collagen stimulators

Collagen stimulators are a firming treatment involving the injection of a material that stimulates the production of type I and type III collagen, the two most important types. The treatment restores firmness, elasticity and radiance to the skin, with results that last for extended periods.

What does treatment with collagen stimulators involve?

The doctor assesses the patient and defines the lifting lines where the collagen-stimulating material will be injected. It is usually administered using a very fine cannula, with local anaesthetic injected beforehand at the entry points. The doctor’s technique and experience are extremely important.

Treatment with collagen stimulators takes approximately 30 minutes. An immediate tightening effect can be seen, followed by progressive improvement lasting from 12 months to 2 years, depending on the type of stimulating material used and the condition of the skin.

When are collagen stimulators recommended?

They are recommended for patients aged 30 and over who want to address the signs of ageing effectively without uncomfortable or invasive treatments, while achieving genuine, natural-looking results.

Collagen stimulators are indicated in the following cases:

  • Firming the facial contour

Number of collagen stimulator sessions

  • Normally, 1 session can achieve visible, long-lasting results.
  • However, depending on the condition of the skin, up to 3 sessions may be recommended (1 session per month), particularly in cases of moderate skin laxity.

At Ribe Clinic in Barcelona, the medical specialist assesses each patient’s skin individually to determine the exact amount of product and the ideal treatment frequency for a natural, long-lasting tightening effect.

We also perform skin ultrasound scans with artificial intelligence assessment to measure the amount of collagen in the skin and its capacity to produce new collagen, allowing us to predict more accurately how many sessions the patient may need.

Aftercare following collagen stimulator injections

  • Massage the treated area when applying cream during the first 24 hours; continuing for up to 5 days is recommended.
  • If mild swelling or redness occurs, you can apply gentle local cooling or arnica cream.
  • Do not use make-up or irritating cosmetics on the day of treatment.
  • Keep the skin hydrated and protected with SPF 50 sunscreen.

Results of collagen stimulator treatment

The first collagen stimulator session produces an immediate tightening effect followed by progressive improvement lasting between 1 and 2 years, depending on the type of stimulator used and each person’s metabolism.

Frequently asked questions about collagen stimulators

Although the treatment is not entirely painless, local anaesthetic is injected at the predetermined entry points to minimise discomfort when the collagen stimulator is introduced.

Treatment of skin laxity with collagen stimulators is not usually painful.

The injections are performed using very fine cannulas or needles. For greater patient comfort, we also apply anaesthetic cream before the procedure or inject lidocaine at the entry point.

The most common sensation is mild pressure or stinging, which is generally well tolerated.

Collagen stimulator treatment can be performed at any time of year, as it is not photosensitising and does not require strict sun avoidance.

However, the following precautions are recommended:

  • Avoid intense or prolonged sun exposure during the first few days after treatment, although sun exposure is possible when SPF 50 sunscreen is used.
  • Use SPF 50 sunscreen and keep the skin well hydrated.

In summary: there is no contraindicated time of year, but medical assessment and appropriate aftercare are essential for optimising results and preventing irritation.

Collagen stimulators are safe and well tolerated when administered by a specialist doctor, as at Ribe Clinic. However, some mild and temporary side effects may occur, including:

  • Redness or swelling in the treated area.
  • Minor bruising or local tenderness.
  • Mild swelling during the first few hours or days.
  • In rare cases, nodules or irregularities may occur if the product is not distributed correctly; appropriate technique helps prevent this.

These effects usually disappear within a few days and do not prevent patients from continuing their normal routine.

Collagen stimulator treatment is safe, but there are certain contraindications in which it should not be administered or the session should be postponed.

These include:

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Active infections or wounds in the area to be treated.
  • Autoimmune conditions or inflammatory skin diseases, subject to medical assessment.
  • Allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the product’s components.
  • Recent treatment with other fillers or invasive procedures, which must be appropriately spaced according to medical criteria. In these cases, we perform an ultrasound scan with artificial intelligence assessment to detect the presence of other materials previously injected into the skin.
  • Blood-clotting disorders or the use of anticoagulants, which may increase the risk of bruising and require medical assessment.
