Collagen biostimulators have become one of the most sought-after treatments in aesthetic medicine. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, biostimulators activate your skin’s own natural collagen production. At Elyzea in Lima, the price is $280 USD per vial (S/980) for Sculptra, Radiesse, Profhilo, and Gouri. In the United States, the same products cost $800 to $1,500 per vial — a savings of 65–81%.

What Are Collagen Biostimulators?
Biostimulators are injectable substances that stimulate your body to produce new collagen. Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid fillers — which add volume immediately but are reabsorbed within 6 to 12 months — biostimulators trigger a biological rejuvenation process that progressively and durably improves skin quality, firmness, and elasticity.
The 4 Biostimulators Available at Elyzea
Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid)
Sculptra is the most established biostimulator on the market. It gradually stimulates type I collagen production. It’s ideal for restoring facial volume lost to aging and improving overall facial laxity. Results appear progressively over weeks and can last up to 2 years.
Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite)
Radiesse offers a dual effect: immediate volumetric correction (acts as a filler) and long-term collagen stimulation. It’s especially effective for deep nasolabial folds, hands, and redefining the facial contour. Results last 12 to 18 months.
Profhilo (pure hyaluronic acid)
Profhilo is not a conventional filler. It’s a bio-remodeler containing the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid on the market (64 mg in 2 ml). It spreads through the skin, stimulating both collagen and elastin simultaneously. It’s ideal for improving overall skin quality: deep hydration, radiance, and firmness. Results last approximately 6 to 12 months.
Gouri (liquid polycaprolactone)
Gouri is the newest biostimulator. Its liquid polycaprolactone (PCL) formula distributes evenly throughout the tissue, stimulating collagen comprehensively. Unlike other biostimulators injected at specific points, Gouri diffuses for a global rejuvenation effect. Results last up to 12 to 24 months.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?
The number of sessions varies by product and goal:
- Typical protocol: 2 to 3 sessions spaced every 4 to 6 weeks
- Profhilo: Generally 2 initial sessions one month apart
- Sculptra: 2 to 3 sessions spaced every 6 weeks
- Progressive results: Improvement continues for weeks after each session
- Maintenance: One annual session to prolong results
Estimated total investment for a complete protocol: $560 to $840 USD (S/1,960 to S/2,940) — compared to $1,600 to $4,500 USD in the United States.
Biostimulators vs. Traditional Fillers
What’s the key difference?
- Fillers (hyaluronic acid): Immediate result, direct volume, duration 6–12 months. Ideal for lips, under-eyes, cheekbones
- Biostimulators: Progressive result, stimulate your own collagen, duration 1–2 years. Ideal for laxity, skin quality, global rejuvenation
- Many patients benefit from both treatments in different areas or at different times
