Treatments that stimulate more collagen production in Reno
If your skin is starting to sag or you notice more fine lines, it’s collagen — or lack thereof. Collagen is king in skincare because it is the structural protein that gives our skin that plump, youthful appearance.
So, how can you stimulate your body to produce MORE collagen? That’s what this blog is all about. Read on for 5 aesthetic treatments that encourage collagen production naturally within your body, plus other collagen information you want to know. Let’s get started.
What is collagen and why is it important to beauty?
It’s easy to explain collagen and its purpose when you refer to it as our “body’s scaffolding.” Collagen is a structural protein that quite literally holds up our skin and keeps it firm and supple. Our bodies naturally produce collage, but it can also be absorbed from plant and animal sources.
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen year over year, welcoming those unwanted wrinkles and sagging skin. This decline starts as early as our early 20’s, declining about 1% per year.
Aesthetic Services that Stimulate Collagen Production
Now that you know how important collagen is to our appearance, let’s talk about ways that you can boost your collagen production here at The Beauty Collective.
Facial Fillers, like Restylane
Dermal fillers are one of our most popular treatments and some, like Restylane, also help produce collagen! More than a million Americans receive dermal filler injections annually. Fillers help people fill in wrinkles and can contour the face and profile by adding extra volume.
Once injected, Restylane stimulates the skin to produce collagen. How? Its key ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in our skin and connective tissues.
PDO Threads
PDO Threads are best described as a non-surgical facelift. Thread facelifts help restore facial structure by lifting and tightening the skin to reduce the visible signs of aging without surgery. Better yet, once in place, PDO threads encourage the body to produce new collagen around the thread, providing a more youthful glow for months to come.
Microneedling
Another go-to and effective aesthetic treatment for collagen production is microneedling. Here at The Beauty Collective, we use the only FDA-approved microneedling device, the SkinPen®. During a treatment, the SkinPen creates thousands of tiny pokes into the top layers of skin, naturally triggering a healing process that produces collagen and elastin. For enhanced results, we recommend coupling our microneedling with our growth factor therapy.
Designer Facials, like Aquagold
Similar to microneedling, some of our most advanced facials also ignite collagen production. Our AquaGold® Fine Touch™ facial device is an FDA approved micro-injector with 24 karat gold needles that create tiny punctures to stimulate collage, but meanwhile also depositing skin-loving product beneath the skin’s surface like Botox, hyaluronic acid, growth factors, retinol, vitamin C, antioxidants, anti-aging serums, vitamins, and growth factors.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
Yes, collagen is vitally important down under too! Collagen boosts the appearance of our skin, but also improves our overall skin health. Our state-of-the-art, non-invasive FemiLift™ device delivers energy into vaginal tissue that stimulates a healing response, resulting in vaginal collagen remodeling. This treatment helps patients dealing with vaginal dryness, post childbirth, decreased laxity or sensitivity and even painful intercourse.
