Techniques to Stimulate Collagen Production
As you get older, the natural effects of age as well as environmental factors like sunlight can make you develop more and more wrinkles. This occurs as an important skin component called collagen becomes older and less widespread. Collagen is a structural protein in the skin that contributes strength and elasticity.
By rejuvenating collagen production, you can help tighten your skin and reduce wrinkles. There are several skincare techniques that doctors and trained aestheticians can use to help you stimulate collagen production. To learn more about collagen-stimulating treatments as well as other methods to decrease wrinkles, contact the Houston medical spa Dermagenix today at 713-662-3376.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a structural protein that is part of the connective tissue in the body. It is fibrous in nature and acts like the glue of the body, present in everything from muscles to teeth. In the skin, collagen is present mostly outside of the cells, in the extracellular matrix. Here, it helps hold the skin smooth and firm. Collagen is an important part of skin’s strength and resilience.
Stimulating Collagen
As you age, the collagen present in your skin can degrade, and your skin becomes less likely to produce new collagen to replace the old. This allows your skin to sag and become wrinkly. Fortunately, though, there are several skincare techniques that can stimulate collagen production, including:
- Titan skin tightening
- Laser Genesis
- Radiesse injections
- Vibradermabrasion
- Chemical Peels
- Microdermabrasion
At Dermagenix, we can help you with any of these techniques to keep your skin smooth and strong.
