Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that holds tissues together and supports the skin matrix. Collagen, with its adhesive function, holds tissues together and, working alongside elastin protein, increases the strength and elasticity of the skin. The production of collagen in the body starts to drop by the age of 25, and existing levels of collagen also decline due to external factors like an unhealthy diet, cigarette smoking, and excess sun exposure.
As collagen levels decrease, the skin matrix is impaired, triggering early signs of aging. This is where collagen injections come into play. Injected collagen replenishes the skin's natural collagen to counteract the effects of aging.
Collagen injections are not just for the face but can also be used on the neck, body, and hands. This treatment option will reduce hyperpigmentation caused by aging to balance the skin color tone, increase skin elasticity, and stimulate collagen production in affected regions, allowing patients to regain their natural skin texture.
