Collagen stimulators: Radiesse, Facetem and Juvelook compared

Collagen stimulators are products that do more than fill volume: they switch on your own collagen production. Results build gradually and look natural because it is your own tissue.

Two main types

• Calcium hydroxylapatite - Radiesse and Facetem S. Gives immediate support and a light lift, then stimulates collagen over several months. Good for contour, cheekbones and jawline, and when diluted - for skin quality on the neck and décolleté.
• Poly-L-lactic acid - Juvelook. Almost no immediate volume: the skin thickens gradually over 2-3 months. Suits skin quality on the face, neck and around the eyes.

Who they suit

• loss of firmness and a softening jawline;
• thin, lax skin on the face and neck;
• wanting a refresh without an "overdone" look;
• as a complement to other treatments.

When you see results and how long they last

First changes appear after 4-8 weeks, the full effect after 2-3 months. Duration is individual and depends on age, lifestyle and metabolism - on average a year or more. Sometimes a second session is needed to build the effect.

Important

These products require sound knowledge of anatomy and correct technique. A consultation is essential: I check contraindications, assess your skin and decide with you which product and how much is needed.
