Collagen Biostimulators

Dermal fillers and collagen biostimulators are both injectable treatments used in aesthetic medicine, but they function differently and are used for different purposes.

Dermal fillers are sterile injectable gels that add volume to the skin in specific areas. Collagen biostimulators are injectable products that are intended to interact with the skin tissue to support collagen production over time.

The onset and duration of effects vary between individuals. Dermal fillers generally produce a visible effect shortly after treatment, while collagen biostimulators may take several weeks for tissue responses to develop. The timing, number of treatments, and maintenance requirements differ depending on the product used, the areas treated, and individual responses.

A consultation with a qualified medical practitioner is required prior to treatment to assess suitability, review medical history, and discuss potential risks, limitations, and alternative options. Individual responses and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Collagen biostimulators are typically administered as a series of treatments, often spaced six to eight weeks apart. The product commonly contains Poly-L Lactic Acid and is injected into the targeted areas of the skin by a qualified medical practitioner.

The number of vials and the total number of treatments required is assessed on an individual basis during consultation. Factors such as age, skin condition, and treatment goals are considered when determining the appropriate approach. Individual responses to treatment, the timing of effects, and duration of response vary between clients and cannot be guaranteed.

As with all injectable procedures, the treatment results, and their subsequent longevity, varies between clients depending on age, and the number of vials of solution they opt to have administered throughout their treatment course.

Other factors that impact the results individuals may have with this treatment include previous and current sun exposure, daily skincare, and medical factors such as chronic illness, medications, and of course lifestyle factors including stress, daily water intake, sleep, smoking, alcohol consumption and ongoing sun exposure.

However, regardless of your life story, we have a wide spectrum of solutions on-hand at Eltham Cosmetic Clinic, and our staff can tailor a treatment plan for every single individual.

Your injecting nurse will explain in detail the massaging protocol that we require of all of our clients, following their collagen biostimulating treatment. We will demonstrate for you how to perform these massages, and need you to perform these yourself, five times per day, for the first five days after your visit with us.

This is an essential component of this type of treatment; as it ensures a smooth even distribution of the collagen stimulant throughout the skin, and prevents adverse outcomes.

After an initial series of treatments, some clients may choose to have follow-up sessions to maintain the effects. The number of vials required and the areas treated vary between individuals and are determined during consultation with a qualified medical practitioner.

Collagen biostimulators are used in multiple areas of the face, while dermal fillers are generally targeted to specific areas. The number of treatments and product required for each individual depends on factors such as the areas being treated, treatment goals, and individual response. Responses to treatment, duration of effect, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

In short, no. The results of this treatment vary between individuals. The treatment is designed to interact with the skin or tissue in the targeted area. Some clients may experience temporary swelling or bruising immediately after treatment.

Individual responses, changes in skin appearance, texture, or volume, and the extent or duration of effects cannot be guaranteed.
