As you age, your skin naturally undergoes changes—from being young and having firm skin to showing fine lines and wrinkles. Modern advancements offer effective solutions to address these concerns.
One such solution is collagen-stimulating injections, a non-invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate and revitalise your skin. These injections work by stimulating collagen and elastin production—proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness—and target the common signs of ageing that many of us experience.
Curious to learn more? Discover how collagen-stimulating injections can transform your skin, covering everything from treatment areas and costs to the process, results, and safety.
Collagen-stimulating injections are versatile and can be used to treat various areas of the body, each with specific concerns. The main target areas include:
Face
These treatments help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and enhance skin firmness around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Neck
The injections can help improve skin texture and minimise the appearance of sagging skin.
Hands
Collagen-stimulating injections can help enhance skin firmness and appearance, addressing signs of ageing like wrinkles and age spots.
Below are the specific skin concerns addressed by collagen-stimulating injections:
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
The injections encourage collagen production, which helps even out wrinkles and fine lines.
Sagging Skin
By stimulating elastin production, the skin can become firmer and more elastic.
Dehydration
The treatment can boost skin hydration, resulting in a more youthful look.
The cost of collagen-stimulating injections depends on several factors, including:
| The extent of the treatment area: | Larger or multiple areas will increase the cost. For instance, treating the face alone will be less expensive than treating the face, neck, and hands. |
| Number of Sessions Required | More treatment sessions will lead to higher overall costs. Collagen-stimulating injections often require multiple sessions for full results. The number of sessions needed depends on your skin condition and desired outcomes. Generally, initial treatments may require two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with maintenance sessions needed to sustain results. |
| Type and Brand of Product Used | The brand can also influence the cost of the treatment. Different products may have different price points based on their formulation, effectiveness, and duration of results. |
