As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen, leading to common concerns such as sagging skin, reduced elasticity, and less defined facial contours. While ageing is natural, many individuals are exploring minimally invasive treatments that aim to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production — offering a refreshed and natural appearance over time.

Collagen and Skin Rejuvenation

One category of treatments focuses on the use of injectables that stimulate the body's natural collagen production. These treatments are typically administered through a series of sessions spaced over a few months and aim to restore facial volume gradually. Compared to traditional dermal fillers, these injectables may offer longer-lasting and subtler results for suitable candidates.

A clinical review has observed that outcomes from such injectables can remain visible for over a year, depending on individual response, skin condition, and adherence to follow-up care.

Combining Techniques for Subtle Lifting

In some clinical settings, collagen-stimulating injectables may be paired with non-surgical thread lift procedures. These procedures involve the insertion of fine threads beneath the skin, designed to provide a gentle lift and support tissue structure. When performed under appropriate clinical conditions, these techniques may contribute to improved firmness and definition over time.

As with all medical treatments, results vary based on age, skin type, and other health factors. Any treatment for facial contouring or rejuvenation should begin with a consultation with a licensed medical practitioner to assess suitability and tailor a treatment plan.

Safe, Individualised Care

Treatment outcomes depend on many factors including individual skin condition, age, and the specific protocol selected. It’s important to consult with a qualified medical practitioner who is experienced in aesthetic procedures and familiar with the safe use of collagen-stimulating injectables.
