Collagen Stimulation

Collagen is the essential protein that gives our skin its firmness, elasticity, and youthful structure. However, as we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to sagging, fine lines, and a loss of skin density. This process begins in our 20s, with collagen decreasing by about 1% per year, but it accelerates significantly around menopause due to hormonal changes. Studies show that women can lose up to 30% of their collagen within the first five years of menopause, causing a dramatic reduction in skin thickness, firmness, and hydration. Fortunately, advances in aesthetic medicine allow us to stimulate collagen production through innovative laser treatments and collagen-boosting injections.

Collagen Loss & Ageing

Collagen degradation is an inevitable part of aging. Over time, the skin’s ability to replenish collagen slows, resulting in visible signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. For women, this process is particularly rapid during menopause, when oestrogen levels drop. Oestrogen plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, and its decline can cause up to 30% of collagen loss within the first five years of menopause. This leads to thinner, more fragile skin and a noticeable decline in elasticity.

How Lasers Stimulate Collagen Production

Laser treatments are one of the most effective ways to trigger the body’s natural collagen production. By delivering controlled energy into the skin, lasers create microscopic injuries that stimulate the healing response, leading to new collagen formation. Different laser technologies target varying depths of the skin, making them versatile for different concerns.

• Fractional Lasers: These lasers create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen remodeling and improving skin texture, fine lines, and overall firmness.
• Non-Ablative Lasers: These stimulate collagen with heat without removing layers of skin, offering a more gradual improvement with minimal downtime.
• Radiofrequency Microneedling: Combining the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency energy, this treatment penetrates deeper into the skin to enhance collagen production and tighten loose skin.

Laser treatments are particularly effective for reversing the early signs of collagen loss and improving skin resilience over time.

Collagen-Stimulating Injections

In addition to laser treatments, collagen-boosting injectables offer another powerful way to restore lost volume and improve skin quality. These injectables work by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, delivering natural, long-lasting results. Unlike traditional fillers, whose primary purpose is to restore lost volume, collagen-stimulating injections focus on promoting collagen synthesis for a more natural and gradual rejuvenation.

Who Can Benefit?

Anyone experiencing signs of collagen depletion—such as fine lines, skin laxity, or loss of volume—can benefit from these treatments. Women undergoing menopause may find them particularly effective in counteracting the accelerated collagen loss that occurs during this stage. Whether used separately or in combination, laser therapies and collagen-stimulating injectables offer a proactive approach to maintaining youthful, resilient skin.
