Restore natural volume with collagen stimulation injections
As you age, your skin naturally begins to lose collagen. (don’t worry, it happens to all of us post 30!) However, collagen loss can be accelerated by external factors, such as; sun exposure, excess sugar consumption, smoking & alcohol.
Collagen is the essential protein responsible for keeping our skin firm, smooth and ‘springy’. Collagen stimulation injections offer a regenerative approach to ageing by helping your body rebuild its own collagen over time, resulting in natural-looking volume and improved skin texture. This is why collagen stimulators are an ideal treatment if you’re looking for subtle results that get better over time.
Before & After Collagen Stimulation
What are collagen stimulation injections?
Collagen stimulation injections are a type of bio-stimulatory treatment that works beneath the surface of the skin to activate your body’s natural collagen production. Rather than adding instant volume like traditional dermal fillers, these injections provide a gradual, long-lasting improvement to the skin’s structure and appearance.
The treatment involves injecting a collagen stimulating product into your areas of concern (Usually the face). This triggers a controlled inflammatory response, stimulating fibroblast activity and encouraging new collagen synthesis over a period of weeks to months. Although you may have just hearing more about these treatments, Collagen stimulation injections have been around since the mid 1990’s.
Collagen stimulation injections were originally developed as a medical treatment to address facial lipoatrophy, particularly in individuals with HIV who experienced significant fat loss in the face. Clinicians needed a way to restore volume without relying solely on synthetic fillers, so bio-stimulatory agents were formulated to trigger the body’s own collagen production.
Over time, the regenerative effects of these injections have gained popularity in our industry for their ability to naturally improve skin structure, firmness, and volume without an ‘overdone’ appearance.
The benefits of collagen stimulation
The benefit of collagen stimulation injections lies in their subtlety and longevity. Our clients results include:
Gradual improvement in facial volume and contours (Over months)
Smoother, firmer skin texture
Reduction in fine lines and crepey skin
Long-lasting results that can persist for over 18 to 24 months
A more refreshed appearance without looking 'done'
This treatment is ideal for clients wanting a regenerative, rather than volumising, approach to facial rejuvenation. Areas we commonly treat at BYGOLDEN include cheeks, temples, lower face, and jawline.

What to expect during your treatment
Collagen stimulation injections are performed in-clinic by our advanced cosmetic clinicians. The procedure involves minimal downtime and is generally well tolerated with the application of topical numbing cream.
Over the following weeks & months, your skin will gradually begin to rebuild collagen in the treated areas. Results are typically seen after a few sessions, spaced several weeks apart, with continued improvement over time. Collagen stimulation treatment is a ‘longer game’ so be prepared to wait months for your desired result! If you’re looking for a quicker fix, you dermal fillers are a more suitable option.
Microneedling for collagen stimulation
Another powerful way to support collagen production is through microneedling. Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to your skin.
These micro-injuries stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin. At BYGOLDEN, microneedling is tailored to your individual skin needs and can treat a range of concerns including.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scarring and enlarged pores
Uneven texture and tone
Skin laxity
Microneedling is an excellent complementary treatment to collagen stimulation injections, enhancing skin texture, while supporting the body’s natural rejuvenation process. With this being said, microneedling is still a excellent stand-a-lone natural treatment options & recognised by a number of experts as the ‘Gold Standard’.
