Hello beautiful people, today’s tip is a short one, but it is a question I get asked often.
When is the right time to start collagen biostimulators? The short answer is not as early as you might think.
Dr Rami Haidar | 11th August 2026 | Excellence Medical Boutique, Dubai
Collagen biostimulators work by encouraging the skin’s own cells to produce more collagen. Starting this process too young changes that relationship. When cells are asked to rely on a stimulator before they need to, they can get used to outside help rather than doing the work themselves. Over time, that makes the cells lazier, not stronger.
Dr Rami Haidar is direct about this: stimulators should be done at the right age, not when someone is 26. The tip is less about the treatment itself and more about patience, and about letting the skin ask for help only once it genuinely needs it.
Starting too early can train the skin’s cells to depend on the stimulator rather than produce collagen on their own. Dr Rami Haidar recommends waiting until the right age, rather than treating it as a preventative step in your twenties.
There is no single number that applies to everyone, but Dr Rami is clear that starting at 26, for example, is generally too early. Collagen biostimulators tend to make the most sense once natural volume loss or skin laxity is already visible.
In the case referenced above, the patient was photographed again three weeks after treatment. Timelines vary by patient, treatment area, and the specific product used, so individual results are confirmed during consultation rather than promised in advance.
