Top 5 ways to Stimulate Collagen in the Skin (That Actually Work)
1. Sculptra: The Injectable That Works Over Time
BEST FOR: VOLUME LOSS, THINNING SKIN, LONG TERM RESULTS
Sculptra us really not a filler-It's actually a collagen stimulator. Made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Sculptra works by kickstarting your body's own collagen production. Instead of giving immediate volume like hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra gradually restores fullness over several weeks or months. The effects are subtle and natural-looking and results can last up to 2.5 years with a proper series of treatments. We recommend yearly maintenance treatments so that you hold on to your results even longer.
*Pro Tip: Results are best when you do 2-3 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. You won't see instant change, but once it kicks in, you'll be glowing.
2. RF (Radiofrequency) Technology: Skin Tightening With Heat
BEST FOR: LIFTING, TIGHTNING, IMPROVING SKIN TEXTURE
Radiofrequency (RF) devices deliver energy deep into the skin to heat the dermis, which in turn stimulates collagen and elastin, The heat causes your existing collagen to contract (hello- instant firmness!) and prompts your body to produce more over time.
Energy can also be delivered (to even deeper levels) through devices like Thermage (which is also RF) or Ultherapy (which is focused ultrasound) - Combine these treatments with microneedling for a double boost.
*Pro Tip: RF treatments are great for the face and neck and even crepey body areas like the decollete, abdomen or even arms and legs.
3. Microneedling: Controlled Injury = Major Collagen Boost
BEST FOR: SCARRING, FINE LINES, SKIN TEXTURE
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body's healing response and promoting new collagen growth, when paired with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or serums, the benefits multiply.
There are at-home devices but our medical grade treatments go deeper and produce more dramatic results.
*Pro Tip: Results are best when you do 2-3 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. You won't see instant change, but once it kicks in, you'll be glowing.
4. Red Light Therapy: Non-Invasive, Relaxing and Proven
BEST FOR: BOOSTING COLLAGEN, REDUCIN INFLAMMATION, HEALING
Red light therapy (also known as low-level laser therapy or LLLT) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. It also reduces inflammation and supports cellular regeneration. This is one of the few at home options that actually works, especially when used consistently.
*Pro Tip: Look for FDA-cleared devices and aim for 3-5 sessions per week for visible skin improvements.
5. Topical Estrogen Cream: The Hormonal Boost
BEST FOR: POST-MENOPAUSAL SKIN, THINNING, DRYNESS
As estrogen levels drop (especially after menopause) collagen production plummets. Topical estrogen creams such as Naficy Estrogen Cream- can help restore collagen density, improve skin thickness and reduce wrinkles in estrogen-deficient skin.
*Pro Tip: Only use under the guidance of a doctor or hormone specialist, especially if you have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions.
The Bottom Line
You dont need to pick just one-many of these treatments complement each other. A typical skin-rejuvenation plan might combine RF with microneedling, add in sculptra for volume and maintain results with red light therapy and hormone support. Talk to your provider to create a plan that fits your skin goals and lifestyle.
Your collage comeback starts now!
