Most of you that have been in my chair have heard me talk about the collagen stimulating effects of procedures like Sculptra, PRF and Microneedling, but did you know there are things you can do to help it along? Here are some simple tips to help ensure you’re getting the best results possible! ⬇️
OPTIMIZE PROTEIN INTAKE
Protein, particularly the amino acids found in sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based options, provides the building blocks needed for this collagen synthesis. Consuming an adequate amount of protein helps ensure the body has the necessary resources to rebuild and strengthen the skin’s structure, leading to more effective and long-lasting results from the treatment. Additionally, protein supports overall skin health & aids in tissue repair.
ADD IN A BIOAVAILABLE COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT
These drinks contain high-quality collagen peptides, which are easily absorbed by the body and promote the synthesis of collagen in the skin. In addition to collagen, drinks like Skinade also includes essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, which is crucial for collagen formation, as well as biotin and Omega-3 fatty acids, which help improve skin elasticity and hydration. Can you tell we have a favorite? 😆
SUPPLEMENT WITH VITAMIN C
Without adequate vitamin C, collagen synthesis is impaired, leading to weaker skin, increased wrinkles, and slower healing. Additionally, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, helping protect the skin from environmental damage, which can lead to further collagen loss over time.
SUPPORT WITH SKIN CARE
Topical products that include vitamin C, peptides, and retinoids can directly stimulate collagen production and protect existing collagen fibers from breakdown. Exfoliating regularly removes dead skin cells, allowing for better absorption of these beneficial ingredients, while sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays that can speed up collagen loss. Consistency is key!
