Skin Ageing & Collagen Panel
Understand what's speeding up visible skin ageing, from the inside.
from $149What this test is
This panel looks at the inflammation, collagen-support nutrients and oxidative stress markers that influence how quickly your skin shows fine lines, loss of firmness and dullness. It's a good starting point before any anti-ageing treatment, so your provider knows what your skin is actually working with.
Is this test for you?
- You're noticing fine lines or loss of firmness earlier than expected
- You're considering a collagen-focused treatment, like biostimulators or microneedling
- You want a baseline before starting an anti-ageing programme

Involved in skin healing and collagen production.
Helps cross-link collagen fibres, which keeps skin structurally strong.
An oxidative stress marker linked to how quickly cells age.
Very low or very high iron can both show up as dull, tired-looking skin.

After your results
A clinician reads every marker against your age, symptoms and goals, then writes a plain-language report with a protocol you can act on. If treatment is recommended, your results travel with you to a certified Aesthetics BioCare provider, so nothing needs re-explaining.
