Sorry to spoil it- but collagen cannot be found at the bottom of a jarš¤·āāļø.
Collagen starts at the cellular level. You stop producing collagen around the age of 25. After that - you lose about 1% yearly.
So how do we go about generating collagen? Through controlled procedural trauma response.
My top 3 collagen inducing treatments are:
1.) Sculptra- a biostimulator, minimally invasive. We usually recommend a loading dose of one vial per decade of life and then 2 vials- annually. I like to place Sculptra posterior on the face and in the temples. Some studies suggest routine Sculptra use can prevent/ delay the need for a facelift.
2.) Microneedling- like Morpheus 8. This utilizes gold plated sterile needles and radio-frequency to stimulate collagen production with minimal downtime. We usually recommend a series of three sessions spaced once a month for collagen induction and then once annually to keep results going.
3.) Laser therapies! Fractionated, non-fractionated, ablative and nonablative laser therapies are excellent ways to generate collagen. My favorite laser therapies include BBL, MOXI, and erbium treatments. Moxi is our nonablative laser that works more on the surface area. Whereas our Erbium is an ablative laser (a controlled burn) that goes deeper and resets the skin.
Thereās no right or wrong pick for collagen banking. We can help guide you- however in making the best choice for you!
Have a wonderful Friday friends!
