F A Q

What Does the Treatment Involve?

Before beginning any collagen-stimulating treatment, you’ll have a comprehensive consultation and treatment planning session with your nurse. This is an opportunity to discuss your suitability for the treatment and clarify your expectations. Clinical photography and a detailed skin assessment will also be conducted to create a tailored approach.

It’s important to understand that collagen stimulators work gradually, with the results developing over about three months. For optimal outcomes, multiple sessions are usually recommended at the start. This treatment is ideal for those seeking subtle, natural rejuvenation, as it does not produce the immediate “filling” effect that traditional dermal fillers offer.

During the procedure, a collagen-stimulating solution is injected into the targeted areas using either a needle or a blunt micro-cannula. Typically, 2–3 vials are used for the initial treatment, and a topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort.

You’ll notice an immediate improvement in facial appearance from the volume of the injected solution, which gives a preview of the final results. This initial effect will settle as the water in the solution is absorbed within a few hours to days. Following injection, a natural tissue response is activated, promoting collagen production for lasting skin rejuvenation.

After the treatment, your nurse will massage the area to ensure even distribution. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their usual activities shortly afterward.

When Can You See Result?

After the initial visible effect, which gradually subsides, collagen production begins, typically taking 8 to 12 weeks. You’ll start noticing results around this time, with the full effects becoming most visible after 6 to 8 months. The outcome is a gradual and natural-looking enhancement.

During your consultation, your nurse will assess how many treatments you may need, often recommending 2–3 sessions for optimal results. After completing the initial treatment course, many patients find they only need one maintenance session every 2–3 years.

The exact number of treatments depends on factors such as age, degree of volume loss, and desired results. A typical treatment plan may look like this:

• First treatment: 2 to 3 vials of collagen stimulator

• Second treatment: 6 weeks later, with 2 vials of collagen stimulator

• Third treatment: Another 6 weeks after the second, often 1 vial (for more significant volume loss)

Completing the full treatment course generally provides results that last 24 to 36 months, with a maintenance session around two years after the initial treatment (usually 1–2 vials) to sustain the benefits.

What to Expect After Your Treatment?

Proper aftercare is essential following collagen stimulator treatments, as it helps ensure the best possible results.

Right after your treatment, you may experience some general tenderness and mild discomfort.

Applying a cool compress and taking paracetamol can help ease this. Bruising is common with injectable treatments and can be minimised by avoiding alcohol and blood-thinning medications.

These guidelines will be covered in detail during your initial consultation. Additionally, it’s advised to avoid sun exposure, heat-inducing activities, and makeup for the first 24 hours.

One of the most important steps in your aftercare is facial massage. To promote even distribution and reduce potential side effects, you’ll need to gently but firmly massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days following the procedure.

Comprehensive aftercare instructions will be provided to you after your treatment.

What are the Risks?

Collagen stimulators have been used safely in Australia since 2002, with a long-standing record of efficacy. Like all cosmetic injectables, they come with some expected side effects, including localised swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising, which typically resolve on their own and do not impact the final results.

Rare complications include the possibility of lumpiness or nodule formation, often due to insufficient massage during the week following treatment, as well as granuloma formation, infection, or accidental injection into blood vessels, which could lead to tissue damage.

Collagen stimulators, like other dermal fillers, are not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those who have used Roaccutane in the last three months, or individuals with a history of autoimmune diseases or severe allergies. No allergy testing is needed before treatment.

All potential risks and contraindications will be thoroughly reviewed with you prior to the procedure.
