Collagen bio-stimulators

Collagen is a foundational protein naturally produced by the human body, playing a pivotal role in maintaining the skin's structure and elasticity.

As we age, our collagen production diminishes, with an estimated decline of about 1% each year. This reduced collagen production can lead to visible signs of ageing like thinner skin, wrinkles and volume loss.

By stimulating collagen production, collagen bio-stimulators gradually work to restore the skin’s structure, replace lost volume, restore skin firmness, and tighten the skin.

Collagen bio-stimulators differ from traditional anti-wrinkle or dermal filler treatments. Instead of relaxing or filling wrinkles, collagen bio-stimulators stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which decreases as we age.

At Derm Haus Brisbane, we offer two collagen bio-stimulator products:

• One is made of polycaprolactone microspheres, which allows for bio-stimulation of collagen as well as stable volume restoration, and

• The other is crafted from Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) which is able to target restoration of the skins extra cellular matrix by the way of collagen stimulation.

When injected into the skin, collagen bio-stimulators encourage a dynamic, multilevel skin remodelling and effectively promotes the production of youthful proteins.

Due to legislation and regulations governing the advertising of these medications, we cannot promote the brand names of the products used.

The appeal of collagen bio-stimulators lies in its ability to provide a gradual, natural enhancement, making them perfect for individuals desiring subtle, continuous rejuvenation.
