What our customers are saying...

“I did the Smartzide Cot CO2 Laser at Beleza Med Spa over a year ago on my face and I still get comments on how good my skin looks. Sometimes it is the first thing someone says to me. I had a lot of sun damage from living on the lake and owning boats, and many trips to Hawaii. I was also competing in triathlons. As you can see, I did a lot of outdoor activity. It was taking its toll and aging my skin. The recovery process of the Smartzide was uncomfortable but doable. Everyone at Beleza were always available to help me through it. It is a lot quicker than you think it is going to be at first. Now, I am always hearing that I look at least 10 years younger than I am and how do I get my skin to glow. I have remained on the skin care regimen that the staff put me on with fabulous results. I'm telling you, they know what they are doing at Beleza Med Spa!!”

Collagen Stimulation Austin

For many, our appearance doesn’t reflect how we feel on the inside, so tackling aging skin by addressing those wrinkles and lines associated with growing old is a must. We are living longer, active lives and there is no reason our faces shouldn’t reflect this! As we age, our collagen is attacked by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Collagen is not produced anymore and existing collagen begins to break down. This leads to the sagging and drooping and loss of elasticity we see with aging. At this point, over-the-counter lotions can only do so much. Collagen stimulation is needed. We aim to harness your body’s own ability to repair itself! True anti-aging!

What is collagen stimulation?

Collagen is a protein that is the building block of your skin. It is made by cells located in the deep layer of your skin. The collagen in your skin exists in bundles. Our goal is to stimulate the skin cells to make new collagen and repair the collagen already there.

How can collagen stimulation and resurfacing help me?

Stimulators and resurfacing helps to give volume to your skin as it begins to show signs of aging. They can help to make the lines that have become permanent a bit smoother. Restylane and Perlane help to pump up the skin, while Juvaderm ends any problems you may have with minor folds. Radiesse works hard to deal with more severe wrinkles.

How do collagen stimulators work?

Juvaderm, Restylane, and Perlane all work thanks to hyaluronic acid. This natural acid helps give a measure of fullness to your skin. The molecules will bind again and again as they slowly break down, helping to maintain fullness. Radiesse uses CaHA microspheres bound in a gel that helps to resurface the appearance of your face.

What should I expect during treatment?

We use a very small needle to help inject the right treatment and eliminate problem wrinkles. In many cases, we can even employ an anesthetic that will help your comfort level. The process is slower than you might expect because stimulators work best when injected slowly.

Are these treatments safe?

Each of our collagen stimulators are approved by the FDA, and that may provide you with the peace of mind you need to move forward.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of collagen stimulation treatments necessary depends on the type of treatment you need. Radiesse can last from 12-16 months, while Juvaderm and Perlane give you results that may last from 9 – 12 months. Finally, Restylane helps stimulate collagen growth for 6 months.

Are collagen stimulators painful?

While sometimes a bit uncomfortable, many of these treatments aren’t painful. We use advanced injection techniques that help minimize any trauma you may experience.

Who is a good candidate for collagen stimulation?

Anyone with lines or wrinkles, no matter what the skin type, can benefit from collagen stimulation and resurfacing. If you’re just beginning to show signs of aging or are having continual health problems, this may not be the right solution to meet your needs. We recommend meeting with a member of our staff to ensure this treatment is right for you.
