Biostimulators: Revitalize Your Skin Naturally with Dr. Ernst Möller in Cape Town

What Are Biostimulators?

In the ever-evolving world of aesthetic medicine, the focus is increasingly shifting towards treatments that not only enhance appearance but also restore and support the body’s natural processes. Biostimulators represent a groundbreaking step in this direction a natural and regenerative approach to facial rejuvenation that helps you age beautifully and gracefully. At the practice of Dr. Ernst Möller, a leading Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon in Cape Town, we offer advanced biostimulatory treatments tailored to your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Biostimulators are injectable treatments designed to stimulate your body’s own collagen production. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that provide immediate volume by filling space with hyaluronic acid or other substances, biostimulators work more gradually and profoundly. They help rebuild the skin’s internal scaffolding, restoring structure, firmness, and elasticity over time. These treatments are particularly effective for patients looking for a natural, long-lasting solution to signs of aging such as:

• Volume loss
• Skin laxity
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull or thinning skin
• Facial sagging

Biostimulators don’t just fill they regenerate.

Types of Biostimulators Offered

Dr. Möller offers clinically proven biostimulators such as Sculptra® (Poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse® (Calcium Hydroxylapatite). Each product has unique properties and benefits, and the ideal choice depends on your skin type, age, goals, and anatomical considerations.

Sculptra®

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based biostimulator. It works deep within the dermis to gradually restore lost collagen — the protein responsible for skin’s structure and elasticity. Sculptra is ideal for patients who want to:

• Rebuild volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline
• Improve skin thickness and texture
• Achieve subtle, natural-looking results over time

Sculptra typically requires a series of treatments spaced weeks apart, with results becoming noticeable after several months. The improvements are long-lasting — often up to two years or more.

Radiesse®

Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It provides immediate volume enhancement along with collagen stimulation. Over time, the gel is absorbed, and the remaining microspheres continue to support new collagen production.

Radiesse is particularly effective for:

• Contouring and defining facial features like the chin and jawline
• Improving skin quality on the face, neck, and hands
• Creating a lifted, youthful appearance with minimal downtime

It offers both instant gratification and long-term improvement — the best of both worlds.
