PCL Collagen Bio-Stimulating Fillers
Collagen Bio-Stimulating Dermal Fillers For Anti-Ageing
PCL collagen biostimulating fillers provide long-lasting and sustained correction by volumisation and stimulating collagen production from within the skin.
It works differently from traditional dermal fillers, which work by directly filling in a wrinkle or volume deficiency using hyaluronic acid. On the other hand, this type of collagen biostimulating fillers contain a biodegradable synthetic material called polycaprolactone, or PCL. It stimulates your body’s own collagen to correct volume loss, wrinkles and folds – treating the underlying causes of facial ageing at its root. As a result, you can expect a natural, youthful appearance with long-lasting effects.
How does the treatment work?
PCL collagen biostimulator treatment is designed to improve facial volume, skin support, and overall skin quality by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production over time. Unlike conventional dermal fillers that primarily restore volume by adding gel beneath the skin, PCL collagen biostimulators work by encouraging gradual collagen regeneration within the treated areas.
The treatment contains polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. Once injected into targeted areas of the face, the gel carrier provides an initial soft filling effect, helping to improve facial contours and support areas affected by volume loss. Over time, the gel is naturally absorbed by the body, while the PCL microspheres remain temporarily in place to stimulate fibroblast activity and collagen production.
As new collagen gradually forms around the PCL microspheres, the treated area may become firmer, more supported, and more youthful-looking. This process does not happen instantly. Instead, results develop progressively over the following weeks to months as collagen remodelling takes place.
Areas that can be treated with PCL Collagen Biostimulators
PCL collagen biostimulator treatment may be used to improve concerns such as facial volume loss, hollowing, mild skin laxity, softening facial contours, and reduced skin firmness. Depending on the individual’s facial structure and ageing concerns, it may be placed in areas such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, or other suitable areas to restore support and improve overall facial harmony.
Because the treatment works with the body’s own collagen-building response, results are gradual and natural-looking. The longevity of results may vary depending on the type of PCL product used, treatment area, age, skin condition, lifestyle, and individual collagen response. A consultation with a doctor is recommended to assess suitability and customise the treatment plan according to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
How Long Does it Last?
The immediate results you get after the treatment can last from anywhere between 1 and 4 years. As the results are long-lasting compared to regular dermal fillers, you do not need to go for follow-up visits with the doctor for multiple sessions. Hence, it is an economical solution to improve your facial contours and look more youthful.
PCL collagen bio-stimulators is a very popular skin rejuvenation treatment in Singapore because it does not only plump up deficient areas of the face but it also stimulates collagen production from within, resulting in longer-lasting effects.
Does The Treatment have any risk or side effects?
As with other dermal filler injections, itching and swelling can be expected immediately after the treatment. You can also expect localised swelling and redness at the injection sites. However, these mild side effects should subside within 1-2 days and you can return to your daily activities.
Can The Treatment be reversed or dissolved?
Unfortunately, PCL collagen biostimulators are not the same as hyaluronic acid fillers and cannot be dissolved. This means that once it is injected into your body, it is non-reversible. You will have to wait for 2-3 years for the filler to naturally break down in your body. Therefore, it is very important to consider very carefully before opting to undergo the treatment. Choosing an experienced doctor to administer the treatment for you to ensure that you achieve the best possible outcome.
