Book a Consultation Call the ClinicCollagen stimulators work differently from dermal fillers. Rather than adding instant volume, they prompt the skin to produce new collagen, gradually improving firmness, texture and the support of the face.
What Are Collagen Stimulators?
From our mid-twenties, the skin makes less collagen each year. Collagen stimulators, also called biostimulators, are injectable medical products placed under the skin to trigger the body’s own repair processes, so that new collagen forms over the following weeks and months.
Because the change comes from your own tissue, results appear gradually and look natural. Collagen stimulators are often chosen by patients who want firmer, better-quality skin without the look of added volume, and they can be combined with other treatments in one plan.
The Collagen Stimulators We Use
Sculptra
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), the established collagen stimulator. Used to restore gradual structure and firmness where the face has lost support with age, usually as a course of treatments.
Juläine
A newer-generation poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator from Nordberg Medical, made with small, uniform particles. Used to improve firmness and skin quality, usually as a short course of treatments.
Hydro Deluxe
By Neauvia: non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid with calcium hydroxylapatite and the amino acids glycine and L-proline. Combines hydration with collagen stimulation for the face and neck.
Which is right for me?
We treat the face, neck, décolleté and hands. The choice of product depends on your skin, the area and your goals. Your doctor will recommend the product, the number of sessions and the timing at your consultation.
What Can Collagen Stimulators Help With?
- Loss of firmness and early skin laxity in the face
- Thinning, crepey skin and loss of skin quality
- Hollowing and loss of support in the mid and lower face
- Crepey skin and loss of quality on the neck, décolleté and backs of the hands
- Patients who prefer gradual change over instant volume
Results vary and collagen stimulators are not suitable for every concern. Significant sagging may be better treated in other ways.
Collagen Stimulators or Dermal Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume straight away to a specific area, such as the lips or cheeks. Collagen stimulators work more slowly and more widely, improving the skin’s own structure and quality over time. Some patients benefit from both, planned in the right order. See also our dermal fillers, polynucleotides and exosome treatments.
Your Consultation and Treatment
Your doctor will review your medical history, previous treatments, medications and goals, examine the areas of concern and explain which product, if any, is suitable. If you decide to proceed, the skin is cleansed and a numbing product may be used for comfort.
A course of treatments
Most patients need a short course, typically two to three sessions several weeks apart. Your doctor will plan the number of sessions with you.
When results appear
Collagen builds gradually. Improvement usually becomes visible over the weeks after treatment and continues to develop over several months.
How long results last
Results are longer lasting than many fillers, but duration varies by product and individual. Maintenance sessions may be recommended.
Aftercare
Aftercare depends on the product. For some, such as Sculptra, massaging the area for several days may be advised. You will receive clear instructions.
Safety and Side Effects
All injectable treatments carry risks. Common temporary effects include swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising at the injection sites. Less commonly, small lumps or nodules can form under the skin, and infection or inflammatory reactions can occur. Rare but serious complications include blockage of a blood vessel.
Seek urgent medical assessment immediately if you develop severe or increasing pain, pale or mottled skin or any change in vision after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Sculptra and Juläine?
Both are poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulators. Juläine is a newer-generation product made with small, uniform particles. Your doctor will advise which suits you.
Will I see results straight away?
Not fully. Some fullness from the injection settles within days; the real result comes from new collagen, which builds over the following weeks and months.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients have a course of two to three sessions several weeks apart, but this depends on the product, the area and your skin.
Does it hurt?
You may feel pressure or stinging during injection. A numbing product can be used, and some products contain local anaesthetic.
Can I combine collagen stimulators with other treatments?
Yes. They are often combined with skin boosters, polynucleotides or fillers, planned in the right order. Your doctor will build a plan with you.
