Collagen Injections Scottsdale

If you’ve been feeling frustrated by the presence of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, or lost volume, there are a number of ways to refresh and rejuvenate your skin...and many of them don’t have to involve an invasive surgical procedure! At Admire^MD^® Plastic Surgery + Skin Clinic, we offer collagen injections in Scottsdale that can help to restore your youthful glow, without an expensive or lengthy procedure.

Skin Rejuvenation through Collagen Stimulation

Compounds in your blood known as platelets can naturally help tissues to heal by stimulating a repair and growth response. Collagen-stimulating skin rejuvenation injections promote accelerated healing by supplementing the platelet content of an area in which the tissues have been damaged, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Reach out and set up your consultation to learn more about what we can do for you!

What Is Collagen-Stimulating Skin Rejuvenation?

Collagen stimulating skin rejuvenation is accomplished with an organic substance that has long been advocated for its ability to facilitate tissue regeneration and wound healing. Collagen naturally exists in your blood, making it incredibly safe and convenient, and eliminating the potential for an adverse reaction.

By drawing your blood and using a centrifuge to extract platelet-rich plasma, we’re able to utilize an incredible number of naturally-occurring growth factors that your body makes all on its own. These include epithelial and vascular epithelial growth factors, as well as fibroblast and connective tissue growth factors, with each type promoting a vital process, like inflammatory response, blood vessel regeneration, tissue remodeling, and cell proliferation.

How Does Collagen Stimulation Work?

The growth factor is used in two ways to improve the appearance and overall vitality of the skin: It can be injected directly into your skin, beneath wrinkles, hollows, and areas of deflation; or it can be applied topically, with a gentle microneedling procedure.

Collagen stimulation improves texture, volume, and radiance by inducing numerous regenerative processes, stimulating the production of various growth factors that exist within blood plasma and provide essential proteins, electrolytes, hormones, and other nutrients to the skin. Proteins are integral to the formation of fibrin polymer which lays a strong foundation for firm, youthful tissue. Platelets within the plasma naturally respond to injuries in the body, prompting accelerated tissue regeneration through vascular and cellular regrowth.

What Are the Main Benefits of Collagen Stimulation?

Perhaps the main benefit of collagen stimulation is that it harnesses your body’s naturally-occurring growth factors and regenerative compounds to refresh and rejuvenate the appearance of your skin. These growth factors are involved in almost every regenerative process in the body, and when they’re injected into the skin, they stimulate collagen proliferation.

This adds volume to areas of the face that have begun to droop or atrophy, fills in the cheeks and under-eye hollows that cause dark circles, and softens any bags that may have formed. Due to ongoing collagen remodeling, these injections also promote softer, smoother, tighter skin over time.

Collagen stimulating skin rejuvenation injections are also beneficial because they are safe for all skin types and tones. The organic nature of the treatment, which utilizes your own blood product, significantly reduces the potential for side effects such as allergic response.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

This treatment takes only slightly longer than an average injectable treatment. We’ll begin with a standard blood draw, and can help with a topical numbing while your blood is processed in the centrifuge, if you’d like. This takes just a few minutes, after which point your skincare expert will carefully observe your face and may mark areas where injections are recommended. The entire process is typically complete within 15 to 20 minutes.

What Happens After the Procedure?

You’ll be able to get back to your daily routine immediately following your collagen-stimulating skin rejuvenation procedure. You can expect some slight redness and swelling, and some patients notice minor bruising, but these side effects disappear within a day.

When Will I See My Results?

You’re likely to notice an immediate boost in the radiance and softness of your skin after your collagen injections in Scottsdale.

These injections work beneath the surface, restructuring the collagen matrix in your superficial tissues, so results from injections alone become more noticeable after a few weeks:

Smoother texture due to improved collagen formation.
More radiance due to new blood vessel formation.
Fresher, younger-looking skin due to the influx of vital nutrients.

The Advantages of Collagen Stimulation

Studies have indicated that patients treated with platelet-rich plasma facials and facelifts find that their results continue to improve over time. Several months after treatment, the effects of cellular regeneration may be even more noticeable than they are right after microneedling or injections. This is because plasma stimulates cellular activity in which collagen and elastin are remodeled.

From research, we can recognize that collagen stimulating skin rejuvenation progressively improves the skin while other injectables gradually degrade as the body metabolizes the foreign substance. The results of these treatments may continue to improve for more than a year, providing results that last up to two years or more. Furthermore, research suggests that the cellular stimulation achieved with annual treatments could offset the natural degenerative aging process.

Are There Risks Involved?

The growth factors and nutrients literally stimulate cellular regeneration wherever the organic product is introduced. Collagen stimulating skin rejuvenation supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms and does not include any foreign substances or chemicals. Therefore, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction to the product.

An important note about collagen stimulating skin rejuvenation and microneedling treatment: patients should obtain care from a trained professional. While the risk of prolonged swelling and infection are very low, the manner in which treatment is performed can affect outcome. Our team has been educated in the safe, effective and comfortable performance of this treatment.

Your body has incredible regenerative power, and we know how to harness it!
