The search for procedures that can slow or reverse these effects continues to grow every year in the world and it is in this scenario that collagen biostimulators come in with the promise of improving firmness, support and elasticity of the skin and thus bring facial rejuvenation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the main injectable, biodegradable, and absorbable collagen biostimulators in the treatment of facial sagging and rejuvenation.  The methodology is based on a literature review with analysis of scientific articles. It can be concluded that collagen biostimulators have proven to be effective as a product capable of preventing or reversing the signs of aging.
