Beyond Botox: How Biostimulators Support Skin Rejuvenation
Botox has long been a trusted treatment for smoothing wrinkles and softening expression lines — and it continues to be one of our most requested services at Godley Clinic in Abbotsford.
But Botox is just the beginning.
Today, more and more patients are pairing Botox with biostimulators — injectable treatments that don’t just relax muscles but actively support your skin’s structure and long-term health. The goal? Firmer, smoother, more radiant skin that lasts.
What Are Biostimulators — and How Do They Work with Botox?
While Botox targets dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, biostimulators take a different route. They work deeper in the skin, triggering your body’s collagen production to rebuild structure, improve elasticity, and support long-term rejuvenation.
Dr. Mark Godley often recommends two of the most effective biostimulators:
Radiesse – A calcium-based injectable that provides instant lift and volume while stimulating collagen in the deeper layers of the skin
Sculptra – A poly-L-lactic acid injectable that gradually encourages your body to restore lost collagen over several weeks
These treatments don’t replace Botox — they work in synergy with it. Botox smooths expression lines, while biostimulators enhance the underlying structure and skin quality. It’s a more complete approach to skin rejuvenation.
One Patient’s Story: Meet Lisa
Patient name has been changed for privacy.
We’ll call her Lisa — a 47-year-old patient from Abbotsford. She came to our clinic for her regular Botox treatment with Dr. Godley, happy with how it softened lines around her forehead and eyes. But this time, she brought up something new — she was starting to notice a general loss of firmness in her cheeks and jawline.
Rather than simply adding volume, Dr. Godley suggested a collagen-boosting treatment plan that kept her Botox routine but introduced Radiesse to support deeper rejuvenation. He also used a small amount of Radiesse to the jawline to support structure and definition.
At her three-month follow-up, Lisa told us she was getting more compliments than ever. “No one knows I’ve had anything done, they just keep saying I look really well. It’s subtle, but I feel the difference.”
Why Abbotsford Patients Are Choosing Biostimulators
Biostimulators are ideal for patients who want more than short-term smoothing — they want to support their skin’s health over time. And at our Abbotsford clinic, more patients are choosing to combine Botox with biostimulators for a longer-lasting, naturally refreshed look.
Here’s why:
Natural collagen production
Gradual, buildable results
Improved tone, texture, and firmness
Complements Botox
Fewer touch-ups over time
They’re especially effective for areas where skin laxity and volume loss become more noticeable — like the cheeks, jawline, and temples.
Dr. Godley’s Regenerative Approach
With over 25 years of experience in medical aesthetics, Dr. Mark Godley brings deep clinical knowledge and artistry to every treatment plan. His approach blends trusted techniques like Botox with advanced regenerative solutions, including biostimulators, thread lifts and Evangeline PRF.
For patients like Lisa, combining Botox with collagen-boosting treatments like Radiesse is less about chasing dramatic change and more about supporting what’s already there. It’s about feeling confident in your skin — and hearing others say you look well, even if they can’t quite pinpoint why.
Everyone’s skin ages differently, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. If you’re curious about how biostimulators might fit into your own treatment plan, we’re here to talk it through.
Results vary. A consultation is required to determine if these treatments are right for you.
