Collagen-Stimulating Injectables: A Medical Approach to Facial Volume Restoration and Skin Rejuvenation


Sculptra offered at Aesthetic Astute by Dr. Danielle Richards Peregian Springs, Sunshine Coast


As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, leading to volume loss, fine lines, and a less youthful appearance. While dermal fillers provide an instant plump, another injectable treatment works differently by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting, natural-looking results.


Dr. Danielle Richards refers to this as the ‘Liquid Facelift’ because it restores skin tightness gradually, giving the face a refreshed and youthful lift without looking overdone. In some circumstances, this treatment may also be used for skin tightening in other areas of concern, depending on clinical assessment by your doctor.



Why Choose a Doctor for Your Injectable Treatments?

Injectable treatments require a doctor's prescription and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, injection techniques, and potential risks. Choosing a qualified medical doctor ensures that your treatment is performed with precision, safety, and expertise.


At Aesthetic Astute, Dr. Danielle Richards, a General Practitioner and Cosmetic Doctor, performs this injectable treatment. With her medical training, she tailors treatments to your unique facial structure while prioritising patient safety. A doctor’s expertise is essential for minimising complications, ensuring correct placement, and achieving the most natural and aesthetically pleasing results.



How Does It Work?

This collagen-stimulating injectable contains a biocompatible substance that triggers your body’s natural collagen production. Over several months, it works beneath the skin to gradually restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and improve skin quality. The process is discrete, making it an excellent option for those who want a refreshed appearance without obvious signs of cosmetic treatment.


The results are not only natural but also long-lasting, with improvements continuing for months after treatment. The number of treatments required depends on the current level of skin laxity, typically ranging from 1 to 5 sessions for optimal results.


Why Dr. Danielle Uses TSK Dermal Cannulas

At Aesthetic Astute, Dr. Danielle uses TSK dermal cannulas for injections, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience. These advanced cannulas offer several benefits:

  • Minimised Bruising & Swelling – The blunt-tip design reduces trauma to blood vessels, significantly lowering the risk of bruising and swelling.

  • Increased Precision & Safety – Allows for greater control and accuracy in product placement while minimising discomfort.

  • Reduced Risk of Complications – Compared to traditional needles, cannulas lower the risk of vessel occlusion and unwanted side effects.

  • Fewer Injection Points – Cannulas allow for broader product distribution with fewer entry points, reducing discomfort and improving healing.

Dr. Danielle is commitment to advanced, minimally invasive techniques that prioritise patient comfort and results.
