Are there any serious risks?

Biostimulators are very safe, and most side effects are injection related – mild swelling, bruising and soreness. These are temporary and will resolve with no issues.

Biostimulators are mixed with local anaesthetic (lidocaine 2%) before injecting into the required area to be treated. When combined with topical anaesthetic cream on the skin the procedure is relatively pain free and usually extremely well tolerated by patients

Is there any downtime following Biostimulator treatment?

As with any injection treatment, there may be side effects such as localised redness, swelling and bruising. There may be slight swelling and mild discomfort in the treated areas for up to 24 hours following Biostimulator treatment. Swelling that lasts longer than 1 to 2 days is uncommon (1 episode per 1000 patients) but always fully resolves with a week in most cases. Bruising is possible but is not common. It usually resolves within a week and easily covered by makeup in most cases.
