Medical Collagen
The treatment
Medical Collagen or Poly-L-Lactic Acid actives the skin’s natural regenerative process with collagen injections and help replenish lost collagen to gradually restore facial tissue over time.
This treatment is fast becoming the aesthetic industries go-to approach for natural and rejuvenating results. Poly-L-Lactic is delivered under the skin, and helps give back your youthful bounce.
Aftercare is of utmost importance and requires clients to massage the treatment area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days.
As we age, the natural collagen in our skin deteriorates, and increasing sun exposure might increase this process. The natural collagen in the skin can be replenished with collagen injections which make the skin look smoother and plumper. Clients can receive collagen injections to soften creases around the mouth, jawline and cheeks as well as hands to reduce the appearance of ageing.
Collagen injections can also be used to reduce the appearance of any facial heaviness, scarring and minimise unwanted deep creases. Medical collagen injections are not an instant results, and take approximately 4 weeks to start seeing results, these results are gradual. Clients continue seeing results up to 12 weeks and onwards.

Cheeks
Are you looking for a cheek enhancement but tired of the puffy filler look? Medical collagen can be placed deep and superficial in the cheek area allowing your collagen network to start rebuilding and supporting these layers. Great for accordion lines and cheek lines that are created when smiling and squinting.
Temples
A safer alternative to filler, medical collagen can alleviate the hollowness of the temples and the sharpness of the forehead/brow bone. Complete your aesthetic look with support to the temples, and the results will be a softer and more subtle approach to total face rejuvenation.
Jawline
As we age, our jawline recedes, leaving heavy jowls, a loss of jaw acuity and sagging skin. Re-create your jawline with medical collagen treatments that not only address the jawline but also treat the saggy skin. This treatment will leave you feeling tighter and more defined.
Smile lines
Smile lines are tricky to treat. The more treatment modalities you do the better the results - unfortunately not one singular treatment will fix them. Medical collagen injections are another treatment you can utilise that can help with this area. Small injections of collagen are placed higher in the skin allowing your collagen network to start rebuilding.
Hands
A fabulous quick and easy treatment that will continue to rejuvenate your hands for weeks to come. This area is relatively painless. It can help improve the skin laxity, the hollowness of the knuckles and veins.
Body
Treat anywhere and everywhere with medical collagen injections. From sagging skin on the elbows and knees, to post pregnant belly and lax neck skin. Several treatments will be required, but a great alternative for people who are not keen on surgery. Great for a precursor to surgery – securing stronger skin for recovery.
