Your Ultimate Guide to Collagen Stimulating, Volume Restoration & Facial Rejuvenation
The natural ageing process effects more than just fine lines. Over time, you may notice changes in skin texture, elasticity, and facial volume. Modern, non-surgical treatments now make it possible to address these concerns with subtlety and precision.
At Privée Clinic, we use evidence-based approaches to support collagen and elastin stimulation, restore volume, and improve overall skin quality, helping you maintain a refreshed, healthy appearance.
What Is Collagen Stimulating Treatment?
Collagen is the protein that gives skin flexibility and firmness; however, its production decreases with age, leading to visible changes in tone and texture. Collagen stimulating treatments work by encouraging your body’s natural collagen production. Instead of simply adding volume, these treatments encourage your skin’s own collagen-production cells (fibroblasts) leading to gradual, and long-lasting improvement in firmness and elasticity.
How Do Collagen Stimulating Treatments Differ from Traditional Fillers?
The main difference lies in how they function within the skin.Traditional fillers provide instant volume by adding traditional dermal fillers beneath the skin. Collagen stimulating treatments on the other hand, work gradually by promoting your body’s own collagen and elastin production over time.
The outcome is a natural, progressive improvement in skin structure, ideal for those seeking subtle, long-term rejuvenation rather than immediate fullness.
What Areas Can Benefit from Skin Volume Restoration?
Loss of facial volume is a common sign of ageing, often visible around the cheeks, jawline, temples, and chin. Skin volume restoration is designed to rebuild support in these areas, refining facial contours and restoring balance. At Privée Clinic, we tailor our approach to each client, considering the entire face, and the area of concern, such as, cheeks, jawline, temples, neck, to achieve harmonious, refreshed appearance.
Why Consider a Facial Lifting or Skin Tightening Treatment?
As collagen and elastin decline, the skin can appear less firm and defined. Energy based treatments, such as radiofrequency (RF) skin resurfacing, help to remodel the deeper layers of the skin by delivering controlled heat that stimulates collagen production. This process gradually improves skin texture, tightness, and luminosity. Mild redness or swelling may occur for a few days post treatment, but these effects are temporary and part of the skin’s natural healing response.
How Long Do Results Last with Collagen Stimulating Treatments?
A significant advantage of collagen stimulating is staying power. Because your body continues to make new collagen, results can last for several months to years, depending on the treatment type and individual factors. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to optimise your skin appearance over time.
What Can You Expect During a Facial Lifting Treatment?
During a facial lifting treatment (skin resurfacing), controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered into the skin, so you may feel a warmth or a mild prickling sensation as the device passes over the skin. Temporary redness and swelling are expected for one to three days, similar to a light sunburn. No active skincare should be used for around 3-5 days (discuss further with your practitioner). Makeup is not recommended for a few days; if necessary, choose mineral or hypoallergenic products As healing progresses, the skin becomes, more even, and visibly rejuvenated.
Is There a Difference Between Volume Restoration and Facial Rejuvenation?
Volume restoration focuses on replacing lost structure, while facial rejuvenation takes a broader approach. Combining techniques that address tone, elasticity, and texture for a complete refresh. At Privée Clinic, rejuvenation may include a combination of collagen stimulation, skin tightening, and resurfacing therapies, ensuring that all aspects of the ageing process are addressed holistically for balanced, natural looking results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Collagen Stimulating Treatments?
Collagen stimulating is ideal for adults who want gradual, natural-looking improvements in skin firmness, texture, and elasticity. They are especially popular for those who want longer-lasting results or who prefer subtle progressive enhancement. Your practitioner will review your goals, medical history and skin condition to create a plan tailored to your needs.
How Can You Maintain Your Results?
After collagen stimulating, or skin rejuvenating treatment, ongoing care is key to maintain your results. Follow-up visits allow your practitioner to monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments. Combining in-clinic treatments with a consistent skincare routine, supports lasting improvements and helps maintain a vibrant complexion.If you’re interested in exploring what’s possible with facial rejuvenation Paddington, Privée Clinic offers personalised guidance and a full range of advanced treatments.
