Aging is a natural process that affects every human on earth. Collagen is an essential protein for skin health, providing structure and support. As collagen levels decrease, skin loses its firmness, resulting in sagging and wrinkles. A loss of collagen also results in reduced skin volume, leading to hollow cheeks and more pronounced creases and wrinkles.

Collagen production begins to decline by about 1.5% in our 20s. This percentage continues to increase as you age. By the time you reach your 40s, you’ve lost around 24% of your collagen production, resulting in more noticeable signs of aging. Due to a dramatic decline in estrogen levels after menopause, women experience an estimated loss of around 30% of collagen production. All of this loss can be addressed with collagen-stimulating treatments. Two of our favorite collagen stimulating treatments are Radiesse and Sculptra, designed to boost collagen production and restore a youthful appearance to mature skin.

Collagen Stimulating Treatments at Amani Medspa

We offer a variety of treatments to address these concerns:

• Radiesse: This injectable filler uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres to stimulate collagen production. Radiesse provides immediate volume and a gradual, natural-looking lift that can last up to a year or more. Radiesse is commonly used to restore volume loss in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and the back of the hands.
• Sculptra: This injectable uses poly-L-lactic acid to gradually stimulate the body’s own collagen production. Commonly applied to the cheeks, temples, and jawline, Sculptra’s results build gradually over several months as collagen production increases. Sculptra offers subtle, long-lasting results lasting up to two years or more.
