For decades, fillers have literally changed the face of the cosmetic industry. Now, more and more, we are using various agents throughout the body to do a lot more than just fill wrinkles. Facial volumization has proven that we can use fillers to lift and shift skin.
With the advent of semi-permanent fillers such as Radiesse and Sculptra, we determined that treatments of various formulation have what we call a ‘biostimulatory effect’ on tissues, causing long term collagen and elastin production. The result is a predictable long lasting smoothening and tightening of skin anywhere on the body.
Developing another signature technique, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, created PFRANKMD™ BIOSTIM treatments as a way to remove cellulite and tighten skin anywhere on the body. Common areas of treatment are the knees, thighs, buttocks, chest, and inner arm wrinkles and crepey skin.
Biostimulatory Fillers
What to Expect: Biostim Treatment
At PFRANKMD, the first step to better skin is a consultation with our licensed provider to create your customized treatment plan. On treatment day, your provider will perform the biostimulatory filler treatment with topical anesthesia; you can return to daily activities immediately.
Performed with a unique hyperdilute formulation of both Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite) and Sculptra (poly-lactic acid), both immediate and semi-permanent results can be achieved to improve skin quality without producing bulk or a filled look associated with other techniques.

The art of injectables is not about looking different. It’s about elevating your appearance with expert technique and subtle, strategic placement. At PFRANKMD, we specialize in undetectable injectables that refresh without revealing you’ve had anything done.
At PFRANKMD, we treat faces, not features. It’s never about the one area you point to in the mirror. It’s about how everything works together.
People often ask where I prioritize injectable treatments on the face, and my answer is always the same: everywhere. I don’t treat isolated regions like lips, eyes, cheekbones, chins, or earlobes. I take a global, full-face approach that creates harmony, balance, and longevity.
Small amounts placed strategically in multiple areas and frequent minor touch-ups remain the core of my philosophy. This is how we achieve undetectable injectables, not the overdone, filled, or hollowed look people fear.

Recovery is a journey, and the care you receive after your procedure is just as important as the surgery itself. With the right combination of lasers and injectables—timed carefully around the body’s natural healing process—we can minimize side effects, support recovery, and maximize your results for years to come.

Bruising is one of the first post-operative concerns. VBeam laser speeds bruise resolution while scars and stitches are monitored. Early intervention helps those prone to keloids or raised scars.

For procedures around the eyes or forehead, neuromodulators are introduced to relax muscle tension. This not only supports healing but also protects delicate surgical sites and enhances comfort.

By one month, most swelling has subsided, but scars are still active in the healing process. Vascular lasers such as reduce redness, broken capillaries, and pigmentation for more even healing. Broken capillaries around the ears and eyes are also commonly treated at this stage.

Simple Rules for Safe and Effective Injectable Treatments
Injectables are an essential part of cosmetic rejuvenation, but they come with common, manageable risks—like bruising. It can happen to anyone, no matter how experienced the injector or how careful the prep. To reduce the risk, avoid alcohol, pain relievers, and certain supplements like fish oil and vitamin E for 24–48 hours before treatment.
Watch this video to see for yourself: even Dr. Frank isn’t immune to post-injection bruising. It’s simply part of the process. The good news? A vascular laser like the VBeam can quickly clear it up.

WARNING: Injectable cosmetic agents, although safe and effective, do carry some health and cosmetic risks . They must be performed by experienced and licensed healthcare professionals and only after thorough consultation of the various options and their relative risks.
Listen as I discuss non-invasive cosmetic treatments, such as injectables, energy-based devices, and threads, on the ability to have successful plastic surgery in the future and the potential impact and importance of coordinating care between your cosmetic dermatologist and plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible outcomes, whether the patient decides to undergo surgery or not.

Achieving the best possible outcome from facial plastic surgery extends far beyond the operating room. Post-surgical care plays a critical role in supporting healing, enhancing results, and maintaining facial harmony over time. Immediate postoperative management focuses on controlling swelling and bruising through modalities such as lymphatic drainage, cold compresses, and, when appropriate, vascular laser treatments like VBeam. These therapies can minimize inflammation, reduce discoloration, and accelerate visible recovery.
Ensuring that incisions heal cleanly and without complications is also essential. This involves proper wound care, scar prevention strategies, and sometimes the early use of treatments like silicone gels or light-based therapy to minimize scar visibility. Neuromodulators (such as Botox or Dysport) may also be used in the early healing stages to reduce tension on healing incisions and prevent the formation of dynamic wrinkles.
As healing progresses, the focus shifts toward refinement and long-term maintenance. Cosmetic injectables—including hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulatory agents like Sculptra, and neuromodulators—can help restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance surgical outcomes without the need for further invasive procedures. These treatments are especially effective in maintaining youthful contours and prolonging the benefits of surgery.
Ultimately, collaboration between a skilled facial plastic surgeon and an experienced cosmetic dermatologist ensures a 360-degree approach to rejuvenation. By combining surgical precision with advanced aesthetic maintenance, patients can enjoy natural-looking, long-lasting results that evolve beautifully over time.

Biostimulatory injectables represent a powerful class of treatments that go beyond traditional fillers. Rather than simply adding volume, these products work by stimulating the body’s own regenerative processes, encouraging collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin quality, and promoting long-term improvements in tissue health.
As we age, we naturally lose collagen, elastin, fat, and structural support, leading to volume loss, sagging, textural irregularities, and a tired appearance. Biostimulatory agents restore what time has taken by triggering the body to rebuild from within, making them ideal for patients seeking a more natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.

Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that primarily provide instant volume through gel-like substances, biostimulatory fillers act as catalysts for regeneration.
They often have a more subtle, progressive onset of results—typically peaking several months after treatment—and can continue working for over a year or longer.

Here, we are using biostimulatory fillers on the abdomen to restore volume in areas with skin dimpling.
These injectables help to smoothen lines, plump the skin, and provide long-lasting results for up to a year.
This can be especially helpful for women after having babies, where the skin and muscles have stretched out.
The procedure typically takes about 20 minutes with minimal downtime and can be performed on various areas of the body.
For deeper indentations, we have been achieving remarkable results with VRG (VSEL Stem Cell Rich Gels) injections. These injections fill and stimulate natural tissue, leading to both short-term and long-term improvements in texture, tone, and skin irregularities.
