nurse practitioner prescriber to obtain your script.

Your nurse can repeat this treatment over 12 months when your script expires and needs renewal. Finally, a potent topical anaesthetic cream is applied half an hour prior to the treatment to enhance your comfort.

We have a private room where you can relax while your numbing cream works magic!

We take all the steps to ensure you are well cared for at every stage of the treatment process. Part of that involves strict antiseptic techniques and good aftercare by you.

A hospital-grade antiseptic solution is used to clean the skin prior to and continuously during your treatment to avoid introducing surface bacteria.

The treatment areas are first marked, and the product is gently applied beneath the skin in small amounts at each entry point using an ultra-fine device. Cooling tools are used throughout to help numb the area and minimise bleeding or the potential for bruising.

The sensation is often described as a mild scratchy or achy feeling, similar to that of other muscle-relaxing cosmetic treatments, and it typically subsides quickly.

Bio-Stimulator improves the elasticity and texture of the skin, restoring and maintaining the skin’s hydro balance. The treatment is quick, typically taking about 30 minutes.

Treatment with Bio-Stimulator does not affect facial expression, and the hydrating benefits can commonly be seen immediately and over the following days.

Remember, you won’t see the results of collagen and elastin rebuilding till around 4-6 weeks.

After Bio-Stimulator treatment, some reactions might occur; these include slight redness, swelling, itching, bruising, pain, and tenderness. These vary from person to person; some might look spotty, while others may look a bit puffy.

However, responses are generally mild to moderate and typically resolve quickly with appropriate aftercare.

Typically, most reactions resolve spontaneously within one or two days. Therefore, downtime following treatment is minimal, and many clients can return straight to work.

You will be given your aftercare instructions before you leave our clinic, including your encouragement to contact us at any time should you have any concerns.

NB. We recommend using Profhilo Haenkenium cream to help protect, restore, and maintain your results. We stock Profhilo Haenkenium cream in-clinic, please enquire with our helpful staff.

PROTECTS! RESTORES! IMPROVES!

Profhilo Haenkenium cream is an innovative formula packed with antioxidants needed for maintaining cellular youth and vitality.

It contains a hydrating complex that deeply moisturises the skin, along with a specific dry extract from the plant *Salvia Haenkei* known as Haenkenium. This formula helps nourish and protect the skin from premature ageing caused by oxidative stressors such as pollution, excessive UV exposure, poor diet, smoking and the demands of daily life.

Profhilo Haekenium cream is an excellent adjunct to your bio-regenerating cosmetic treatment. This power-packed but lightweight cream serum is suitable for all skin types. It can also be used safely following cosmetic treatments as it soothes irritated, red and inflamed skin whilst restoring skin hydration.

One of the significant advantages of Bio-Stimulator treatment is that the effects are longer-lasting but not permanent; permanent products are known to cause permanent problems!

Therefore, it is recommended to have a complete course of treatments; that is, two treatments one month apart with a follow-up session recommended at 6-9 months.

Around this time, the product gradually breaks down naturally in your skin, and as your skin continues to age with time, top-up treatments are suggested once or twice yearly to maintain its youthful, supple glow and strength.

Duration depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, skin condition, lifestyle, and age. As a result, some will get less, while others will get great longevity from their treatments.

Some benefit from using Profhilo Haenkenium cream, which is an excellent adjunct to your bio-regenerating treatment.

This power-packed but lightweight cream serum is suitable for all skin types. It can also be used safely following cosmetic treatments as it soothes irritated, red and inflamed skin whilst restoring skin hydration.

Please enquire with our lovely front desk staff. These factors and how many treatments you’ll need will be discussed during your consultation.

Bio-stimulating treatments have demonstrated an excellent safety profile since their European launch in 2015. Common responses may include slight redness, swelling, warmth, itching, bruising, or mild tenderness at the treatment site. These effects are typically temporary and tend to resolve on their own within a few days.

Product-related reactions have been rarely reported.

The following more serious adverse reactions have been reported; infection, hypersensitivity, granulomas, skin discolouration or necrosis in the frown area, (NB We do not treat this area with Bio-Stimulator).

The rarer adverse complication of blindness, associated with Dermal Fillers, has not been reported with Bio-Stimulator to date.

Bio-Stimulator should not be used in or near skin areas with skin disease, inflammation, or skin-related problems. Bio-Stimulator has not been tested in pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Individuals with medical conditions that affect the body’s immune response, or those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, may have a higher risk of infection following skin-penetrating procedures.

During your pre-treatment consultation, you should thoroughly discuss your medical history with your treating nurse and our medical prescriber.

NB. Those who are unsuitable for Bio-Stimulator may benefit from Profhilo Haenkenium cream, an innovative formula packed with antioxidants needed for maintaining cellular youth and vitality. Please enquire with our lovely front desk staff.

We recommend allowing a two-week gap before or after other treatments or vaccinations to give your skin and immune system adequate time to recover and heal.

Treatment examples include, but are not limited to:
Muscle-relaxing treatments, gel-based volumising therapies, cosmetic needling, skin tightening, clinical-grade peels, and light or cryo-based procedures such as laser and IPL. If you are unsure, please ask our friendly front desk or clinical team for guidance.

Bio-Stimulator products are biodegradable, so the body naturally breaks them down. A top-up appointment is recommended for some at the one month mark, and then 6-9 months after your initial Bio-Stimulator course of treatments for optimal and long-lasting results.

You can also book a review or follow-up appointment four weeks after your treatment at no further cost if you have questions about the results.

If you have any concerns or experiencing severe pain, prolonged redness, swelling or marked bruising after your treatment, we strongly encourage you to call the clinic and speak with one of our clinicians.

We also offer an after-hours service via social media should you have any worries and need to talk to our nurse on call.
