Collagen Stimulants
Collagen stimulant treatments such are designed to improve skin firmness, fill wrinkles, and add subtle volume to areas such as the cheeks and hands. With extensive experience and advanced techniques, we personalize each treatment to suit your unique needs—ensuring safe, effective, and naturally balanced results.
The Facts
As we age, collagen and elastin production naturally decreases, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and volume loss. Fillers are used to revitalize your skin by encouraging your body’s own collagen and elastin production. This approach not only fills wrinkles and enhances contours but also improves overall skin texture, contributing to a refreshed and youthful appearance.

This material is a biocompatible, biodegradable dermal filler used primarily for facial volume restoration and wrinkle reduction. CaHA is a naturally occurring substance in human bones and teeth, making it well-tolerated by the body.

MODE OF ACTION OF COLLAGEN STIMULANTS
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers work by triggering the skin’s natural regenerative processes. The active ingredients promote collagen and elastin synthesis, which gradually restores volume and improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic substance.
Over time, this natural boost in collagen not only provides immediate aesthetic improvements but also supports long-term skin health.
What should I consider before the procedure?
A successful CaHA treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and facial analysis. During this session, we evaluate your skin’s condition and discuss your aesthetic goals. Understanding your unique facial structure is essential to determine the optimal injection sites and to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. This personalized approach ensures that the enhancements blend naturally with your overall appearance.

What should I consider after the procedure?
The use of a cannula for injecting CaHA fillers offers a minimally invasive technique that provides significant advantages in terms of safety. This approach helps protect critical subdermal structures, including nerves and blood vessels, reducing the risk of complications. By utilizing a cannula, the likelihood of accidental product injection into the vascular system is minimized, thereby decreasing the chances of adverse effects such as thrombosis.
This procedure is designed to be comfortable, with most patients experiencing only minor discomfort. Although some may notice a slight swelling or small bruises at the injection sites, these effects typically subside within a few days. Initial improvements are evident immediately, with the full benefits emerging over time as the treatment stimulates collagen production. Follow-up sessions are available as needed to maintain the rejuvenated appearance.
