Collagen is a key factor in maintaining youthful, firm, and smooth skin, but as we age, our body's natural collagen production decreases. At The Image Domain, Dr Ryan Shannan offers a variety of collagen stimulation treatments designed to restore volume, enhance elasticity, and rejuvenate the skin, giving you a refreshed, youthful appearance:
1. Restoring facial structure:
This treatment approach is designed to gradually restore lost volume and smooth the skin's appearance. It works with the skin's natural collagen production, targeting areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, and chin to help firm and smooth the skin. Results build gradually over several weeks and can offer long-lasting improvement in skin texture and elasticity.
2. Collagen Boosters:
Collagen boosting treatments help restore lost volume and support collagen production over time, targeting areas such as the cheeks, under the eyes, and nasolabial folds as part of a broader, personalised treatment plan.
3. Microneedling:
Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production. This treatment improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall skin tone, and is commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage.
5. PDO Thread:
Thread Lifts are a minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin while stimulating collagen production. Fine threads made from biocompatible materials are inserted under the skin, lifting and firming the skin while encouraging collagen formation. Over time, the threads dissolve, leaving behind firmer, lifted skin. This treatment is especially effective for areas like the jawline, neck, and cheeks.

Collagen stimulation treatments are non-invasive procedures that stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, helping to restore volume, improve skin elasticity, and reduce signs of ageing. These treatments encourage the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful and firm skin.
These treatments work by triggering your skin’s natural healing response, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. This process helps to restore lost volume, reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture and elasticity. The specific technique depends on the treatment used.
Results from collagen stimulation treatments vary. Improvements develop gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases. In most cases, you will begin to see noticeable changes within 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement over the following months.
Most collagen stimulation treatments are minimally invasive with little downtime. However, common side effects may include slight swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site. These effects are temporary and should resolve within a few days. Rare side effects may include infection or allergic reactions, but these are uncommon. Dr Ryan will provide full information about potential risks and aftercare instructions.
The downtime for collagen stimulation treatments is minimal. You may experience some swelling or bruising, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients are able to return to their regular activities immediately after treatment, though it’s advised to avoid strenuous exercise or sun exposure for a short period.
The number of treatments required depends on the specific treatment and your individual goals. However, for most patients we advise an average of three treatments one month apart.
Collagen stimulation treatments are suitable for individuals who are looking to address signs of ageing, volume loss, or skin laxity. Ideal candidates are generally healthy and have realistic expectations. Dr Ryan will assess your skin and provide a consultation to determine the best treatment options for you.
To get started, simply schedule a consultation with Dr Ryan at Image Domain. During your consultation, Dr Ryan will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend a personalised treatment plan. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions about the process, expected results, and aftercare.
Some swelling, redness or bruising around the treated areas is normal and usually settles within a few days. Apply a cool compress if needed and take paracetamol rather than anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen for any discomfort. If Dr Ryan advises massaging the treated area (often recommended after certain collagen-stimulating treatments), follow the exact schedule you are given. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas, steam rooms and very hot showers for 24-48 hours, and stay out of direct sun while applying SPF 30+ daily. Keep the skin clean, avoid make-up over the area for the rest of the day, and drink plenty of water. Results build gradually over several weeks as new collagen forms. Contact the team at Image Domain if you notice increasing pain, lumps or signs of infection.
