THE MICHIKO APPROACH

Considered care.
Personal to you.

THE CLEAR ANSWER

What does this
care involve?

Made Collagen should not be assumed to be the same as direct collagen replacement, a PLLA biostimulator or an HA filler. The treatment’s meaning depends on the exact formulation used. MICHIKO begins with your skin concern and a discussion of ingredients, supporting evidence, expected benefit and alternatives.

The skin concern

Dullness, acne and itching should not automatically lead to the same injection.

MICHIKO · YOUR QUESTIONS, EXPLAINED

Made Collagen.
Beyond the treatment name.

What is Made Collagen?

MICHIKO’s existing information places Made Collagen within a homeopathic skin programme. That is different from assuming that the injection directly replaces the collagen framework of the skin. The clinician should explain the actual formulation and intended purpose. Evidence for homeopathic treatment of specific conditions is limited; benefits should be discussed without promising to cure acne, allergy or melasma.

How does it compare with Sculptra and Karisma?

Sculptra contains PLLA. Karisma is described by its manufacturer as a recombinant collagen-containing formulation with HA and CMC. A Made Collagen programme has to be assessed according to its own ingredients and evidence. These are not interchangeable labels for one mechanism, one price or one expected duration.

What should happen before a course?

Discuss your main concern, previous skincare and medical history first. Ask which ingredient is expected to help, what alternatives exist and how the result will be reviewed. A fixed number of injections should not take the place of an assessment. If symptoms include painful acne, a persistent rash or sudden changes, the first step may be a medical treatment plan.

Care after an injectable programme

Redness, bruising, swelling and small bumps can follow injections. The exact product determines the specific aftercare and contraindications. Avoid rubbing the area unless advised, use a gentle routine and protect the skin from the sun. Do not assume that a natural or homeopathic label rules out allergy, interactions or infection.

A clear explanation is part of good care. At MICHIKO, Dr. Gift and our medical team help you understand the difference between a treatment name and a supported treatment goal, then compare suitable choices for your skin.

Your skin. Your own rhythm.

Start with your concern

Describe what has changed and what you hope to improve. The assessment comes before a programme recommendation.

Understand the options

Compare the approaches that fit your assessment. Understand what each can improve, where its limits lie and whether a simpler first step would suit you.

ASSESS

Discuss the exact method or product, expected benefit, limits, risks and total cost. There is time to decide and room to choose a simpler plan.

PLAN

Keep the conversation open

Know your aftercare, review timing and how to contact the team. Your response helps shape the next step.

CARE

Make space for your questions

MICHIKO · A CLOSER LOOK

Feel prepared.
Know what comes next.

Before your visit

Bring details of previous procedures, current medicines and supplements, allergies and any recent skin reaction. Tell the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Mention work, travel and event dates so the plan can account for recovery and follow-up. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice.

After your treatment

Follow the instructions for the exact product used. Temporary redness, swelling, bumps or bruising may occur. Avoid rubbing or massaging unless specifically advised. Contact the clinic for worsening pain, spreading redness, fever or persistent lumps; sudden vision symptoms or severe pain require urgent medical care.

Review before repeating

Agree on a review point and the change you are hoping to see. Your response, side effects and priorities should guide the next step. Ask for a clear quote covering the proposed product or method, quantity where relevant, and follow-up.

BEFORE YOU VISIT

Your questions.
Space for clear answers.

Does the name mean that collagen is being replaced?

Not necessarily. Ask what the formulation contains and how its intended action is supported.

Can it treat hormonal acne?

Hormonal acne needs assessment and an evidence-based treatment plan. A programme should not promise to correct hormonal causes without supporting evidence.

How often should I repeat it?

The exact formulation, diagnosis and response must guide any schedule. Do not assume that weekly or fortnightly treatment is necessary for everyone.

Where can I discuss this in Bangkok?
