Collagen Stimulators
RESTORE AND VOLUMiSe
What happens with age? Collagen, the main structural protein which helps our skin feel and look taut and youthful, begins to slow in production, causing our skin to sag. When the unwanted signs of ageing occur, Collagen Stimulators can help you reclaim a well-defined lower face to match your inner confidence.
WHAT ARE collagen stimulators?
Collagen stimulator injections are a type of filler that can be used to restore lost volume and replenish collagen. Collagen stimulators are used to fill specific areas of the face and hands. They provide both instant and gradual results. Increased volume occurs immediately post-injection and they give long lasting results that improve over time.
They work by gently volumising deeper wrinkles and hollows allowing sagging cheeks to disappear, and the natural facial contours to return. Stimulating your body’s natural collagen, filling in wrinkles long term, and helping your skin develop new collagen in the process.
After injection, it works to lift and define key areas for an overall smoother appearance. Once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction, and continues to work by stimulating the body’s own natural collagen production – for up to 18 months.
Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolises the microspheres, leaving this new collagen behind.
At Sonder., we offer 2 types of Collagen Stimulators. Our Doctors or Nurses will asses which one is suitable for you to give you optimal results.
HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK?
After a consultation and assessment the treatment is performed in clinic, where the it is gently injected under the skin. The treatment takes about 30 minutes. To ensure maximum comfort and minimal pain, the filler is premixed with Lidocaine for added comfort.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME AND ARE THERE ANY RISKS OR SIDE EFFECTS?
You may experience some reactions including mild swelling, pain, itching, bruising or discolouration and sensitivity to pain. However, these usually resolve after a few days. Please discuss expected side effects with your medical practitioner.
If you are taking medication, please inform your medical practitioner before treatment, even if it‘s not a prescription medicine. Taking anticoagulants and painkillers, including aspirin and some vitamin supplements, can lead to unwanted bruising.
Collagen Stimulators are administered by our professional and knowledgeable team of doctors and nurses to give you the best possible outcome.
