Collagen Injections

Where can collagen injections be used?

The high safety profile of the Linerase product allow it to be used in every, even the most delicate area of the face and the whole body. It is especially recommended for use around the eyes, lips, decolletage, neck and hands.

Is this treatment suitable for me?

Collagen injections are suitable for a wide variety of uses and skin types.

Linerase can be used as preventative treatment from the age of 25, in order to inhibit the aging processes by maintaining the proper level of collagen, or therapeutically to regain lost firmness, elasticity and density of the skin.

We do not recommend collagen injections for the following:

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Autoimmune diseases
• Diabetes
• Tumours
• Tendencies to form keloids

For more information please contact our team; or else book a consultation at Clinicbe for assessment by one of our highly experienced Aesthetic Physicians.

What type of collagen is used?

Clinicbe uses LINERASE collagen injections; a long lasting, clinically-proven, non-invasive injectable treatment that is designed to smooth out and soften lines and wrinkle, nourish, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, stimulate collagen and elastin production and and contour the face in a natural way.

Linerase collagen is safe, free from allergenic telopeptides, and intended for aesthetic procedures. Due to its unique bioactivity, it increases the number of fibroblasts in the skin that are responsible for the production of its own type 3 collagen.

What is involved in Linerase collagen injections treatment?

Before the procedure, local anaesthetic cream can be applied if required.

Linerase collagen injections are in liquid form and are administered with a tiny, very thin and very short mesotherapy needle. We apply small doses of the product 1-3 cm apart.

After Linerase treatment, the client’s skin is gently massaged.

How much do collagen injections cost?

Collagen injections are an affordable choice for patients looking for a natural way to rejuvenate the skin without resorting to major surgery. See our biorejuvenation treatment prices page for the latest costs.

When will I see results?

The full effects of the treatment (improvement of skin thickness and density, lines and wrinkles) is visible around 4 weeks after the final treatment.

The very first results will be visible as soon as a week later:

• Skin becomes firmer,
• Illuminated and glowing
• Irritation and redness started to calm down

The full effect of the treatment will be:

• Improved lift
• Volume
• Thin skin becomes denser
• Fine wrinkles and skin defects/scars etc. become shallow and less visible

That is usually achieved within 4 weeks from the end of the course.

How long will the results last for?

Results generally last up to 12 months, depending on patient's skin condition. After that time, when results start to fade, we advise quarterly treatments to maintain results.

Are there any side-effects?

• The most common side effects of collagen injections are bruising, swelling, redness or tenderness at the injection site. These do not require any medical intervention and disappear within a few days.
• Clients with very thin skin may experience swelling for longer 3-7 days.
• Small risk of allergic reaction.
• Rarer potential side effects include infection, granuloma formation (small bumps under the skin), and uneven results.
• The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require any time off work.

How often should I have treatment?

Collagen injections are delivered in a series of four treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. The frequency of treatment may be adapted depending on the patient and treatment.

Can I have collagen injections as a preventative treatment?

Yes, collagen injections can be an excellent choice as a preventative treatment. We would recommend a treatment every 3-6 months, although this may be adjusted according to the individual patient's requirements.
