Find the right support in the finer details
Sunmax collagen injections use type I collagen as a filling material, with planning focused on local hollows and lines. Your physician considers skin thickness and facial expressions when choosing the product, injection layer and volume, to discuss an approach that respects your existing features.

Understanding the material
Sunmax uses type I atelocollagen, a different material from hyaluronic acid and Sculptra. The consultation explains the specific product and its properties, then considers the location of hollows, skin thickness and previous injections to discuss a suitable approach.
Look at hollows and the whole expression
Planning considers not only an individual hollow, but how it meets surrounding tissue and how your face moves when you smile. Your physician considers the features you want to preserve alongside the lines that concern you. Suitable sites depend on the specific product and your individual circumstances.
Allow time to assess the settled appearance
Volume and session numbers depend on the area, and staged treatment can be discussed. Follow-up assesses recovery and the settled appearance before deciding whether to adjust the plan. Swelling immediately after injection is not the final result.
Aftercare for the product actually used
Temporary local swelling, tenderness or bruising may occur. Follow your physician's care instructions rather than applying massage advice from another injectable. For unusually severe pain, marked skin colour changes or visual symptoms, contact the clinic and seek medical care immediately.
Frequently asked questions
How does Sunmax differ from hyaluronic acid and Sculptra?
Sunmax is a collagen implant. Hyaluronic acid fillers and Sculptra use hyaluronic acid and PLLA, respectively, as their main materials. Choice depends on the area's needs, product properties and treatment history; these injectables are not interchangeable filling methods.
Can I ask about under-eye shadows?
The cause can be assessed first. Shadows may involve pigmentation, blood vessels, hollows or eye bags. Filling is not suitable for every cause; treatment depends on the product's approved uses and your physician's assessment.
Should I mention previous injections?
Yes. Share the product name, date and treated sites, as well as any allergies. Bring records or photographs if available to help with planning.
Can treatment be completed in one visit?
This depends on the extent of the hollow, skin condition and the degree of change being discussed. Some concerns can be addressed locally first, while others may suit adjustments after follow-up. Duration also varies with the product, site and individual circumstances.
