Restore Your Youthful Glow:
Introducing Collagen Stimulators
Collagen is one of the most important proteins in our body. Its function is like glue that keeps our tissues bonding. Collagen has a role to provide strength and elasticity in our skin. But alas, collagen production starts to decrease as we age. The most common symptoms you can notice when your collagen level is decreasing are wrinkles and sagging skin, as well as volume loss around your eyes, cheeks, temples, and smile lines.
But thanks to anti-aging technology, we can restore our youthful appearance with a skin rejuvenation treatment, such as laser or skin boosters. However, laser or skin boosters treatment can only improve your skin quality. To rejuvenate the volume loss, dermal fillers need to be done. If you are looking for a treatment that can do both, an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment called collagen stimulators is perfect for you.

Advanced Skin Rejuvenation
What are Collagen Stimulators?
Collagen stimulators or referred to as bio stimulators are non-invasive collagen stimulation treatments that can help to restore your facial contours and youthful skin using your own collagen by activating them to regrow. Collagen stimulators can stimulate collagen synthesis naturally.
Collagen stimulators are the leading edge of dermal fillers. These treatments are considered as a combination of dermal fillers and skin boosters. Collagen stimulators provide benefits to restore facial volume like in dermal fillers and stimulating collagen production like in skin boosters. Your skin will improve in both a restored facial volume as well as a better skin quality.
How Do Collagen Stimulators Work?
It is common knowledge that we lose collagen as we age, especially after 20. Collagen is responsible for skin structure and elasticity. Losing collagen can make our skin become thinner and sagging. Fine lines and wrinkles will be easily formed. In other facial areas, such as the temples, cheek, and smile lines, you can start to lose volume. To reverse those signs of aging, collagen production needs to be boosted. Some collagen regeneration techniques can help to reverse those aging signs, such as lasers, skin boosters, and skin resurfacing treatments. However, they cannot restore volume loss. Collagen stimulators work by activating the skin's ability to produce more collagen. Increasing collagen levels can restore your skin's elasticity as well as facial volume.
One of the best collagen boosting ingredients is Poly-L-Lactic Acid, which becomes the main component of collagen stimulators. Similar to dermal fillers, the collagen stimulator substance is injected into the skin. However, there is no filling effect immediately like a dermal filler. The skin will gradually rebuild collagen, and restore volume loss and youthful-looking skin.
What Can I Expect After Having Collagen Stimulators?
The majority of patients can continue their activity after the treatment. The downtime is usually minimal. Bruises and redness are common side effects that will subside within a few days. Remember that the results are not instant and may take a few months for the full effects. However, you will notice that your skin is gradually improving as the new collagen is formed. Most patients can see visible changes in eight weeks after the treatment.

Collagen Stimulators Post Care
Bruising and swelling might happen after the treatment. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, spicy food, and hot beverages for 24 hours as these can make bruising and swelling worse. To top your collagen-stimulating effect, drink plenty of water 2-3 days after the treatment. Avoid too much sun exposure as well as exercise for 24 hours. During the first 5 days after the treatment, you need to massage the treated area 5 times a day for 5 minutes. Further post-care will be explained by our doctor after the treatment.
Collagen Stimulators vs Dermal Fillers
Compared to dermal fillers, collagen stimulators provide a longer-lasting result. The substance that is injected is also different. Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, while collagen stimulators use Poly-L-Lactic Acid. Immediately after filler treatments, you can see the volume loss is restored. On the other hand, it may take a few months to see the collagen stimulator's effect. However, they can provide a result as great as having a dermal filler injection, only in a natural way.
Ellansé Collagen Stimulator
Ellansé collagen stimulator combines Poly-Caprolactone (PCL) microspheres and is carried in a gel made of Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Similar to other collagen stimulators, Ellansé treatment is effective to stimulate collagen production naturally. What makes it different from PLLA collagen stimulator is the gel carrier, CMC. This cellulose creates an instant lifting and volumizing effect after the treatment. While the CMC gradually degrades over time, the PCL maintains the results by boosting collagen production that can last for 2-4 years. This collagen booster treatment is ideal for temple, cheek, nasolabial folds, jawline, chin, marionette lines, and malar augmentation.
