At Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw, MD, we take a long-term approach to skin health. Our DEJ Biostim Treatment is a needle-free, topical treatment designed to go beyond surface-level results by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production and improving your skin quality over time.
This treatment is ideal for clients who want real, lasting change in their skin, built gradually through their body’s own collagen production.
What is a DEJ Biostim Treatment?
DEJ Biostim is a needle-free topical treatment that targets the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production.
Biostimulation is an advanced approach to skincare that works by encouraging your skin to produce more collagen and elastin. These are the essential building blocks that keep your skin firm, smooth, and resilient.
The treatment targets the dermal-epidermal junction, the layer where your epidermis and dermis meet and where much of your skin’s structural strength begins. A patent-pending, multi-acid formula delivers antioxidant phytoacids to this layer, encouraging your skin’s own repair process rather than adding volume from outside.
As we age, collagen production naturally slows. Biostim treatments help restart that process, improving:
- Skin texture and smoothness
- Elasticity and firmness
- Overall tone and clarity
When paired with Revision Skincare’s clinically backed formulations, your skin is supported both in-office and at home for enhanced, longer-lasting results.
Why We Pair It with Revision Skincare
Your results don’t stop when you leave your appointment. This treatment includes a Revision post-procedure regimen designed to:
- Calm and protect the skin
- Support healing and recovery
- Enhance collagen stimulation
- Extend and maintain your results
Pairing in-office treatment with take-home care lets us treat your skin holistically, maximizing every session in your series.
What’s Included
Every DEJ Biostim treatment at Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw, MD includes the following, so your results are supported from start to finish:
- Series of 3 Biostim Treatments: Sessions are spaced strategically to build collagen gradually and effectively
- Revision Post-Procedure Take-Home Kit: Professional-grade skincare supports your results between visits
- Personalized Guidance From Your Provider: Your provider offers support throughout your series to help you get the most from every session
What Results Can You Expect?
This is a progressive treatment, meaning your results build over time rather than appearing all at once. In a 12-week clinical study, participants using DEJ Biostim saw measurable improvement across several key markers:
- Skin firmness: 78% saw improvement
- Skin texture: 88% saw improvement
- Fine lines: 88% saw improvement
- Wrinkles: 81% saw improvement
- Pore appearance: 91% saw improvement
These numbers come straight from Revision Skincare’s clinical research. Everyone’s skin responds a little differently, but most clients see their first changes after just one treatment, with results building nicely through the rest of the series.
How Does DEJ Biostim Compare to Injectable Biostimulators?
DEJ Biostim works topically at the skin’s surface layer, while injectable biostimulators like Sculptra work beneath the skin to add volume and structure.
Many clients start with DEJ Biostim if they’re needle-averse or want to ease into biostimulation with zero downtime. Others move on to options like Sculptra once they’re ready to address deeper volume loss that a topical treatment can’t reach on its own. The two aren’t mutually exclusive, and plenty of clients use DEJ Biostim between injectable sessions to help maintain their results. Your provider can walk you through which path, or combination, fits your goals best.
Who is a Good Candidate?
DEJ Biostim tends to work best for clients who are:
- Noticing early signs of aging
- Interested in preventative skincare
- Looking for natural, regenerative results
- Wanting to improve their overall skin quality
It’s a great option if you prefer a subtle, buildable approach rather than more aggressive treatments.
DEJ Biostim isn’t the right choice for everyone. Clients with more significant volume loss, deep static wrinkles, or skin laxity that needs more dramatic correction usually see better results from an injectable biostimulator or a more targeted procedure. Your provider will help you figure out where you fall during your consultation.
What Is the Downtime for DEJ Biostim Treatments?
Downtime is typically minimal, with some clients experiencing mild redness or sensitivity that resolves within a day or two.
These effects are temporary and usually resolve quickly. Your provider will guide you through exactly what to expect and how to care for your skin after your treatment.
Why a Series of 3 DEJ Biostim Treatments?
Collagen production builds over multiple sessions, which is why Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw, MD structures DEJ Biostim as a series. A series allows us to:
- Stimulate collagen consistently
- Build results gradually and naturally
- Achieve more noticeable, longer-lasting improvements
Think of it as training your skin to perform better over time.
