Collagen Stimulation Therapy Northern Virginia

As we age, collagen production decreases which leads to wrinkles, folds, and loose skin. And sure, there are great treatments for those concerns. But what if you could prevent the signs of aging before they even started? Biostimulation, or collagen stimulation therapy, is an anti-aging treatment that uses your body’s own collagen to prevent the signs of aging.

Key Points

Biostimulation is a term that refers to the stimulation of cells responsible for collagen production. It’s also commonly known as collagen stimulation therapy.

There are several types of collagen stimulating injectables. These provide low levels of biostimulation to help reduce future aging.

Essentially, anyone can benefit from collagen stimulation therapy in Northern Virginia but it is extremely important around perimenopause because this is when collagen loss accelerates. In fact, perimenopausal women lose around 30% of their collagen production in 5 years during perimenopause.

What Are Biostimulation Injections?

One of the most popular forms of collagen stimulation therapy in Northern Virginia is biostimulation injections. These injectables active the fibroblasts in your skin to produce collagen and elastin which slow down the aging process. These treatments are a highly effective way to prevent the signs of aging, not just treat them.

How Collagen Stimulation Works

Collagen stimulation is a treatment where injections wake up your collagen producing cells, called fibroblasts. These biostimulating agents boost collagen production to help prevent facial aging.

Realistic Results

Unlike dermal fillers, you won’t see immediate results with collagen stimulation therapy in Northern Virginia. The true goal of these biostimulation injections is to keep your collagen producing cells alive and active as you age. Mitigating the loss of collagen prevents wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, and skin laxity. They literally slow down the aging process.

There are varying degrees of stimulation, but you can expect skin tightening and firmness, reverse aging such as less wrinkles and lifting of the skin, as well as skin tightening. This treatment also improves the skin’s quality, creating better skin texture, less fine lines, and reduced pore sizing.

Types of Biostimulator Injections

There are two main types of biostimulators. HA and non-HA.

Hyaluronic acid based biostimulators provider better tissue hydration, but non-HA injectables provide better collagen stimulation.

Which Collagen Stimulation is Right for Me?

Which biostimulator is right for my skin? Well, that depends on several factors. First, we have to consider your age, facial volume, skin quality, sun damage, dermal hydration levels and your target areas. But generally:

 Importance of Collagen Stimulation During Menopause

During the first few years of menopause, women will lose around 30% of their collagen production. Combined with bone loss and changes in fat pads, you get accelerated aging in the early 40s and 50s. Investing in prevention is a key first step. These injections prevent further degradation of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Then you can move to correction if it’s needed.

Other Collagen Stimulation Treatments

Microneedling and RF microneedling are two very popular treatment options for boosting collagen production. Microneedling is considered a low level biostimulatory procedure. It improves skin quality and texture. RF microneedling on the other hand, is classed as a high level biostimulation. This includes devices like Morpheus8 and Genius RF.

Another great option is EZ Gel. This bio filler is created from your own blood and contains a hose of growth factors that give you instant volume and longer-term benefits through collagen stimulation.
