Two clients, two incredible Collagen Lift transformations! Discover how Holly from Beauty by Holly Nicole became a two-time Transformation of the Year 2026 finalist, with impressive facial rejuvenation results developing over six months of treatments and maintenance.

What if the secret to firmer, more youthful-looking skin wasn’t a dramatic change, but a series of gradual improvements? SkinBase Collagen Lift is helping clients achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation without needles or surgery. We caught up with Holly from Beauty by Holly Nicole, a two-time SkinBase Transformation of the Year 2026 finalist, to discover the story behind her incredible Collagen Lift results.

Collagen Lift Facial Transformations

SkinBase Collagen Lift is a non-invasive radio frequency facial treatment that helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and skin laxity. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, the treatment encourages firmer, smoother-looking skin. Results can develop progressively throughout a course of treatments, with regular maintenance appointments helping to support long-term improvements.

Meet Holly from Beauty by Holly Nicole

Holly founded Beauty by Holly Nicole in 2018, in the dining room of her house. Since then, her beauty career has flourished, and she now runs a successful salon in Dorking, Surrey.

I was working in a finance job which quite frankly, I hated. I knew that with my growing family I didn’t want to be stuck in that job. So, going from not being in the industry at all to retraining, I’m really proud of that.

Holly became a SkinBase Therapist in November 2020 with the Microdermabrasion, and now also offers Hydro, Collagen Lift and IPL.

How Does Collagen Lift Improve Facial Skin?

As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that help maintain firmness and elasticity. This can lead to fine lines, wrinkles and a loss of definition in the face.

SkinBase Collagen Lift uses radio frequency energy to improve the appearance of the skin, and is an excellent option if you are looking for gradual, natural-looking facial rejuvenation without needles or surgery.

They weren’t a candidate for filler and they also didn’t really comfortable doing that, so I knew from the get-go that Collagen Lift would be a suitable treatment for both of them.

Real Results: Collagen Lift Facial Transformations

Holly’s two finalist clients approached her with similar concerns about their facial appearance, particularly heaviness beneath the eyes. Both were looking for a non-invasive approach to improving their skin. Following individual consultations, Holly recommended SkinBase Collagen Lift to help improve overall facial skin firmness and achieve natural-looking rejuvenation.

Each client completed a course of six and has then come back every six weeks for the last six months.

The before-and-after photographs highlight the gradual improvements achieved throughout their treatment journeys, earning Holly two places in the SkinBase Transformation of the Year 2026 final!

When Will You See Results from Collagen Lift?

One of the biggest benefits of Collagen Lift is that results can develop progressively throughout a course of treatments. While some clients may notice an immediate improvement in their skin’s appearance, collagen and elastin production takes time.

You obviously see an improvement with the skin but personally I feel like I could see the best results a bit further down the line. My after pictures are after six months.

Holly’s experience highlights the importance of patience and consistency when working towards natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

Collagen Lift: The Importance of Maintenance

Completing your initial course of Collagen Lift treatments is a key part of your treatment journey, but maintaining your results matters too. As the natural ageing process continues, regular maintenance appointments can help support the improvements achieved during your course.

Both of Holly’s clients returned every six weeks for maintenance treatments over six months. This allowed Holly to continue monitoring their skin and support their facial rejuvenation goals.

Skincare Habits for Healthy-Looking Skin

Alongside their Collagen Lift courses, Holly encouraged both clients to make positive changes to their everyday habits. They increased their water intake and followed personalised skincare routines recommended by Holly, continuing these habits every single day.

The number one skincare tip for me personally is to make sure that you drink lots of water. I can definitely tell which clients don’t drink much water as it shows in their skin and of course to wear an SPF every day.

Documenting Progress: Before and Afters

When changes happen gradually, it can be difficult to recognise how much your skin has improved. That’s why Holly believes before-and-after photographs are an important part of the Collagen Lift journey.

I was conscious to make sure that I got before and afters in the same room of the clinic with the same lighting because it was really useful when you put the before and afters next to each other and you could really highlight the differences.

Celebrating Two Incredible Collagen Lift Transformations

Becoming a SkinBase Transformation of the Year finalist is a fantastic achievement, particularly for Holly, who has now earned two places in the 2026 final! Holly said:

I feel really proud to have two entries in the final, from someone that started running the business from their house to now owning a salon in the local town with the potential of winning an award is really something special.

The competition has also helped Holly introduce more clients to SkinBase treatments. By sharing her finalist achievements on social media and displaying her awards in the salon, she has encouraged conversations about Collagen Lift.

Her two transformations highlight how consistency, personalised treatment plans and regular maintenance can help clients work towards firmer, smoother-looking skin.

Could Collagen Lift Be Right for You?

If you’ve noticed fine lines, wrinkles or a loss of firmness in your skin, SkinBase Collagen Lift could be worth exploring. This non-invasive radio frequency treatment helps improve the appearance of skin laxity and texture, encouraging a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
