It's important to maintain a gentle skincare routine to protect your skin. Avoid harsh or abrasive products immediately after the procedure.

Protect your skin from the sun by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing, as UV exposure can interfere with the effectiveness of the biostimulator and lead to unwanted side effects.
Hydration
Staying well-hydrated can support collagen production and overall skin health.
Follow-up Appointments
You may need follow-up treatments to maintain and enhance the results, as the effects of biostimulators are not permanent.
Watch For Complications
Be vigilant for any unusual or severe reactions, such as excessive swelling, pain, or signs of infection. If any concerns arise, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
