Rebuild your skin’s structure. Restore firmness. Age intelligently.

If your skin feels thinner, less firm, or not as resilient as it once was, you’re likely experiencing collagen loss.

Collagen is the structural protein that gives your skin its firmness, elasticity, and youthful density. Starting around age 30, natural collagen production declines by approximately 1% per year — and that process accelerates over time.

The result of collagen loss may include:

• Thinner skin
 • Fine lines and wrinkles
 • Loss of firmness
 • Skin laxity
 • Hollowing in the cheeks or temples
 • Reduced skin bounce and hydration

At Posh Medical in Reno, we focus on rebuilding collagen — not just temporarily masking its loss.

Why Collagen Loss Happens

Collagen depletion is caused by both intrinsic aging and external factors.

Contributors include:

• Natural aging
 • Sun exposure (UV breakdown of collagen fibers)
 • Environmental pollution
 • Oxidative stress
 • Smoking
 • Poor nutrition
 • Chronic inflammation

Over time, the supportive “scaffolding” beneath your skin weakens, leading to visible aging.

The good news: modern aesthetic medicine allows us to stimulate new collagen production safely and effectively.

Our Collagen-Stimulating Treatments

Biostimulation: Rebuilding from Within

Sculptra®

Sculptra is a collagen biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Rather than filling lines immediately, it works gradually by activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen over time.

Benefits:

• Restores structural support
 • Improves skin thickness and firmness
 • Provides natural, progressive results
 • Lasts 2–5 years

Sculptra is ideal for patients experiencing global volume loss and skin thinning.

Structural Support & Volume Restoration

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (Juvéderm® & Restylane®)

Hyaluronic acid fillers restore lost facial volume while improving hydration and structural support. These fillers:

• Lift and contour
 • Smooth wrinkles
 • Restore cheek and jawline definition
 • Enhance hydration

Results typically last 12–18 months depending on product and treatment area.

Collagen Induction & Skin Remodeling

SkinPen® Microneedling

SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that stimulates natural collagen production through controlled microchannels.

It improves:

• Fine lines
 • Skin thinning
 • Texture irregularities
 • Early laxity

PRP Microneedling

PRP enhances microneedling by delivering growth factors that amplify collagen and elastin production.

Potenza RF Microneedling – Remove

Opus Plasma

Opus uses fractional plasma and radiofrequency energy to stimulate significant collagen renewal while improving skin tone, texture, and firmness.

Ideal for:

• Moderate skin laxity
 • Deep lines
 • Crepey skin
 • Advanced collagen depletion

Professional Skincare to Support Collagen

To maintain and protect your results, we recommend medical-grade skincare from:

• Face Reality
 • SkinBetter
 • Alastin
 • SkinMedica®

These lines include antioxidants, peptides, retinoids, and growth-factor-based formulas that support ongoing collagen health and protect against future breakdown.

Your Personalized Collagen Renewal Plan

Most patients benefit from a strategic combination approach.

For example:

• Sculptra for foundational rebuilding
 • Fillers for contour refinement
 • Microneedling or RF for tightening
 • Medical-grade skincare for daily maintenance

During your consultation, we assess:

• Degree of skin thinning
 • Volume loss patterns
 • Laxity
 • Lifestyle factors
 • Long-term aesthetic goals

Our goal is natural, progressive improvement — never overfilled or overtreated results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Collagen production naturally declines beginning around age 30. Sun exposure, pollution, smoking, and inflammation accelerate breakdown while slowing new collagen formation.

We offer Sculptra for long-term collagen rebuilding, hyaluronic acid fillers for structural support, and collagen-induction treatments such as SkinPen microneedling, PRP microneedling and Opus Plasma resurfacing.

Most adults noticing thinning skin, laxity, wrinkles, or volume loss are candidates. A consultation is required to determine the best treatment combination for your goals.

Biostimulatory treatments like Sculptra develop gradually over several months. Microneedling and RF treatments improve progressively over 3–6 months. Filler results are immediate, with ongoing collagen support. Individual results vary based on age, skin condition, and treatment plan.
