What is Pure Collagen Injectable?
Pure collagen injectable is a medical-grade, purified Type I collagen treatment that promotes natural skin regeneration and bio-revitalisation. It works by stimulating the body’s fibroblasts to produce new Type III collagen, enhancing the skin’s elasticity, density and overall radiance.
This innovative treatment uses Heterologous Type I Collagen (HTIC), delivered via fine intradermal injections, to rebuild the skin's structure from within, making it an ideal solution for those experiencing age-related skin concerns such as fine lines, loss of firmness or atrophic scars.
Unlike dermal fillers, pure collagen injectable does not add volume. Instead, it restores the skin’s foundational strength by rebuilding collagen, resulting in smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin over time.
How does Pure Collagen Injectable work?
As we age, our natural collagen production slows down, leading to thinner, weaker skin that shows signs of sagging, wrinkling and dullness. While many treatments aim to mask these effects, pure collagen injectable addresses the root cause by directly stimulating your skin’s ability to regenerate collagen. Unlike fillers or volumising injectables, this treatment works deep within the dermis to rebuild skin structure using your body’s cellular processes.
Stimulating natural collagen regeneration
The injectable contains HTIC derived from equine sources, which are fully hydrolysed into tripeptides and amino acids. These active components perform two key functions:
- Stimulating old fibroblasts to restart collagen production
- Generating new fibroblasts to produce fresh, youthful Type III collagen
This dual mechanism of action ensures both existing fibroblasts are reactivated and new fibroblasts are generated, enhancing collagen production and skin regeneration.
Intradermal microinjections
The collagen powder is reconstituted with saline and injected into the dermis or just beneath the skin using a 34G needle, which is the finest available. Microinjections are administered over the targeted area to ensure even coverage and consistent results.
The treatment is minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and no significant downtime.

What are the benefits of Pure Collagen Injectable?
The treatment offers a unique regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation. Unlike temporary solutions, it works on a cellular level to improve skin structure and restore collagen reserves.
Some of the key benefits that the procedure offers are:
- Collagen stimulation – promotes the body’s natural production of Type III collagen
- Improved skin elasticity and firmness – especially in ageing or atrophic skin
- Hydration and glow – improves overall skin quality and radiance
- Refined skin texture – softens fine lines and smooths uneven surfaces
- No downtime – resume daily activities immediately after treatment
- Safe and well-tolerated – non-allergenic and globally reported to have no side effects
What conditions can Pure Collagen Injectable treat?
Pure collagen injectable is suitable for both men and women from their mid-20s onwards. It is ideal for those noticing early signs of ageing or skin laxity. Similarly, it is a good option for individuals new to injectables who prefer a natural, regenerative approach over volumising fillers.
As the procedure is suitable for both the face and body, it is often used to address:
- Ageing skin – loss of elasticity, density and firmness
- Fine lines and wrinkles – especially in delicate areas like the under-eye and forehead
- Atrophic scars – including acne scars, stretch marks and post-surgical scars
- Neck and decolletage ageing – improves crepey skin texture
- Gingival (gum) retraction – supports tissue regeneration in the mouth
- Private areas – used in intimate rejuvenation treatments (under doctor guidance)
The target areas also include:
- Forehead
- Face
- Under-eye
- Decollete
- Neck
- Hands
- Knees
- Gums
- Intimate areas.
What are some of the associated risks?
The injectable is clinically proven to be safe, with no reported allergic reactions or serious side effects. The product’s small molecular weight (less than 1kDa) prevents allergic response, making it suitable even for sensitive skin types.
However, some of the potential minor side effects may include:
- Redness or slight swelling at injection sites. This is temporary and often resolves within a few hours.
- Mild tenderness or sensitivity. Although this is typically rare and short-lived.
One of the key advantages of pure collagen injectable is that it requires no downtime. As such, you can return to your usual activities immediately after the procedure.
What are the contraindications of this procedure?
The treatment is not recommended for individuals with:
- Autoimmune conditions
- Cancer
- Infections
- Keloid scarring
- Skin inflammation
- A history of allergic reactions to collagen preparations
Similarly, women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding should refrain from undergoing this procedure.
- Breastfeeding
- Pregnancy

During the procedure
- The skin is thoroughly cleansed and numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

- The process typically takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable, with minimal discomfort throughout the session.
Post-treatment care
You may notice mild redness or swelling at the injection points, which usually subside within a few hours. You can return to work and daily activities right away.
But, to support healing and maximise results, do adhere to the following guidelines:
- Avoid intense exercise, alcohol and heat exposure for 24 hours
- Keep your skin hydrated and apply sun protection daily
- Avoid applying makeup on the same day of the procedure (best to wait until the next day to reduce the risk of irritation or infection)
Over the following days and weeks, you will begin to see improvements in skin texture, firmness and overall glow as collagen production is naturally restored.

How many sessions are needed?
Most patients require a course of 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 14 to 21 days apart. However, the number of treatments may vary based on age, skin condition and desired outcomes.
When will I see the results?
Some individuals notice improvements within a few days. The full regenerative and lifting effects are typically seen after completing the full treatment cycle, with results lasting 6 to 9 months. To maintain optimal results, our doctors recommend booster sessions once or twice a year.
Once you have completed the cycle, our doctors will recommend booster sessions once or twice annually. This is to maintain optimal results.
From your mid-20s, your body loses around 1.5% of collagen each year, leading to visible signs of ageing over time. Pure collagen injectable helps counter this by stimulating natural collagen regeneration from within.
