Collagen Stimulating Injections – Collagen stimulators are made from micro particles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA).
When injected into the skin, they trigger the body to produce more collagen.
Unlike dermal fillers – the Collagen Stimulating Injections results are not instant.
Texture and tone of the treated area is improved over time, working to improve the area over 6 months, with results lasting for a few years.
Perfect for larger areas of the body; collagen stimulators are a popular choice to address crepey areas of skin on the neck or décolletage, sagging skin on the body and to smooth out stretch marks.
Collagen stimulators can also be used in larger volumes for body sculpting, to smooth and plump the areas of the body that you want to be round!
Body contouring can help to improve the contour of areas such as breasts and buttocks to treat dimples, cellulite and hip dips, and to achieve a smoother appearance to the skin of the body.
Collagen stimulating injections can be used all over the face, neck and body to restore the collagen lost with time resulting in more fullness and tightness of the skin.
The most common facial areas to treat are the cheek, the nasolabial folds, the jowls and the temple area.
Most people require 2-5 treatments, depending on area and desired result.
Treatments are best spaced 4-6 weeks apart for a complete response.
Results are visible at 4-6 weeks with full results showing at 3-6 months after treatment.
Results will differ for each person. For most patients, the treatment results last up to 2 years. A yearly maintenance treatment is recommended to maintain the desired result.
Collagen stimulators have been in Australia since 2002 and have a long, proven safety record. However, with any medical procedure there are always risks involved and your Registered Nurse will discuss all risks and contraindications prior to performing any procedure. Side effects are generally rare, mild & short lived. You may experience swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising to the treated area
