Collagen stimulators are injectable materials placed into the deeper layers of the skin that stimulate the body's own collagen production. It's your own collagen doing the work so it looks very natural. A consultation with Dr. Wong is required prior to starting treatments. You can choose to have your treatments done by Dr. Wong or her Registered Nurse. You can treat several areas of the face at once. Our goal is often for lifting but you also get the benefit of a natural glow to the skin with reduction of crepey skin. Typically you require 2-3 treatments about six weeks apart. You require 1-2 syringes each time. Your treatment schedule and dose is based on how saggy your skin is on your face. Your cost will be determined by how many vials you need. Each vial is $1200 and so your cost ranges from $1200-$2400 per session. Results usually last around two years or more. Generally there is little to no down-time after treatments. The injected areas may be tender or slightly bruised or puffy for a few days. You must massage the treated areas with clean hands five times a day, for five minutes each time, and for five days (the rule of 5/5/5). This rigorous massage schedule helps to reduce the risk of small lumps developing. You must not put makeup on the injection sites for two days after and you must avoid situations where there is a lot of dust or dirt or risk of contamination so as to reduce the risk of infection. Be aware that the results achieved are slow and cumulative with each treatment. You must be patient. If you desire a faster result, we suggest dermal filler injections instead. Results vary depending on how efficient you are in producing new collagen. Confounding factors can be age, smoking, metabolism, etc. Photos will be taken before each treatment and your progress will be documented in follow up sessions. You must text or call our mobile phone if you have any question or concerns. See our private contact page.
