Around the age of 20 years old we start to lose our collagen and elastin at a rate of about 1% per year.  By the time we are in our 40’s we have lost approximately 25%.  This presents as saggy or skin that can be pulled away from the face when we pinch it.  By stimulating long term collagen production with a biocompatible synthetic product we can restore some of the skins quality and  lost facial volume caused by aging, weight loss or illness.

Activating the fibroblast cell within the face (collagen & elastin making cell) allows a firmness to return to the skin without giving a puffy look.

The frame of the face is treated from the temple to the chin.  The mouth areas and eye area are excluded.  Generally speaking 2-3 sessions over several months is required depending on the amount of collagen loss with a once a year treatment for maintenance.

As the collagen formation takes several weeks to occur , the effects are not immediate.  Improvements to skin texture and natural volume occur over several weeks.

You will need to massage the treated areas for 5 minutes a day for 5 x per day for 5 days

Consultations are always required prior to any treatments.  Can be coupled with wrinkle reduction or LED treatments in the same appointment.  Risks and side effects are always discussed prior to any treatment and there is never an obligation to progress to treatment.
