Collagen stimulating injections are a treatment designed to restore collagen and add volume. Also known as collagen injections, they are made of biocompatible polymers used in medicine for decades.
When injected, these products cause an intense collagen stimulating process. This leads to the production of fresh collagen fibres. New collagen reduces facial hollowness and thickens and tightens your skin.
There are two types of collagen stimulating injections:
- Gel based collagen stimulating injections: these give an immediate correction in facial volume. Over 3 months, the volume is replaced by collagen. This gives a long-lasting, natural-looking improvement in areas of hollowing and volume loss.
- Powder based collagen stimulating injections: Historically used for medical facial wasting, this type of collagen injection doesn’t give immediate volume. It causes collagen production over 3 months, building up a gradual result.
If you want to rejuvenate your facial contours and skin, consider collagen stimulating injections. They restore facial structure and tone and tighten your skin. Results look and feel natural, and are long lasting.
People who want to invest in ageing gracefully prefer collagen stimulating injections.
Collagen stimulating injections can rejuvenate most areas of your face and body. Common areas treated include:
- Hollow temples
- Sunken cheeks
- Weak chin
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette folds
- Sagging jawline
- Jowls
- Hollow forehead
- Ageing hands with prominent veins and tendons
- Wrinkled skin on your elbows, knees and décolletage
- Buttock augmentation
Ageing-related collagen loss causes your skin to become thin, weak, and saggy.
Collagen stimulating injections are a non-surgical treatment that restores collagen. This restores strength to your skin, giving it a tighter, more youthful look and feel.
Collagen stimulating injections use specific biopolymers to active fibroblast cells. These cells then produce new collagen.
Collagen is a structural protein found in many parts of your body. It acts as the glue that holds your tissues together. We lose collagen with age.
By replacing collagen, the treatment rejuvenates your skin and facial tissues. This improves structure and tissue strength, giving more youthful contours and skin quality.
You can review current starting and average costs for collagen stimulating injections at Cosmetic Connection on our pricing page.
The cost of collagen stimulating injections depends on the extent and complexity of your treatment. We have packages available for more comprehensive treatments.
Collagen stimulating injections are a great option for those who:
- Want to focus on age gracefully.
- Are experiencing ageing of their skin and facial tissues.
- Have sunken and hollow facial features.
- Are experiencing facial wasting from intense exercise or weight loss.
- Notice thinning and sagging skin.
- Want a longer lasting, more permanent solution than dermal fillers.
We take a conservative approach when performing collagen stimulating injections.
Dermal filler is a volumising gel made of hyaluronic acid. It is temporary and reversible, and used to correct facial volume loss and wrinkles. It can also enhance specific features of the face and body.
Collagen stimulating injections are treatment that restores collagen. Certain types also have an immediate volumising effect. We use them in the same way as dermal fillers, but they give a much more natural, long-lasting result. Collagen gives your face more structural support and long-lasting volume that looks and feels natural.
As we age, the skin and deeper tissues of the face, neck and body lose collagen. The quality of the collagen also decreases. This leads to common signs of ageing like hollowness, wrinkles and thin skin. Our faces also lose deep fat and bone volume.
Collagen stimulating injections target the key contributing factors of ageing. Gel based collagen stimulating injections restore lost volume, and restore new, high-quality collagen. This sculpts youthful facial contours, and improves the tone, tightness, and elasticity of your skin. Powder based collagen injections restore collagen.
We cannot treat your upper and lower eyelids, nose and lips with collagen stimulating injections.
This is because of the delicate natural of the skin in these areas.
Collagen stimulating injections take 20 minutes. There is minimal discomfort and no downtime with this treatment.
After cleaning and numbing the planned treatment areas, we precisely inject the collagen stimulators. The injected areas are then moulded.
You’ll see an immediate result from gel-type products. As your body makes new collagen, the result will improve out to 3 months.
Your session will begin with a consultation to assess your suitability for collagen injections. We will then design your bespoke treatment plan.
Your treatment will take about 20 minutes depending on the extent and complexity of the procedure. Your skin will be cleaned to minimise the risk of infection. We then mark your skin to ensure accurate product placement.
We inject collagen stimulators with either a fine needle, or a blunt tipped cannula. There is almost no discomfort with this process, as we have a range of strong numbing solutions.
After your treatment there may be some mild swelling and tenderness. This will settle quickly. Applying a wrapped cold pack to the injected area will reduce swelling.
Collagen stimulating injections have very little discomfort. We use strong numbing, and injection techniques proven to minimise pain.
Gel collagen stimulating injections give an immediate result that improves over 3 months. The result from powder collagen stimulators develops over 12 weeks.
Collagen stimulators are renowned for their long-lasting, natural results. They can last 5 times longer than dermal fillers.
Collagen stimulating injections are not permanent. While results are very long-lasting results, the product and collagen eventually wear off.
Proper preparation before collagen stimulating injections is crucial for a safe treatment:
- Cease all supplements 1 week before your treatment (unless taking them for medical reasons)
- Avoid excessive alcohol within 24 hours of your treatment
- Avoid wearing makeup to your appointment
- Closely shave the treatment area where applicable the day before your treatment
After collagen stimulating injections, you can resume most activity immediately. Follow the treatment aftercare for swift healing and great results:
- Gently apply a wrapped ice pack to reduce discomfort and swelling
- Do not massage the treated area unless advised otherwise
- Avoid major dental treatment for 2 weeks (clarify with your dentist regarding suitability is you are unsure)
- Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours
After collagen stimulating injections, you may experience mild skin redness, tenderness and swelling. Bruising can also occur from time to time. These generally settle quickly over the first few days.
As the swelling subsides, you may notice a slight drop in the visible result over the first 6 weeks. This is normal.
As your body produces new collagen over 12 weeks, the result will return and improve.
Collagen stimulating injections have an excellent safety profile. They are biocompatible, and broken down naturally by the body.
Importantly, collagen stimulating injections are not reversible. It is vital that your injector has experienced in collagen stimulators.
