Collagen Stimulators
Collagen stimulators are advanced injectable treatments designed to naturally restore lost collagen, a key protein responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. Over time, our body produces less collagen, leading to sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Collagen stimulators, administered by Dr. Desmond Chin at Self Aesthetics, work by encouraging the body to gradually rebuild collagen, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance over time. This non-surgical option provides long-lasting, natural results.

How Many Sessions Do You Need?
Collagen stimulators typically require 2 to 3 sessions spaced over several months for optimal results. The effects develop gradually as the body builds new collagen. Maintenance treatments may be needed every 12 to 24 months.
How Long is the Downtime?
There is minimal downtime with collagen stimulators. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, but these typically subside within 1 to 3 days. Normal activities can usually be resumed immediately.
