COLLAGEN STIMULATOR
Treatments
Collagen Stimulator
Collagen stimulator is comprised of Calcium microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. The calcium microspheres are similar to minerals found naturally in the body so allergy testing is not required. Over time, the body absorbs the microspheres and gel, leaving behind only natural collagen for a more refreshed appearance.
Once injected, Collagen Stimulator provides an immediate but temporary correction of moderate lines and volume loss. Over the following 4-6 months the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the calcium microspheres, leaving behind only your own natural collagen for a long-lasting effect. The process of collagen stimulation can take up to 12 months to occur and multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. Collagen stimulators are an excellent treatment for cheeks, jawline, temples, hands, crepiness on the neck or arms and patients with severe volume loss. Collagen stimulators are not suitable for treatment of lips, perioral volume deficit, glabella or forehead.

Collagen Stimulator injections are performed in chair and take 30minutes or less. Depending on the treatment area our nurse may apply a topical local anaesthetic to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. A tiny needle or cannula will be used to inject the collagen stimulator into the target areas. The exact volume injected depends on the depth of the volume deficit, amount of change desired, skin type, and other factors.
-
You can see results from collagen stimulator treatments after your first treatment, but the results improve over time. The results are usually most noticeable after 6–12 weeks.

After collagen stimulator it is best not to unnecessarily touch or massage the treated area for a few days, though normal make-up routines may be adhered to. It is also advised to avoid unnecessary exposure to heat, cold, and sun for up to two weeks following your injections.
Avoid anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medications for at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment if possible. Medications and supplements like aspirin, vitamin E, green tea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil, Ibuprofen, and NSAIDs can thin the blood, increasing the risk of bruising and swelling following anti-aging injections.
For the first 24 hours after your treatment, refrain from rubbing or massaging the injected area. It's also essential to avoid direct pressure on the area, such as sleeping on your face, face-down massages, extreme temperature changes, intense exercise, prolonged sun exposure, or excessive alcohol consumption during this time.Description text goes here
