Collagen Stimulating Injections

Collagen stimulating injections, or biostimulators, work by stimulating the build-up of the body’s natural collagen and elastin to help smooth out lines and wrinkles. They also help to restore lost facial volume to give you a fuller, younger-looking face.

The treatment is long lasting and looks completely natural. With collagen stimulating injections, it is possible to restore facial contours and eliminate lines, wrinkles and sunken cheeks without resorting to face lifts or cosmetic surgery.

Collagen stimulating injections are injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss and provide a gradual increase in volume. It will not correct the underlying cause of the facial fat loss, but will help improve the appearance by increasing skin thickness in the treated area.

We tend to utilise these injections when there is ‘global’ volume loss i.e. very significant overall loss of facial volume and skin thinning. This can be seen with advanced ageing, significant sun damage, after significant illness, with chronic disease, and after chemotherapy for example. Common areas treated in this way include facial volume restoration, hollow temples, and rejuvenation of hands, elbows, and knees.
