How it works
Rejuvenating collagen stimulators are a health-promoting, injectable skin treatment that works to reduce the visible signs of ageing. The treatment stimulates collagen production by inducing a mild and controlled inflammatory reaction, renewing natural skin elasticity and firmness.
This collagen-stimulating solution contains a substance called PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid). This biocompatible material improves the skin’s structure and framework. When injected deep into specific areas of the face, the substance induces a subclinical inflammatory response that revitalises the skin’s natural collagen production. As your skin absorbs the solution, collagen gradually regenerates, leading to improved skin structure and strength.
What are the benefits?
This treatment yields excellent benefits for a wide variety of skin types and conditions. The treatment naturally stimulates collagen fibres, giving patients gradually improving, natural results. A full treatment, with regular sessions over the span of several months, not only makes the skin noticeably more youthful but also reinvigorates the skin at a cellular level to produce lasting results.
The benefits of a collagen-stimulating solution treatment include:
Reduction of facial creases
Other benefits include:
- Reduction of lines, and wrinkles
- Clinically proven and trusted treatment
- Gentle, non-invasive treatment with natural results
- Long-lasting skin strength and firmness
- An overall youthful look, for greater confidence
The treatment can be tailored to your needs, based on your degree of facial ageing and collagen loss. This way, you can achieve results that suit you and your skin.
Ideal candidates for a collagen-stimulating solution treatment
At your consultation, we will give you guidance and recommendations based on your skin condition and ideals. As well as this, we will discuss your health and expectations to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment. In general, a collagen-stimulating solution treatment is perfect for men or women seeking a non-invasive way to reduce wrinkles and other signs of ageing whilst simultaneously improving their skin’s health. It is also ideal for people who are concerned about:
- Overall decreased skin quality
- Skin laxity
- Lack of collagen in the skin
- Lines and wrinkles
- Descent of facial tissues
What to expect
On the day of your treatment, your clinician may apply a topical anaesthetic. This will ensure you have a comfortable experience, without any pain. Your skin will then be cleaned and prepped for treatment, and your clinician will mark specific areas to be injected.
Injections will then be made into the marked areas of skin, using specific techniques to facilitate optimal distribution of the substance beneath the dermis. There are multiple ways in which this collagen-stimulating solution boosts your skin’s health and youthful appearance:
- The injected solution immediately fills wrinkles, making your skin smoother and volumised
- Your skin absorbs the solution back into your body
- The collagen-stimulating particles left behind will stimulate new collagen, encouraging gradual improvement of lines, wrinkles, and skin folds
Things to consider
After your collagen-stimulating solution treatment, you may experience some mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising. These mild symptoms should not be a cause for concern and should resolve on their own for two to six days. Other risks are less common but can include:
- Skin discolouration
- Inflammation
- Lumps under the skin
- Persistent swelling
