When asking about fillers, many people wonder whether hyaluronic acid or a biostimulator is better. They do not compete: they solve different problems.
Hyaluronic acid: immediate volume and hydration
It is a molecule that holds water. It is used to add volume to lips, cheeks or chin, define contours or hydrate the skin. The result is visible right away and reversible with hyaluronidase. It lasts 6 to 18 months depending on the product and area.
Biostimulators: your own collagen
Substances such as poly-L-lactic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite activate your cells to produce collagen. Improvement is gradual (weeks) and enhances skin firmness and quality. They usually require several sessions.
Can they be combined?
Yes. It is common to use biostimulators to improve support and skin quality and hyaluronic acid to touch up specific points. The right combination depends on your face.
The best way to decide is a personalized medical assessment.
