​Researchers who wrote the article 'Assessment of the Possible Impacts of Collagen Biostimulators on Surgical Facelift​' polled over 60 facial surgeons. Over 80% of surgeons stated that previous use of biostimulators increased complication rates​, including postoperative skin irregularities and prolonged inflammation​. Collagen ​biostimulators and energy based devices applied to delay the need for facelift surgery may actually increase intraoperative difficulty and complications when a facelift is finally performed (Avelar et al., 2026).
