Collagen Biostimulators

They're a category of doctor-administered injectable treatments that work by gradually encouraging your skin's own collagen production, rather than adding facial volume. We offer Radiesse for this purpose; your doctor will confirm which product and dilution suits your skin.

The product itself can also be used as a structural filler, but the treatment described here uses a hyperdiluted technique specifically for skin quality and firmness, not added volume. Volume loss is treated as a separate, distinct goal.

Most patients describe entry-point stinging, pressure or tenderness rather than significant pain. Anaesthesia can improve comfort, but no treatment is guaranteed painless.

Mild swelling is generally expected to ease within about 6-24 hours as a clinic estimate, though swelling, tenderness or bruising can last several days or longer depending on the individual.

Published facial protocols include two- and three-session courses, with your doctor selecting the interval and reviewing your response before any further treatment.

Collagen-related changes develop over weeks and months. Early fullness can reflect injected fluid and swelling rather than new collagen, so results are best judged across the full course.

Yes, in selected patients. Each product's own combination guidance is set out below, and your doctor will plan safe sequencing and timing.
