COLLAGEN Production

Collagen is the essential protein that gives your skin its structure, strength, and elasticity. As we age, the body’s natural production of collagen slows down, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and a loss of firmness. This decline in collagen is a key factor in many visible signs of aging. Maintaining and stimulating collagen production is crucial for preserving the skin’s youthful appearance and resilience. At Atkinson Aesthetics, we emphasize treatments that support and enhance your skin’s natural collagen production, helping to maintain firmness, smoothness, and overall skin health over time.

Lift & Tighten your Skin

Ultherapy is the gold standard in non-surgical skin lifting and tightening. We use ultrasound imaging to identify collagen rich areas & deliver energy directly where you need it most. This stimulates collagen & elastin for a non-surgical lift. You'll have natural-looking results that improve over time, with NO downtime.

For Smoother, More Radiant Skin

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture by creating controlled micro-injuries. When combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or Exosomes, the procedure enhances the skin’s healing process. PRP utilizes your body’s natural growth factors, while Exosomes offer advanced cellular support. This treatment is effective for reducing fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin texture, promoting smoother and more radiant skin with minimal downtime. The approach can be adjusted based on specific skin concerns and goals.

Boost Collagen

Achieve immediate volume and long-lasting results with Radiesse. This dermal filler not only smooths wrinkles but also stimulates your skin's collagen production over time. Perfect for those looking for both instant and enduring rejuvenation. Radiesse and Sculptra are advanced injectable treatments designed to restore facial volume and enhance skin structure. Radiesse provides immediate volume and lift by using calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres to support the skin’s structure. Over time, it also stimulates natural collagen production, resulting in a more youthful and resilient appearance. Sculptra, on the other hand, works gradually to improve the skin’s elasticity and volume through poly-L-lactic acid, encouraging the body’s own collagen production. This combination of treatments can deliver both instant and long-lasting results, addressing volume loss and smoothing out wrinkles. Ideal for clients seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Radiesse and Sculptra offer a natural-looking enhancement that improves over time for a refreshed and youthful look.
