Collagen Stimulation London
Collagen is the structural protein responsible for skin firmness, elasticity and quality — and one that decreases progressively from our mid-twenties onwards. Collagen Stimulation at Vitalumina is a medical treatment that actively rebuilds collagen in the skin, producing a gradual, deep improvement in firmness, texture and overall quality.
Dr Gregorio De Carvalho assesses every patient individually and designs a regenerative plan tailored to your specific skin needs and goals.

What is Collagen Stimulation?
Collagen Stimulation is a category of injectable treatments designed to trigger your skin’s own collagen production from within. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers — which add volume directly — biostimulators work by activating the cells responsible for producing new collagen, elastin and other structural proteins. The result is firmer, denser, better-quality skin that improves progressively over months.
At Vitalumina, Dr Gregorio uses three principal biostimulators: Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite), which provides immediate structural support and progressive collagen rebuilding; poly-L-lactic acid, for deep structural regeneration; and polynucleotides (PDRN), for regenerative improvement of skin texture, elasticity and tissue quality. Each treatment is selected based on your individual skin condition, the specific concerns being addressed and the long-term goals discussed in consultation.
Different from skin boosters and dermal fillers
Collagen Stimulation is fundamentally different from skin boosters (which hydrate and improve skin quality through hyaluronic acid) and from dermal fillers (which add volume directly). Biostimulators do not fill — they regenerate. They work with your skin’s biology to produce new structural tissue from within.
This makes the treatment particularly valuable for patients seeking long-term improvement in firmness and skin quality rather than immediate volume change. Results are gradual — typically becoming visible at 6–8 weeks and continuing to develop over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. The improvement persists long after the treatment session itself.
Where the primary concern is skin quality and texture rather than structural firmness, polynucleotide treatment may be considered as an alternative or complementary option, subject to assessment.
TREATMENT AT A GLANCE
Deep Regeneration
Collagen rebuilt from within
Biostimulators activate your skin’s own cells to produce new collagen and elastin. The improvement is structural and progressive — not added volume but better-quality, firmer skin developing over months.
Long-Lasting Results
Built tissue, not borrowed volume
Because the result is your own newly produced collagen, the improvement persists well beyond the treatment session. Most patients see continued benefit for 18–24 months following a complete treatment course.
