Collagen Stimulating
How collagen stimulation produces natural results?
Collagen Stimulating
Collagen stimulating provides an answer to the signs of ageing in a gradual and noticeable way. If you are over 35 and have concerns about lost volume, collagen production, and mild, moderate, or deep facial lines, this treatment could be the solution.
As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, resulting in up to a 20% loss of collagen by the age of 40¹. We encourage you to schedule a collagen stimulating consultation if you are concerned about this, so that a clinician can give you comprehensive information about this treatment.

Which areas of the face can be treated with collagen stimulators?
Collagen stimulating can be used to treat a wide number of areas of concern on the face including the temple and cheek, as well as treating nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and skin texture concerns.
Aftercare for Collagen stimulating

TGA Guidelines
Following the new guidelines from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Cityskin can no longer mention terms like “anti-wrinkle injections” and “dermal fillers”. This will include mentions to prescription medicines (products) used for treatment of wrinkles or concerns about the shape or volume of facial features.
Instead, here is how we can communicate:
Our expert practitioners can provide consultations about:
- Reducing the appearance of wrinkles
- Increasing the appearance of lip volume
- Improving the skin texture and tone
We’re making these changes for your wellbeing and offering free expert consultations with our practitioners so you can make an informed decision.
