Stimulate Your Own Collagen: Sculptra, Microneedling & RF

Collagen is the protein that gives young skin its firmness, bounce and smooth texture. From our mid-twenties we make a little less of it each year, and over time this shows as fine lines, laxity and a loss of definition. The good news is that we can encourage the skin to make more of its own, and that is exactly what collagen-stimulating treatments do.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a biostimulator that works gradually, prompting your skin to rebuild its own collagen over a series of weeks. Rather than filling a line directly, it restores support and firmness from within, for a subtle, natural rejuvenation that develops over time.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the body's natural repair response, boosting collagen and elastin to improve texture, fine lines, scarring and overall skin quality.

Radiofrequency microneedling

This takes things further by delivering gentle heat energy deep into the skin alongside the micro-channels. It tightens existing collagen and stimulates fresh collagen production, making it especially effective for lifting and firming laxer skin without surgery.

What to expect

Because these treatments work with your own biology, results appear gradually and look natural. A course is usually recommended for the best outcome. Your clinician will help you choose the right option, or combination, at your consultation.
