Collagen Treatment Sherwood Park
Your skin's collagen naturally decreases over time. Award-winning RN Shayse offers personalized, medical-grade injectable options designed to support skin health and restore a refreshed, natural-looking appearance.
Book a ConsultationWhat Is Collagen and Why Does It Change?
Collagen is the structural protein that gives skin its firmness, elasticity, and volume. Starting in your mid-twenties, your body's natural collagen production slows by roughly 1% per year.
Sun exposure, lifestyle factors, and genetics all accelerate this process. The result is gradual changes you may notice as softening contours, fine lines, or a loss of that refreshed appearance you are used to.
Medical-grade injectable treatments are one of the most evidence-based ways to work with these changes. They operate at a depth that topical skincare simply cannot reach — which is why clinical expertise and proper assessment matter significantly.

Injectable Options That Support Collagen Health
Shayse works with a focused set of Health Canada approved medical devices and properly prescribed products. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough assessment of your facial anatomy and skin goals.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers restore volume in areas affected by collagen loss. The hyaluronic acid molecule attracts moisture, provides structural lift, and may encourage collagen activity in surrounding tissue.
Common areas include the cheeks, temples, and jawline — where volume changes are often first noticed. Shayse also performs lip filler in Sherwood Park for clients seeking subtle definition and hydration in that area.
Neuromodulators
Botox and similar neuromodulators relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic lines — the lines that form from repeated expressions over years. By reducing this repetitive muscle movement, the skin experiences less daily mechanical stress.
For clients exploring a comprehensive skin health approach, Botox in Sherwood Park is often discussed alongside collagen-supporting filler options in the same consultation.
All products used are Health Canada approved. Every injectable treatment requires a client-specific prescription from an authorized prescriber, assessed before each visit.
What to Expect: The Shayse Experience
Shayse is a solo injector. Every consultation, every assessment, and every treatment is performed by Shayse herself — not a rotating staff member or a technician.
Your first appointment begins with a detailed discussion of your skin concerns, health history, and goals. Shayse assesses your facial anatomy before recommending any treatment. You will never feel pressured — she informs and you decide.
Before you leave, Shayse walks you through what to normally expect in the hours and days after treatment, potential signs to watch for, and how to reach the clinic if you have any concerns.
Results vary by individual.
Individual outcomes depend on factors including facial anatomy, skin condition, muscle activity, metabolism, and lifestyle. A consultation determines the right approach for your specific goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a collagen treatment?
Collagen treatments are aesthetic procedures designed to support or stimulate your skin's natural collagen production. They include options such as neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and other medical-grade approaches that help restore volume and skin firmness. Shayse assesses each client's skin and goals to recommend the most appropriate approach.
Does Botox help with collagen production?
Neuromodulators like Botox work primarily by relaxing targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic lines. Some emerging research suggests repeated muscle relaxation may indirectly support skin quality over time, though results vary by individual. A consultation with Shayse can clarify whether Botox aligns with your skin health goals.
Can dermal fillers stimulate collagen?
Certain dermal fillers, particularly those containing hyaluronic acid, are known to attract moisture and provide structural support that may encourage collagen activity in the surrounding tissue. Results vary by individual and depend on factors including skin condition, product choice, and placement technique.
How long do collagen-supporting treatments last?
Duration depends on the specific treatment used. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the area and product. Neuromodulators generally last 3 to 4 months. Results vary by individual based on metabolism, lifestyle, and facial anatomy.
At what age should I start collagen treatments?
There is no single right age. Many clients begin exploring collagen-supporting treatments in their late twenties to early thirties as a proactive approach to skin health. Others seek treatment later to address changes they are already noticing. Shayse assesses your skin and goals during a consultation to guide timing.
Are collagen treatments safe?
When administered by a qualified, trained Registered Nurse using Health Canada approved medical devices and properly prescribed products, collagen-supporting injectable treatments have a well-established safety profile. Shayse is an award-winning RN who follows all CRNA practice standards and holds professional liability coverage.
What is the difference between collagen and hyaluronic acid treatments?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. Dermal fillers using hyaluronic acid support volume and may encourage collagen activity. Collagen itself is the structural protein responsible for skin firmness. Some treatments aim to stimulate your skin's own collagen rather than replace it directly.
How many collagen treatment sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your starting point, the treatment chosen, and your goals. Some clients find one session provides the results they are looking for. Others prefer a maintenance schedule. Shayse outlines a personalized plan during your consultation so you understand what to expect before committing.
Is there downtime after a collagen treatment?
Most injectable collagen-supporting treatments involve minimal downtime. Some clients experience temporary redness, minor swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site. Shayse reviews all expected aftercare and what to watch for before you leave the clinic, so you are fully prepared.
How is a collagen treatment different from a facial or skincare product?
Over-the-counter skincare products act at the surface level. Injectable and medical-grade treatments work at a deeper level within the skin structure. The depth and precision of medical injectable treatments are not achievable with topical products alone. This is why clinical assessment and a trained injector matter.
Can collagen treatments be combined with other injectables?
Yes. Many clients benefit from combining collagen-supporting dermal fillers with neuromodulators for a comprehensive, natural-looking outcome. Shayse designs personalized treatment plans that address multiple concerns without over-treating. A single consultation covers all options relevant to your goals.
Who should not get collagen treatments?
Collagen-supporting injectable treatments may not be appropriate for clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain autoimmune conditions, or have active skin infections near the treatment area. A thorough medical history review during consultation ensures treatment is appropriate and safe for you.
