Introduction to Collagen Skin Boosters
Collagen skin boosters provide a minimally invasive approach to support the skin’s natural structure. These treatments stimulate natural collagen production, leading to improvements in skin texture, skin firmness, and skin elasticity. By delivering heterologous Type I collagen (HTIC), the procedure supports skin regeneration and maintains overall skin quality.
Addressing Skin Concerns
HTIC targets common concerns such as skin laxity, acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and skin thinning. It works by promoting the body’s natural collagen production and supporting the skin’s natural repair processes. The treatment is suitable for adults experiencing changes in skin quality due to aging, injury, or environmental factors.
What Is HTIC Heterologous Type I Collagen Skin Booster?
HTIC is an injectable collagen stimulator formulated to support skin regeneration and repair. It activates fibroblasts to increase collagen synthesis, addressing skin laxity, fine lines, and reduced skin elasticity.
Difference from Dermal Fillers
Unlike dermal fillers, HTIC stimulates the body’s own collagen production, gradually improving skin firmness, elasticity, and texture over time. The treatment is suitable for sensitive skin and various skin types.
Intended Patients
HTIC is intended for adults with skin thinning, sagging skin, or reduced elasticity caused by aging or injury.
How HTIC Collagen Skin Booster Works
Fibroblast Activation and Collagen Production
HTIC promotes fibroblast activity, which produces endogenous collagen fibers and collagen synthesis. Fibroblasts use amino acids from hydrolyzed collagen to create new collagen, gradually improving skin structure and supporting the skin’s natural regeneration process.
Supporting Skin Structure
HTIC promotes fibroblast activity, which produces endogenous collagen fibers and collagen synthesis. Fibroblasts use amino acids from hydrolyzed collagen to create new collagen, gradually improving skin structure and supporting the skin’s natural regeneration process.
Gradual Results Over Sessions
HTIC is administered in a series of intradermal injections, allowing gradual improvements in skin quality, texture, and firmness. Visible changes are observed over multiple sessions, supporting the skin’s natural collagen production.
Benefits of HTIC Collagen Skin Booster
Skin Quality and Hydration
HTIC may improve skin texture, skin tone, and overall skin quality. The treatment supports skin hydration, helping retain moisture and maintain skin softness.
Safety and Tolerability
The procedure is generally well-tolerated. Patients may experience mild redness, tenderness, or bruising at injection sites, which resolves within a few days. The treatment involves minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities.
Supporting Skin Regeneration
HTIC encourages skin regeneration and supports the skin’s natural structure. It may be combined with other aesthetic treatments, including chemical peels, to address multiple skin concerns.

HTIC Collagen and Its Role
HTIC delivers Type I collagen to the dermis, stimulating endogenous collagen fibers and supporting the skin’s natural regeneration process. The treatment is suitable for various skin types and tones, including sensitive skin, and can address skin atrophy, sagging, and aging signs.
HTIC gradually improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness over a series of sessions. It is non-surgical, minimally invasive, and performed by MOH certified medical aesthetic doctors.
Treatment Process
Consultation and Treatment Plan
Each session begins with an assessment of skin condition and concerns, followed by a personalized treatment plan. HTIC is supplied as a micronised powder diluted with saline and administered using collagen injections. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort.
Procedure Details
Each session takes about 30 minutes. The standard schedule in Singapore is four sessions spaced every two weeks, though adjustments can be made based on skin condition. The injections are delivered just below the skin’s surface.
Minimally Invasive Approach
HTIC is non-surgical and minimally invasive, allowing patients to notice gradual improvements in skin quality over multiple sessions.
Recovery and Downtime
Patients may experience mild redness or swelling at injection sites, which resolves within a few days. The treatment involves minimal downtime, enabling return to normal activities shortly after the procedure. Patients are advised to avoid intense sun exposure or strenuous activity immediately after treatment.
Expected Results
HTIC gradually improves skin texture, elasticity, firmness, and overall skin quality. The treatment supports natural collagen production and skin’s natural regeneration process, addressing acne scars, stretch marks, skin laxity, and fine lines. Results are more noticeable after completing a series of sessions.
