Over time, it is common to notice changes in skin firmness, fine lines and surface texture. For suitable individuals, non-surgical, collagen-stimulating treatments may be used to help improve the visible appearance of fine lines and texture.

Collagen Stimulation

What it may help with

For suitable individuals, collagen-stimulating treatments may be used with the intention of improving the appearance of:

  • Fine lines and early, mild laxity

  • Uneven or coarse skin texture

Any change in appearance, and how noticeable it is, differs from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.

How it works

After taking a medical history and examining your skin, a practitioner may discuss non-surgical options that aim to support your skin’s own repair processes. Depending on suitability, these may include treatments designed to:

  • Deliver controlled stimulus to the deeper layers of the skin

  • Prompt fibroblasts (cells involved in collagen production) to remodel supporting structures over time

The type of treatment, the areas treated, the number of sessions and the expected course are tailored to the individual and will be explained during your consultation.

Evidence and responses vary, and no particular outcome or timeframe can be promised in advance.

Next steps

A consultation with a suitably qualified practitioner is required to determine whether collagen-stimulating treatments are appropriate for you. At this appointment, they will typically:

  • Take a medical history and assess your skin

  • Discuss your concerns, goals and expectations

  • Explain possible treatment options, including the option of no treatment, along with potential risks, limitations and costs

Safety & aftercare

All medical and cosmetic procedures carry risks. Before any treatment, your practitioner will:

  • Explain the proposed procedure(s), potential benefits, limitations and alternatives (including doing nothing)

  • Discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications

  • Provide written aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment plan

  • Collagen stimulation refers to non-surgical treatments that aim to improve the appearance of the skin by activating the body’s own repair processes in suitable individuals. These treatments do not replace medical management where that is required.

  • Depending on the treatment, controlled energy or biostimulatory products are used to create a targeted response in the deeper layers of the skin. This can prompt fibroblasts to remodel collagen over time. Your practitioner will explain the proposed mechanism and what it may mean for your specific situation.

  • Comfort levels vary between people and between procedures. Some treatments may involve a feeling of warmth, tingling, pressure or brief discomfort. Numbing cream, cooling or other comfort measures may be used where appropriate, and your practitioner will discuss options with you beforehand.

  • The number of sessions depends on your skin, the treatment selected and your response. Many plans involve a series of appointments spaced several weeks apart, followed by review. Specific outcomes or an exact number of sessions cannot be promised in advance.

  • Some people notice gradual changes over the months following treatment as the skin remodels. The timing and degree of visible change differ from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. Your practitioner will discuss what may be realistic for you.

  • Certain collagen-stimulating treatments may help improve the appearance of fine lines for some individuals. The extent of change depends on factors such as skin type, treatment choice and lifestyle, and no specific result can be assured.

  • Downtime varies with the type and intensity of treatment. Some procedures involve only temporary redness or mild swelling, while others may require a longer recovery period. Your practitioner will advise what to expect before you decide whether to proceed.

  • In some cases, collagen-stimulating treatments may be combined with other therapies, such as LED, as part of a broader plan. Any combination approach must be individually assessed and timed by your practitioner to help support safety and recovery.

  • All procedures carry risks. Common effects may include temporary redness, swelling, warmth or tenderness. Less common risks can include pigment changes, prolonged irritation, infection or scarring. Your practitioner will explain potential risks and how they relate to your medical history and skin type.

  • Any improvement in appearance and how long it may last depends on multiple factors, including your skin, treatment type, age, lifestyle and sun exposure. Your practitioner may discuss maintenance or review treatments at intervals if appropriate, but no specific duration can be guaranteed.
