As patients reach the age of 30, they begin to experience a reduction in their natural collagen production. Collagen is a protein that naturally occurs in the body and is the reason for youthful, supple skin. However, with the signs of aging, collagen is lost from the body. This results in increased skin laxity and the fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging skin. Patients who want to “age gracefully” can consider the benefits of injectables such as collagen stimulators.
Collagen stimulators are used to promote the production of collagen naturally in the body, which in turn improves the skin’s tone and texture. This provides a more youthful appearance.
Still wondering whether Radiesse, Sculptra, or a customized plan of collagen stimulators and injectables is right for your skin and goals?
The most reliable way to decide is through a personal consultation with the experienced team at Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine in Chagrin Falls.
At Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine, we provide two popular collagen stimulators: Radiesse and Sculptra.
Radiesse
Radiesse is both a filler and a collagen stimulator. It provides immediate and long-term results as collagen production is improved. Patients enjoy the results of one injection for approximately one year after their initial treatment. The duration of results varies by product, treatment area, and individual response. Maintenance injections are encouraged for long-term reduction of the signs of aging.
Sculptra
Sculptra is specifically used for collagen stimulation, and it can take some time to show optimum results. Patients must also visit their dermatologist for approximately three to four injections over the course of several months, but will notice improvement even after 25 months from the final injection. Results develop gradually over time and may be long-lasting, depending on the treatment plan and individual response.
Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine also offers a wide variety of neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport and dermal fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane Lyft. Many of these can be used in conjunction for optimum results. A consultation visit with our team can help patients determine the best combination of treatments to provide the expected results. Collagen stimulators may be a good option for patients seeking gradual, longer-lasting facial rejuvenation, and is often suggested for patients who want to enjoy less injections over the course of time.
