What is ProDermaCol?

ProDermaCol is the latest professional dermal collagen product to hit the Australian market. Housed under Optimisation Group Pty Ltd., ProDermaCol was developed off the back of 25+ years of protein supplementation expertise supplying post-surgery patients and hospitals with inpatient dietary care. Its product seeks to provide an effective ingestible collagen offering to the aesthetics industry.

ProDermaCol is manufactured using the highest grade of collagen available from Germany. OptiCol35®, the company’s proprietary hydrolysed bovine collagen, forms the foundation for ProDermaCol, blended with dermal-supportive ingredients. The formula was developed after conducting extensive market research, referring to medical studies, and engaging in feedback from dermal therapists.

ProDermaCol is manufactured in Australia under the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code (FSANZ). Its ingredient formula conforms with both the Nutrient Reference Values for Australia and New Zealand (updated 2017) , and the Australian Food Standards Code. ProDermaCol also operates in accordance with the Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point (HACCP Australia) certification.

ProDermaCol oversees the entire manufacturing process to ensure every ingredient, batch, and final product has been inspected and quality- controlled, and without the use of third-party facilities.

The product is housed in highly professional, neutral product packaging to complement your business and skincare retail offerings.

ProDermaCol = Professional Dermal Collagen

ProDermaCol is a natural collagen-booster supplement containing scientifically-backed ingredients, minus the artificial additives.

Within every sachet is a potent blend of Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides combined with efficacious Vitamin C, Vitamin A (as retinol equivalents), Vitamin E, Biotin, Hyaluronic Acid, Coenzyme Q10, and Zinc. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to enhance recovery from dermal treatments and promote skin rejuvenation, in-clinic and at home – a holistic approach to dermal health and rejuvenation.

Bovine Collagen primarily contains collagen Types I and III – the former providing strength and structure to the skin, the latter supporting greater cardiovascular health. When combined, the skin and tissue health is enhanced. When hydrolysed, collagen peptides offer vastly improved absorption and bioavailability due to their smaller peptide size compared to standard collagen.

ProDermaCol can be added to drinks and food. Once diluted, the collagen powder supplement is largely tasteless – making it a perfect addition to your daily smoothie or coffee. Otherwise, enjoy its benefits in a stand-alone drink mixed with water. For a touch of flavour, try ProDermalCol in Natural Lemon.

Professional Partners

With a history of working alongside dieticians and in private practices, the team at ProDermaCol understand the benefits of developing synergistic professional partnerships. Therefore, ProDermaCol is committed to ensuring its product’s professional representation and efficacy.

ProDermaCol offers partnerships with aesthetic professionals in the dermal treatment industry, including beauty salons, dermal therapists, skin and laser clinics, medi spas, aesthetic medical practitioners, and plastic surgeons. ProDermaCol does not supply supermarkets, health stores, pharmacies, or bulk online discount websites. All ProDermaCol online specials are offered to partners in advance to incentivise their own clients. An affiliate program is also available for partners who promote ProDermaCol products online – suitable for tech savvy stockists looking to earn a commission without the hassle of product handling or dispatch.

ProDermCol has a long shelf life with an affordable retail price point, providing a great return on investment with a 90% markup. Monday-Friday dispatch is available to partners Australia-wide. In addition, ProDermaCol can be offered as in-clinic treatment shots. This unique approach enables your clients to begin their recovery journey prior to any dermal treatment, leading to simplified and trusted retailing of the brand.

How and when did you first learn about ProDermaCol?

“I was invited to help develop and then trial ProDermaCol in the development stages of the product. I offer advanced skin treatments and was looking to provide my clients with an effective ingestible collagen to complement their post-dermal treatments and topical skincare regimens. Being involved with a product created specifically for our industry was amazing.”

What drew you to the brand initially?

“The name says it all! Professional Dermal Collagen. I love the name, branding and packaging as it complements my skincare range and clinic. Moreover, ProDermaCol is specifically formulated for our aesthetic dermal industry, making it ideal for my upmarket clinic and clients.

I only look to offer premium, complementary products to my in-clinic services. ProDermaCol matched my standards, as it’s a premium, clean collagen supplement with the ingredients we in the industry know are essential for optimum dermal recovery.

