In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we are unable to provide detailed information about specific treatments online including the type of Bio Remodelling we use at Youth Lab. Such information may be misinterpreted as the promotion of prescription-only (Schedule 4) medications – this is not permitted under TGA guidelines.
For this reason, a consultation with one of our practitioners is required. During your comprehensive consultation, your practitioner will carefully assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and provide education around suitable treatment options. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to address your individual needs.
Treatment costs will vary depending on your tailored plan and will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation.
Understanding collagen and the ageing process:
The skin’s structure relies on an intricate network of collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix proteins produced by specialised cells called fibroblasts. These components give skin its firmness, elasticity, and resilience.
As we age, several normal biological changes occur:
- Fibroblast activity declines, leading to reduced collagen and elastin synthesis.
- Collagen fibres fragment, weakening the skin’s internal scaffolding.
- Fat cells in the mid and lower face shrink and shift downward, contributing to hollowness and laxity.
- Skin hydration decreases as levels of hyaluronic acid naturally diminish.
These gradual processes result in thinner, less elastic skin, fine lines, and changes in facial contour.
Collagen-stimulating treatments may aim to reactivate fibroblast activity, prompting the body to produce new collagen fibres (primarily types I and III) over several months. The result is a gradual improvement in skin quality which may result in skin that appears firmer, smoother, and more luminous, without adding artificial volume.
Collagen stimulator treatments may work to restore volume loss and will not drastically change your appearance.
This treatment may be suitable for adults experiencing changes such as thinning skin, mild to moderate volume loss, or a desire for subtle and natural-looking facial rejuvenation. Suitability is determined on an individual basis, and your practitioner will advise whether this treatment aligns with your goals.
How does Collagen Stimulation work?
Collagen stimulators are made from compounds that act as scaffolds or stimulants for collagen production. Once injected into the skin, the formulation interacts with fibroblasts and triggers a controlled wound-healing response.
This process encourages the deposition of new collagen fibres that strengthen and thicken the dermal matrix. Over time, the material is naturally metabolised by the body, leaving behind newly formed collagen that helps maintain firmness and elasticity.
Because the results develop gradually, these treatments may be well suited to individuals seeking subtle, natural enhancement rather than immediate volume changes.
The benefits of Collagen Stimulators:
Collagen stimulation treatments may be considered for adults experiencing:
- Early to moderate facial volume loss
- Thinning or crepey skin
- Reduced firmness or elasticity
- Overall dullness or textural changes
- Desire for natural, long-term rejuvenation
- Suitability is determined on an individual basis following consultation with a medical practitioner.
Outcomes vary between individuals, but treatment may lead to:
- Gradual improvement in skin firmness and elasticity
- Enhanced support of facial structure
- Smoother-looking skin with softened fine lines
- Improved texture and hydration
- Restoration of a more refreshed and balanced appearance
- Common treatment areas include the cheeks, temples, jawline, neck, and décolletage.
