What is Collagen banking?
🌟Collagen banking is a proactive approach to skin health that involves stimulating and preserving collagen, the protein that provides skin with firmness and elasticity, to maintain youthful-looking skin for longer. It’s essentially about building a “reserve” of collagen, ideally starting in your mid-twenties to early thirties, before collagen production naturally declines.
What it is: Collagen banking is not about physically storing collagen but rather about boosting and maintaining its levels in the skin through various methods.
How it works: Collagen banking involves a combination of:
🌟 Topical treatments:�Using products with ingredients like retinoids, peptides, and acids, which can stimulate collagen production in the skin. ��🌟 Supplements:�Ingesting collagen supplements, which are believed to help boost collagen levels from within. ��🌟 Lifestyle choices:�Protecting your skin from sun damage (a major factor in collagen breakdown) and maintaining a healthy lifestyle that supports overall skin health. ��🌟 In-clinic treatments:
🌟 Aesplla aesPlla® provides a natural-looking solution to volume loss, utilising PLLA to stimulate collagen production for gradual volumisation and rejuvenation. The treatment is ideal for patients 30+ who are concerned with skin ageing, dermal deficiencies, laxity and areas prone to volume loss, such as the cheeks, temples, nasolabial and marionette lines.
🌟 RF Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that combines the benefits of microneedling with the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy. It involves using tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. This dual action stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and improved skin texture.
🌟 Polynucleotides stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness, elasticity and texture. They promote tissue regeneration and repair, helping with scars and stretch marks. Polynucleotides can help protect the skin from oxidative stress, which contributes to aging.
