Overview
The use of biostimulators (independent which substance or in which product combination) has become an important treatment step for every aesthetic practice. Understanding how biostimulators work, in which anatomic plane they need to be injected, and which technique needs to be used is fundamental to the treatment success and safety profile. Learn in this video how the lateral face can be addressed and at the same time how the cheeks and the Marionette lines can be improved: introducing the Star Technique.
