Collagen Stimulating Treatments
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is found in our joints, organs, muscles and ligaments. It is also the main protein in the skin. As we age we lose collagen at an alarming rate, which leads to skin laxity (sagging), fine lines, wrinkles and the more prominent appearance of pores.
There are several ways we can help stimulate more collagen, and there is a movement within the medical aesthetics field towards regenerative medicine. These are treatments that focus on signalling the skin to repair itself and produce new collagen and elastin fibres naturally.
HarmonyCa- is a hybrid injectable that combines Hyaluronic Acid (HA) with calcium hydroxyapatite to stimulate collagen production. The HA element provides some instant results, but the real magic happens after around 12 weeks as the collagen stimulating effects become noticeable. Two syringes are required and can be used over the cheekbones and jawline for a lifting and tightening effect.
SkinPen Microneedling- creates micro channels in the skin that stimulates the body’s natural wound healing process, which involves the production of new collagen and elastin. This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. It i
s an amazing treatment for a range of different skin concerns including scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.
A course of 3-6 sessions is recommended, depending on your skin concerns.
When used in conjunction with medical grade skincare and chemical peels, microneedling delivers truly amazing results.
