Benefits of Skincare Treatments

The Role of Collagen and Elastin in Skin Health

Some skincare treatments can boost the production of collagen, which is vital to vibrant, youthful skin. Well-moisturized skin is flexible and resilient, while dry skin is prone to damage. Skin relies on two proteins to maintain its youthful appearance: collagen and elastin.

Collagen helps tissues withstand stretching, resulting in plump, durable skin. It is the most abundant protein in the skin. Elastin helps tissues stretch and bounce back when you smile or frown. It forms bundles of elastic fibers that make skin strong and flexible.

Factors Impacting Skin’s Youthful Appearance

Working together, collagen and elastin give skin a taut, voluminous look. Factors such as aging, hormones, health, and environmental influences like smoking and sun damage can affect skin’s moisture and weaken its proteins, decreasing youthful, healthy appearance.

Skincare Treatments That Boost Collagen Production

It’s impossible to stop the natural aging process and reverse time, but skin rejuvenation is possible through boosting proteins. Many treatments, such as laser therapy, peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, and stem cell facials, trick the skin into thinking it needs to repair a wound, creating microscopic fibroblasts of collagen to support and rebuild dermal tissue.

Prescription-quality retinol creams and stem cell products encourage cell turnover and help to exfoliate and hydrate skin while resisting sagging and wrinkles.
