Injectable treatments that trigger your own fibroblast cells to produce new collagen, rebuilding the structural foundation of your skin from within, for results that look and feel natural-looking.
Collagen stimulators are injectable treatments that help support the skin’s natural collagen production for a firmer, smoother, and more refreshed appearance over time.
Unlike treatments that focus only on immediate volume, collagen stimulators work gradually by encouraging skin renewal from within. They may be recommended for patients who want natural-looking improvement in skin quality, facial firmness, and overall rejuvenation.
At Body Lab Bali, each collagen stimulator treatment is personalised based on your skin condition, facial structure, and aesthetic goals. A consultation with our medical team is required to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Care guide
Please follow these care instructions before and after your treatment to support a safer and more comfortable experience.
Avoid alcohol for 1–3 days before your treatment to minimize the risk of bruising. Limit or avoid smoking in the days leading up to treatment, as it can impair healing and affect skin quality. Reduce caffeine intake 24 hours before treatment if you are prone to bruising.
Discontinue blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for 7 days prior to minimize bruising. Always consult your doctor before stopping any prescribed medication.
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to treatment to optimize skin hydration and treatment response.
Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, such as AHAs or BHAs, or other irritating skincare products 3–5 days before treatment to reduce skin sensitivity.
Avoid major dental work for 2 weeks before treatment to prevent inflammation or complications. Refrain from laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, or similar skin procedures for 2 weeks before treatment.
Inform us of any history of autoimmune diseases, allergies, or prior filler treatments, as CaHA fillers like Radiesse and Novuma may have specific contraindications. Ensure no active skin infection, inflammation, acne, or irritations are present in the treatment area.
Inform us if you have a history of cold sores, also known as herpes simplex virus. Injection of Radiesse and Novuma can activate cold sores.
Ice the area: apply a cold compress intermittently for 10–15 minutes on and 10 minutes off for the first 4 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Massage: for collagen stimulators, adhere to the “5-5-5 rule” by massaging the treated area for 5 minutes, 3 times daily, for 7 days to ensure even product distribution and minimize nodule formation.
Avoid unnecessary touching or pressure on injection sites to prevent infection or product displacement.
Avoid makeup for 24 hours post-treatment to reduce infection risk. Use clean brushes and non-comedogenic products thereafter.
Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser to gently clean the treated area. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating for 5–7 days. Avoid active skincare products, such as retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs, on the treated area for 5–7 days to prevent irritation.
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, saunas, massages, or activities that increase facial blood flow for 7 days to reduce swelling.
Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Minimize excessive caffeine, which may increase swelling or bruising.
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 3–7 days post-treatment. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ daily to protect treated areas and prevent hyperpigmentation.
Avoid dental work for 2 weeks post-treatment to minimize inflammation or complications in the facial areas. Refrain from having facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, or invasive skin procedures for 2 weeks.
Continue drinking plenty of water to promote healing and maintain skin health.
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising is common and typically resolves within 3–7 days.
Contact us immediately if you experience severe pain, persistent swelling, redness, lumps, skin blanching, vision changes, or signs of vascular complications.
Questions
Collagen stimulators are injectable treatments that trigger your skin’s own fibroblast cells to produce new collagen over time. Unlike dermal fillers that add immediate volume, collagen stimulators work by rebuilding the structural foundation of your skin from within, resulting in gradual, natural-looking improvements in firmness, texture, and volume.
All treatments are performed by our certified aesthetic doctors. They assess your skin and recommend the appropriate product and protocol for your specific concerns.
We use Radiesse, Novuma, and Sculptra, three of the most clinically proven collagen stimulators available. Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres for both immediate correction and long-term stimulation. Sculptra and Novuma are both poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectables that work progressively to restore lost volume and rebuild collagen over multiple sessions. Your doctor will recommend the most suitable option based on your skin condition and goals.
Most patients achieve optimal results with 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your doctor will assess your skin condition and create a personalised treatment plan during your initial consultation. Some patients with mild concerns may see satisfying results after a single session.
Initial results are visible within 1–2 weeks as the product settles. The full collagen-building effect develops gradually over 3–6 months as your skin produces new collagen. Results typically last 18–24 months or longer, making collagen stimulators one of the longest-lasting injectable treatments available.
Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and the injectable solution contains lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) for added comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. The procedure takes approximately 30–45 minutes.
Collagen stimulators are ideal for adults experiencing early to moderate signs of skin ageing, including loss of facial volume, skin laxity, and deep lines. They are particularly effective for the cheeks, jawline, temples, and décolletage. A consultation with our doctor is required to determine suitability, especially if you have a history of keloid scarring, autoimmune conditions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Yes, collagen stimulators work very well in combination with other treatments. We often combine them with Botox to address dynamic wrinkles, skin boosters for surface hydration, or Ultraformer MPT for deeper tissue tightening. Your doctor will recommend the most effective combination based on your skin goals.
