Skin is the largest organ in the human body and is integral to the body’s overall health and well-being. One of the main functions of the skin is to act as a protective barrier to external factors. One of the key factors is collagen.
With age, collagen becomes more cross-linked and rigid, weakening the skin’s framework so that it forms wrinkles. Wounds heal more slowly and the skin thins, leaving the skin vulnerable to external aggressors.
Throughout its layers, the skin is made up of different components, including water, lipids, and proteins. Within the skin’s dermal foundation, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid work together to help bring balance to the skin’s function.
Elastin, which has the property of being elastic, enables the skin to stretch and bounce back.
Hyaluronic acid works like a sponge to absorb and retain moisture within the skin.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. It makes up 70-80% of the skin composition, with most of it found in the dermis. With age, collagen levels deteriorate and start to become visibly apparent in our mid-30’s and more so in our mid-40’s. Studies show that women’s skin loses one-third of its collagen during the onset of menopause and continues to gradually decline every year. This sets the stage for preventive care in your 20’s and 30’s, restorative care in your 40’s and 50’s, and corrective care thereafter.Maximizing the skin’s moisture-retention capabilities keep the skin resilient, hydrated, and supple, leading to healthier looking skin.
Boosting Collagen for Optimal Results
Improving the skin’s foundation is a pivotal step in any modern approach to skin care…and it all begins with collagen! Consider all the different types of treatments offered by spas, cosmetic clinics, or dermatologists – facials, injectables, light therapy, laser services, skin tightening, collagen remodelling, skin resurfacing, and micro-needling. All of these services use different techniques to promote collagen synthesis for healthier, youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of Collagen
Ideal for premature aging, dehydrated skin, damaged skin, and corrective treatments
High collagen concentration reduces signs of aging and damage with daily care
Penetrates deep into the skin’s surface to improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity
Synthesizes cellular production of collagen to support skin recovery
Augments anti-aging, photo-rejuvenation, skin tightening, skin resurfacing, and collagen remodelling treatments
Ultimately, collagen provides the structural integrity that gives the skin its strength and resilience.Skin treated with collagen undergoes an improvement in skin hydration, moisture-retention, resilience, density, texture, and clarity. Healthy skin is beautiful skin!
We are committed to continue a legacy devoted to nourishing and building the skin with solutions that lead to healthier skin, whether for everyday use or post-clinical treatment care.
