Introduction to Collagen-Stimulating Skinboosters (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Collagen-stimulating skinboosters are injectable treatments designed to support skin rejuvenation by improving hydration, elasticity, and texture. Treatments such as Juvelook (素颜针), Rejuran (婴儿针), and Profhilo encourage the skin’s natural collagen production, offering improvements in skin quality with minimal downtime.
These treatments are ideal for individuals aiming to improve concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging. By stimulating collagen production, they support the skin's underlying structure, improving its firmness, elasticity, and overall appearance over time.
Key Ingredients and Their Skin Benefits (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Poly D,L-Lactic Acid (PDLLA)
A key ingredient in Juvelook, PDLLA stimulates collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
It activates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, helping to improve the skin's structure and resilience.
PDLLA strengthens the skin's foundation, improving texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and other signs of aging.
Polynucleotides (PN)
The active component in Rejuran, polynucleotides are derived from salmon DNA and are recognized for their regenerative properties.
They enhance cell renewal and repair skin damaged by environmental factors or aging, promoting healthier, stronger skin.
Polynucleotides support tissue regeneration, improving overall skin vitality and reducing visible signs of aging.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Found in Juvelook, Rejuran, and Profhilo, HA helps retain moisture in the skin, maintaining hydration and improving skin elasticity.
It provides essential hydration, smoothing the skin's surface and creating a more supple, plump appearance.
HA addresses skin laxity and promotes a lifting effect, improving skin tone and quality.
Benefits of Collagen-Stimulating Skinboosters (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Pore Tightening Stimulates collagen production to refine pores, making them appear smaller and less visible, which enhances overall skin smoothness.
Acne Scar Improvement Promotes collagen regeneration to repair and improve the appearance of acne scars, leading to a more even and refined skin texture.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles Combines hydration with collagen stimulation to reduce both superficial lines and deeper wrinkles, helping the skin appear smoother and more youthful.
Skin Firming and Tightening Enhances skin elasticity and firmness by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving the skin's structural support and reducing sagging.
Improved Hydration Replenishes moisture levels with Hyaluronic Acid, addressing dryness and leaving the skin supple, plump, and refreshed.
Improved Skin Elasticity and Quality Strengthens the skin’s structure, making it more elastic and resilient, which helps combat sagging and signs of aging.
Enhanced Skin Glow Revitalizes dull skin by improving hydration and boosting skin health, resulting in a more radiant and glowing complexion.
Prevention of Premature Aging Stimulates natural collagen production early, helping to delay visible signs of aging in younger patients.
Treatment Areas for Collagen-Stimulating Skinboosters (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Face Collagen-stimulating skinboosters work to smooth fine lines, improve wrinkles, and enhance overall skin quality by promoting hydration, firmness, and elasticity. They help to minimize the appearance of pores, even out skin tone, and restore a radiant, healthy-looking complexion, making the skin appear rejuvenated and more resilient over time.
Eyes Using precise microinjections, these treatments are tailored for the delicate skin around the eyes. They help reduce fine lines and crow’s feet, improve the appearance of dark circles, and address tear trough hollowing. By rejuvenating the under-eye area, the skin looks refreshed, brighter, and more youthful.
Neck Collagen-stimulating skinboosters target crepey skin and horizontal neck lines, improving the texture, firmness, and elasticity of the neck. These treatments help smooth and tighten the skin, addressing visible signs of aging neck skin.
What to Expect During Collagen-Stimulating Skinboosters Treatment (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Initial Consultation During the consultation, a personalized plan is created to address specific skin concerns and goals.
Pre-Treatment Preparation Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Treatment Procedure Collagen-stimulating injectables can be delivered using two methods: precise microinjections or the Dermashine injector gun. The choice of technique depends on the patient’s skin concerns and the product being used, with your doctor recommending the most suitable approach to achieve the best results.
Microinjections: This method involves using ultra-fine needles to inject the product into specific areas of the skin. It allows for precise targeting, making it suitable for addressing localized concerns such as the under-eye region.
Dermashine Injector Gun: This device uses a system of 9 tiny needles to evenly distribute the product across the treatment area. The injector gun allows for precise control over the depth of injection, ensuring consistent delivery across the skin.
