An introduction to Collagen Boosting Treatments
As part of the Crystalline Clinic team, I’ve seen many skincare trends come and go. But there’s one consistent truth: youthful skin thrives on collagen. We all chase the glow—the smooth, firm texture that signals healthy, youthful skin. However, collagen production naturally slows down as early as our mid-20s. By age 50, we may have lost up to 30% of our skin’s collagen! Thankfully, we don’t have to accept these changes passively. At Crystalline Clinic, our collagen boosting treatments help our clients reclaim radiant, youthful skin without invasive procedures or lengthy downtime.
Why Collagen Boosting Treatments Matter
Collagen is essentially the scaffold beneath your skin, holding it up, giving it firmness and elasticity. But as collagen levels decrease, fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin begin to appear. That’s precisely why collagen boosting treatments are essential—they stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, making your skin appear smoother, tighter, and brighter.
Collagen boosting isn’t about injecting artificial substances; instead, it focuses on triggering your skin’s natural healing processes. Treatments we offer at Crystalline Clinic, like microneedling, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy, and skin boosters, are scientifically proven to enhance collagen synthesis effectively.
The Science Behind Our Collagen Boosting Treatments
Microneedling is a favourite among our clients—and for good reason! By creating controlled micro-injuries, it prompts your skin to repair itself, kick-starting collagen production. This natural healing response not only boosts collagen but improves skin texture and reduces scarring significantly. A detailed review of microneedling’s effectiveness is available on the National Institutes of Health website.
Similarly, PRP therapy is another popular choice. We extract growth-factor-rich plasma from your blood and reintroduce it to your skin through micro-injections. This plasma is packed with proteins and growth factors that promote rapid collagen growth. Kim Kardashian famously shared her experience, which you can read more about in Vogue.
Who Can Benefit From Collagen Boosting Treatments?
Collagen boosting treatments aren’t just for mature skin. Clients in their late 20s and early 30s use these treatments preventatively, maintaining their youthful skin quality for longer. However, if you’ve already started noticing fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of firmness, these treatments can offer remarkable improvements.
Our clients see excellent results treating:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Mild to moderate sagging skin
If you’re uncertain whether collagen boosting treatments are suitable for you, consider a consultation with our experienced skin therapists at Crystalline Clinic.
Preparing for Your Collagen Boosting Treatment
Before you undergo collagen boosting treatments, we’ll offer you a personalised skincare consultation to prepare your skin and maximise results. We’ll typically recommend:
- Avoiding retinoids and exfoliants for a few days pre-treatment
- Hydrating well and using gentle skincare products
- Limiting sun exposure and ensuring consistent sunscreen application

What to Expect During and After Your Treatment
Your comfort is always our priority. Collagen boosting treatments at Crystalline Clinic are performed using topical numbing creams to ensure minimal discomfort. Most treatments last 45-60 minutes. Afterwards, you may experience mild redness or swelling—think of it as a sign your skin is working hard to regenerate!
For post-care, we recommend gentle, hydrating skincare products. High-quality brands like La Roche-Posay or CeraVe are excellent choices to soothe and nourish treated skin.
Results: What Can You Expect?
Typically, you’ll see initial improvements within a few days as your skin appears smoother and brighter. However, the real magic happens weeks and even months after treatment as collagen production ramps up. Our clients report that skin feels firmer, looks visibly younger, and continues improving over time.
To maintain your results, we suggest regular maintenance treatments and diligent skincare routines, including sun protection. Collagen supplements might also help amplify your results. Check out the latest research on supplements at Examine.com.
