• How does Collagen Stimulator work?

  Collagen Stimulator works to target the underlying causes of the signs of aging such as collagen loss. Collagen Stimulator is a facial injectable that works gradually in a series of treatments — an average of 3 injection sessions over a period of a few months — to produce a refined, more youthful-looking appearance. During the course of your Collagen Stimulator treatments, collagen is replaced. Over time, you'll notice changes to your face that can last up to 2 years.

  No. Because Collagen Stimulator targets the underlying causes of the signs of facial aging, it can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last for up to 2 years. Some visible improvements can be seen within the first few weeks of treatment, but the Collagen Stimulator regimen is designed to deliver its unique effects over the course of a few months. Typically, an average of 3 treatment sessions over a period of a few months – and because results happen gradually, you’ll see subtle yet noticeable results in the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds.