This method minimizes bruising, reduces pain, and requires less downtime compared to traditional techniques. It is helpful for treating larger areas such as the face or neck, providing consistent results with a quicker and more comfortable treatment experience.
Post-Treatment Care Some swelling or redness may occur at the injection sites, typically resolving within a few days. Bruising is possible but temporary. Following aftercare recommendations ensures a smoother recovery process.
Collagen-Stimulating Skinboosters Results and Maintenance (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Initial Effects After treatment, patients experience smoother, more hydrated skin with improved suppleness and radiance.
Progressive Skin Improvements As collagen production is stimulated, the skin quality improves and gradually becomes firmer and healthier, contributing to a more youthful and refreshed appearance over time.
Treatment Schedule For optimal results, a series of three sessions spaced four weeks apart is recommended. To maintain the benefits, follow-up treatments every 4–6 months are advised, ensuring long-lasting improvements in skin health and appearance.
Combining Treatments for Enhanced Results (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Combining collagen-stimulating skinboosters with energy-based treatments, such as lasers and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), can enhance the overall results by addressing multiple skin concerns simultaneously:
Collagen-Stimulating Injectables + Laser Treatments Adding on laser treatments can help improve pigmentation, and even out skin tone and colour. Lasers target surface-level concerns like redness, uneven pigmentation, and dullness, while collagen stimulating skinboosters work deeper in the skin to boost hydration, elasticity, and collagen production.
Collagen-Stimulating Injectables + HIFU Combining collagen-stimulating skinboosters with HIFU offers a synergistic approach to anti-aging. HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin tissues, and lift sagging skin. Collagen stimulating skinboosters enhance this effect by hydrating and improving elasticity in the upper skin layers, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Understanding Risks and Side Effects of Collagen-Stimulating Skinboosters (Juvelook, Rejuran & Profhilo)
Collagen-stimulating skinboosters are generally safe and well-tolerated by most patients when administered by an experienced doctor. However, as with any injectable treatment, there are potential side effects to consider:
Common Side Effects Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps may develop at the injection sites. These are temporary and typically subside within a few days.
Rare Side Effects In rare cases, allergic reactions or the formation of nodules may occur. These side effects are usually manageable and can be treated with appropriate medical care if necessary.
Aftercare Recommendations
Avoid alcohol, heat exposure (e.g., saunas or hot baths), and strenuous exercise immediately following the treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
Protect the treated areas by applying sunscreen with SPF 50 to minimize sun exposure and support optimal skin healing.
By following your doctor’s aftercare advice, you can ensure a smoother recovery and maximize the benefits of your treatment.
Excluding numbing cream application, each session typically takes around 15 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Is the treatment suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, collagen-stimulating skinboosters can be suitable for sensitive skin. During your consultation, the doctor will assess your skin type and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
How soon after treatment can I apply makeup?
It is generally advised to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to heal and minimize the risk of irritation or infection.
Are collagen-stimulating skinboosters painful?
Discomfort is typically minimal, as a numbing cream is applied before the procedure. The Dermashine injector gun can also reduce discomfort compared to traditional injection methods.
Will I need to take time off work after the treatment?
Most patients can resume work and daily activities immediately after the treatment. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves within a few hours to a few days.
How soon will I see results?
While hydration effects can be noticeable within a few days, improvements in skin elasticity, texture and firmness typically become more apparent over the next few weeks as collagen production increases.
Are there any lifestyle changes I need to make post-treatment?
Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and alcohol consumption for 24 hours after treatment. Always apply sunscreen to protect treated areas from sun damage.
Can men benefit from collagen-stimulating skinboosters?
Yes, these treatments are equally effective for men, addressing concerns like skin laxity, uneven tone, enlarged pores, and signs of aging.
How is this different from traditional dermal fillers?
Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, collagen-stimulating skinboosters focus on improving skin quality by boosting hydration, stimulating collagen production, and enhancing skin elasticity.
What should I do if I have a reaction to the treatment?
If you experience an unexpected reaction, such as prolonged redness, swelling, or discomfort, contact your doctor immediately for assessment and guidance.
