More collagen, less wrinkels: Your way to a glowy skin

Now is the perfect time to give your skin some extra attention and achieve a healthy, radiant glow. Do you want to (preventively) reduce fine lines and give your skin a boost? By stimulating collagen production, your skin becomes firmer and fuller. Whether you choose collagen-stimulating fillers, skin treatments, skincare, or collagen powder, there are countless ways to make your skin glow. Discover how to get the best out of your skin!

What is collagen?

Collagen is a natural protein that makes up about 70% of connective tissue and is essential for youthful-looking skin. It is produced by fibroblasts, the building blocks of your skin, which generate both collagen and elastin fibers. These form the supportive structure that keeps the skin firm and improves its texture.

From the age of 25, collagen production gradually declines, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and less firm skin. Hormonal changes, weight loss, and exposure to UV radiation can accelerate this process. Fortunately, there are effective ways to restore healthy, radiant skin by stimulating collagen production.

How can you stimulate collagen production?

There are several ways to boost collagen production, including collagen-stimulating fillers, skin treatments, skincare, and collagen powder. Each option offers unique benefits, but the best results are achieved by combining these methods. Hybrid fillers such as Radiesse and HArmonyCa work in the deeper skin layers, while treatments like microneedling and lasers naturally activate collagen production. Skincare with powerful ingredients like Vitamin C and retinol protects and supports the skin daily, while collagen powder works from within to strengthen the skin, nails, and hair. By combining these techniques, you can achieve healthy, firm, and radiant skin.

Stimulating collagen with hybrid fillers

What are the benefits of collagen-stimulating fillers: Radiesse and HArmonyCa?

If you want to restore your skin’s firmness and youthful appearance, Radiesse and HArmonyCa fillers are the perfect choice. These fillers stimulate collagen production in your face and are specially designed to maintain your natural look while improving skin texture.

Radiesse is a widely used filler for fine lines and volume loss. It contains calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. Thanks to its deeper injection technique, Radiesse is ideal for filling deep wrinkles, restoring facial contours, and enhancing features like fuller cheekbones, a defined jawline, or even a liquid facelift.

HArmonyCa is a hybrid filler that naturally enhances and rejuvenates facial contours. This filler stimulates collagen production and activates the skin’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional fillers that primarily add volume, HArmonyCa focuses on firming the skin, providing a natural lifted appearance without the risk of an unnatural “overfilled” look.

Radiesse and HArmonyCa fillers are part of our Confidence Booster® COLLAGEN treatment. The result? Long-lasting, youthful, and radiant skin that makes you feel your best!

Stimulating collagen with skin treatments

Which skin treatments boost collagen?

Our Confidence Booster GLOW treatments, such as GLOW Rejuvenation and GLOW Anti-Aging, strengthen and rejuvenate the skin from within. By stimulating fibroblasts, your skin becomes firmer and more even. Depending on your skin’s needs, we combine deep peels and microneedling to firm the skin and target specific concerns—ensuring the best possible results.

  • Microneedling boosts collagen by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin. This promotes cell renewal and strengthens the skin’s structure.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling adds an extra layer of stimulation. The heat effect helps tighten the skin, contributing to a firmer appearance.
  • Lasers, such as IPL therapy, positively impact collagen production and improve skin texture. The heat released during the treatment activates the skin’s natural healing process and promotes new collagen fiber formation.

Stimulating collagen with skincare

Which skincare ingredients support collagen production?

Besides professional treatments, the right skincare plays a crucial role in stimulating and protecting collagen production. Many people don’t realize how many ingredients can help. Here are some key components, along with our recommended products:

  • Vitamin C – A powerful antioxidant that protects against UV damage and supports collagen production, leading to a firmer, more even skin tone. Our favorite: SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic.
  • Niacinamide – Strengthens the skin barrier and stimulates collagen production. We recommend: SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense Serum.
  • Glycolic Acid – Exfoliates dead skin cells and promotes cell renewal, indirectly boosting collagen. Our top pick: Dermaceutic Foamer 15.
  • Retinol – Penetrates deeply into the skin to stimulate collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. Our favorite: Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0.
  • Peptides – Encourage skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines. Recommended: SkinCeuticals P-tiox.

Hydration and SPF are just as important:

  • Hyaluronic Acid – Intensely hydrates the skin. While it doesn’t produce collagen, well-hydrated skin absorbs skincare better. Our favorite: SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier.
  • SPF (Sun Protection) – The most important skincare product. It doesn’t create collagen but prevents its breakdown due to UV exposure. Recommended: Dermaceutic Sun Ceutic 50.

Stimulating collagen from within with collagen powder

Which collagen powder do we recommend?
