What are collagen stimulating injections?
If you’re interested in a skin rejuvenation treatment that can help revitalise your complexion and promote a more youthful appearance, collagen-stimulating injections may be a suitable option. Cairns locals can contact us today to book an initial consultation, or to find out more information about these cosmetic injectables or any of our other skin and body treatments.
Collagen-stimulating injections are a type of bio-stimulator that works by stimulating your skin to regenerate its natural collagen and elastin. This process can contribute to healthier-looking skin with improved texture and tone. The injections are carefully administered at an appropriate depth to address specific concerns such as structural support, volume replacement, and overall skin quality enhancement.
At our clinic, we prioritise your well-being and aim to provide you with comprehensive and educational information. Our friendly team is dedicated to addressing your questions and helping you make informed decisions regarding collagen-stimulating injections. Contact us today to learn more and explore how these treatments can support your skin rejuvenation goals.

What is the difference between dermal filler injections and collagen stimulating injections?
There are a few key differences between how collagen stimulating injections and dermal fillers work:
Bio-stimulating injections work by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen, with results gradually occurring over time but looking very natural. They require 2 to 3 sessions approximately 6 to 8 weeks apart and the results last at least 2 years. They are well suited to clients who want to see gradual improvement over time rather than in a single session.
Dermal fillers are made of a different substance (hyaluronic acid) and are designed to hold their shape in the body. They will last from between 9 months to 2 years (depending on which filler was used) and can target areas that bio-stimulating injections cannot (lips, around the mouth and nose).
The natural production of collagen and elastin
leads to firmer, younger-looking skin.
Collagen-stimulating cosmetic injectable treatments can
be used to improve cellulite and stretch marks.

How bio-stimulating injections are carried out
at Jade Cosmetic Clinic in Cairns
If you choose to have your bio-stimulating injections with us in Cairns, this is what you can expect:
Consultation
One of our experienced Registered Cosmetic Nurses will assess your facial features and spend time understanding your concerns and ensuring you have all the information before you decide to proceed with any treatments. They will also talk you through the different types of bio-stimulating injections that we have available.
Procedure
Collagen stimulating injections are administered in much the same way as filler, using a needle or cannula. They contain a local anaesthetic in the solution, so numbing cream is rarely necessary (but it can be used for increased comfort). The treatment times are reasonably quick and usually take between 30 and 45 minutes.
Results
Unlike fillers, the results aren’t immediate but instead are very natural and occur gradually over time. As the process utilises the body’s collagen, the results are longer lasting. Studies show that 86% of clients are still happy 25 months after treatment.
How much do bio-stimulating injections cost in Cairns?
At Jade Cosmetic Clinic, bio-stimulating injections cost the following:
Sculptra
- $900 per vial – face
- $600 per vial – body – bottom/hip dips
(Both face and body will require 2-3 treatments 8 weeks apart)
Radiesse
- $900 per syringe (1.5ml)
At your initial consultation, one of our highly experienced Registered Cosmetic Nurses will talk you through the different benefits of each of our bio-stimulating injections so that you can decide which treatment is right for you.
Unlike dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, collagen stimulating injections contain Poly-L-Lactic Acid, which gradually initiates an inflammatory process in the skin, kickstarting the natural healing process that results in collagen and elastin production.

FAQs
Below are some of our most frequently asked questions about our collagen stimulating injections treatment in Cairns:
Some areas will be more sensitive than others, but generally, the treatment is comfortable because of the local anaesthetic in the formula. Numbing cream or ice packs may be used to make the procedure more comfortable if required.
Yes, massage is essential to ensure that no lumps and bumps form. You should massage for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days (5 x 5 x 5). A Jade roller will be provided as part of the treatment to assist with the massage.
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, or allergic to any of the ingredients or local anaesthetic, is not suitable for bio-stimulating injections treatment. Also if you have an uncontrolled immunological disorder such as Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus or Hashimoto’s disease, it is not suitable for you.
Possible side effects include bruising, swelling and tenderness (very similar to filler injections). There is a 0.01% incidence of granulomas reported – these are small hard lumps that occur several weeks after the procedure and may require treatment from a healthcare professional. However, this incidence is the same as with hyaluronic filler (extremely low).
