Collagen Stimulating Injections are a form of bio-stimulator - meaning that they stimulate the body’s natural processes to enhance the appearance of the skin. These stimulators work by activating the body’s natural collagen production, which is responsible for keeping the skin firm, elastic and youthful-looking. They can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, as well as improve skin texture and tone.
The effects of bio-stimulators take a few months to begin to manifest, as natural collagen production is a gradual process. This results in a very natural look that gradually occurs over time. Most clients require 2 to 3 sessions, approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart to see best results, that last at least 2 years. Unlike dermal fillers that target specific areas, bio-stimulators are a full face rejuvenation treatment; meaning they are administered over multiple areas of the face, where fine lines, wrinkles and signs of aging are evident, to increase overall collagen and restore a more youthful appearance.