I also love that the brand is not available in chemists, supermarkets or on beauty websites that could undercut our clinic margins. I don’t want to waste my time building a market to then have my clients buy it elsewhere. I’m quite tech savvy, so I value that the ProDermaCol affiliate program is running in the background while we focus on in-clinic sales. Plus, ProDermaCol can handle the orders and delivery for me! They pay me a commission on the sales I make from my social posts and website.”

The modern market is flooded with ingestible beauty and wellness supplements. How does ProDermaCol stand out against its competitors?

“There are so many collagen products out there! I believe ProDermaCol stands out as the only logical choice for our dermal treatment industry.

ProDermaCol is manufactured with the HACCP certification and under the New Zealand Food Standards Code. I’ve learned that all its ingredients and respective quantities are safe and regulated. It leads me to question: how I could know if an imported collagen, dosages and ingredients are safe?

All claims made by ProDermaCol are legally outlined without hype or unsubstantiated therapeutic input, which can commonly occur amongst collagen products. Given the business has 25+ years of experience with proteins supplying hospitals and post-surgery patients, onboarding ProDemaCol came with confidence.

ProDermaCol is as neutrally-flavoured as possible without a foul taste; Neutral flavour tastes like water once fully dissolved, and Natural Lemon tastes great without being too strong. I’ve found ProDemaCol to be affordable, too. I make $40 per sale, giving me a great return on investment. It’s a nice add-on to the skincare I sell, without being too expensive. I think ProDermaCol sits at the right price point at $89 for a month’s worth of product.

When I was first introduced to ProDemaCol’s Mark Woodley, he said he was determined to provide the industry with a protected product in respect of a non-compete with clinic partners like me, and not supply the mass retailers or discount websites. I like that if ProDermaCol sells at the same price as me and if they do a special, I get offered the same discount a few weeks prior so I can also pass on the discount to my clients without losing any money or having clients buy at ridiculous discounts elsewhere.

The concept of ProDermaCol in-clinic shots is great, as I can offer my clients the benefits of ProDermaCol prior to their treatment. It also makes the after-treatment sale easier, as they are introduced to the product by way of sampling. I then talk clients through how the supplement can aid their post-treatment recovery. Clients will regularly ask for the product at check-out.”

Bovine v marine collagen – why choose bovine?

“ProDermaCol’s evidence shows that bovine collagen outsells marine collagen by 99.5%! This is due to a range of reasons for consumers: fish allergies, the taste of marine collagen, and oftentimes higher price point.”

How has ProDermaCol educated you on its product?

“Having been involved in the early development stages, I learnt a lot about ProDermalCol’s scientifically-backed ingredients. I also learnt about how collagen becomes important with ageing, especially if optimum recovery from dermal treatments is the goal. Clinic partners have access to information about all ProDermaCol ingredients, as well as studies conducted for each.”

How do you educate your clients on the ProDermaCol ritual and how to interweave the product into their beauty regimes?

“I offer each client a ProDermaCol shot before their treatment and explain the basics of how it can assist their recovery. A ProDermaCol brochure containing key points sits in my reception area, too. Most clients already know they need to supplement with collagen daily due to the natural fall in the body’s collagen production with age.”

As ProDermaCol is a new product that you have introduced to your clinic, what benefits do you expect to see?

“As most of us in the dermal industry understand, collagen supplementation requires at least six weeks to show substantiated impacts. If taken regularly after that six weeks, the full benefits begin to show. The benefit of ProDermaCol is that its formula aids treatment recovery with collagen supplementation. I am seeing some clients healing more rapidly from treatments than I would have otherwise expected. The ingredient formulation is directly beneficial to skin health and recovery. Each of my clients are wanting the fastest and most effective recovery from their dermal treatments.”

What’s your preferred way to consume ProDermaCol powders?

“I like to add the Neutral flavour to my coffee. It’s fully dissolvable and I can’t taste it at all. Once the weather heats up, I’ll be enjoying the refreshing Natural Lemon with water and ice.”

Why do you believe that ingestible products like ProDermaCol should be a part of a salon/clinic’s offering?

“Our industry is about making clients look and feel their best. We all promote skincare systems as part of our business, so it only makes sense that we also offer them an ingestible solution that benefits the treated skin and all over.

I am cautious about the many ingestible offerings in the market, as I’ve found many to carry inadequate information or don’t have the science behind them that I need to feel comfortable recommending it to my clients.

ProDermaCol gives my clinic the credibility of a brand dedicated to dermal treatment recovery.”
