COLLAGEN STIMULATORS in Portland, OR

Discover Amazing Skin Tightening Collagen Treatments

Collagen is the primary building block in our skin and the most abundant protein in our body. Think of a blossoming flower’s soft, plump petals they owe their beauty to the same kind of support collagen gives our skin! This excellent protein gives our skin structure, strength, and elasticity, essential for skin rejuvenation and natural skin tightening. 

Collagen production peaks between 20 and 25 and gradually decreases by 1-1.5% per year, with existing collagen breaking down more quickly. By age 60, you may have lost about 80% of your natural collagen. The gentle hollowing around the eyes and face, the softening of the cheeks, and the appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles are all signs of this natural collagen loss, which can be addressed with treatments like biostimulators  for facial volume loss and collagen stimulation.

Collagen Stimulators Before and After Care

Before your Collagen Stimulator appointment

  • Stay hydrated and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements a week before treatment to avoid bruises unless specifically recommended by your doctor. We have found that the biggest culprits for bruising are aspirin, NSAIDs, Ginkgo biloba, cod liver oil, vitamins A and E, and fish oil.
  • To help minimize bruising, try Arnica Montana pellets two to three days before your treatment. You can usually find Arnica Montana in Portland at the Market of Choice, Whole Foods, or Natural Grocers.
  • If you experience cold sores, please contact us for further instructions before scheduling.

After your Collagen Stimulator appointment

  • Avoid significant movement and only massage the treated area as instructed by your injector.
  • Take it easy at the gym post-injection. Don’t exercise for at least 24 hours.
  • Skip massages or microdermabrasion on injection day.
  • It is recommended to avoid alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and salt to keep swelling at bay for at least 48 hours post-injection.
  • Avoid extensive sun exposure (even with SPF) and heat for the first 72 hours.
  • Be cautious of airplane travel for at least the first 72 hours, as cabin pressure can sometimes worsen side effects. We encourage you to wait at least one week for a post-filler or stimulator for air travel.
  • While bruising is not ideal, it will not impact your results. To heal bruising or swelling, take Arnica Montana tablets and topical Arnica cream/gel, or incorporate Alastin Injection Serum into your skincare routine to speed up healing.
  • For discomfort, Tylenol or acetaminophen is okay. A gentle cool compress (not ice) for 15 minutes each hour can also reduce swelling or pain.
  • Do your best to sleep face up and slightly elevated, avoiding side or stomach sleeping
