Hello! I am Airi Yokoyama, a cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist.
“Recently, I’ve been concerned about dark circles and fine lines under my eyes…” “I want a more natural finish than hyaluronic acid provides.” “I feel that hyaluronic acid is a little scary….”
For those who feel this way, I recommend baby collagen.
It is a relatively new injection treatment in aesthetic medicine, particularly good for treating delicate areas around the eyes.
In this article, I will explain in detail the overview, effects, duration, and indications of baby collagen.
-
What is baby collagen?
Baby collagen is an injectable formulation that combines type I and type III collagen in a 1:1 ratio.
Type III collagen is found abundantly in the skin of newborn babies and is deeply involved in skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, type III collagen decreases, leading to thinner skin and wrinkles, but by injecting baby collagen, we can compensate for this deficiency.
The product is FDA-approved in the United States and is highly safe, widely used in cosmetic clinics in Japan. (It tends to be scarce due to its high rarity…!)

Effects of baby collagen
① Improvement of dark circles under the eyes.
・Effective especially for thin skin or indentation types of blue or dark circles.
・Creates thickness in the skin to make the appearance of blood vessels and shadows less noticeable.
② Improvement of fine lines.
・Useful for fine lines around the eyes and mouth.
・Can be injected into shallow layers that are difficult to treat with hyaluronic acid.
③ Skin quality improvement.
・Promotes collagen production for a plump texture.
・Enhances moisture retention and firmness.
-
Areas suitable for baby collagen
・Under the eyes (dark circles, fine lines)
・At the corners of the eyes.
・Around the mouth (lip line wrinkles).
・Horizontal neck wrinkles.
・Lack of firmness on the back of the hands.
-
Duration
The effects of baby collagen are said to last about 3 to 6 months. Although the duration is shorter than hyaluronic acid, its natural texture and high safety are appealing.
By regularly repeating injections, collagen production may be promoted, leading to improved longevity and a gradual enhancement of skin condition in some cases.
-
Downtime
・Swelling and redness: A few hours to about 2 days.
・Internal bleeding : Rarely lasts about a week.
・Makeup can be applied from the same day to the next day (according to the doctor’s instructions). Downtime is relatively mild, and many people can go out the same day as the procedure.
-
Precautions
・The effects are not permanent, so regular treatments are necessary.
・There is also a non-zero possibility of allergies.
・As it is derived from the human placenta, you will be unable to donate blood.
・For significant indentations or deep wrinkles, it is often insufficient on its own (combination with other treatments is recommended).
Summary
Baby collagen is a highly safe injection treatment suitable for improving dark circles and fine lines around the delicate eye area.
While the duration of the effects is shorter at 3 to 6 months, it offers a natural finish and skin quality improvement effects, making it a popular choice among repeat patients.
This treatment is also highly popular among overseas patients who prioritize naturalness.
