Collagen stimulation

Col­la­gen is the struc­tu­ral pro­te­in that gives skin its firm­ness. From around the age of 25 its con­tent decrea­ses every year, the skin beco­mes thin­ner and loses firm­ness. Col­la­gen sti­mu­la­ti­on descri­bes all pro­ce­du­res that prompt the body to build new collagen.

Appli­ca­ti­on

The­se include micro­need­ling, radio­fre­quen­cy, frac­tion­al lasers, ultra­sound and cer­tain fil­lers based on cal­ci­um hydro­xyla­pa­ti­te or poly-L-lac­tic acid. What they have in com­mon is a con­trol­led sti­mu­lus to which the tis­sue responds by rebuilding.

Good to know

Buil­ding col­la­gen takes time. The result usual­ly only beco­mes visi­ble after eight to twel­ve weeks and impro­ves over seve­ral months. Anyo­ne expec­ting an imme­dia­te chan­ge will be dis­ap­poin­ted by the­se procedures.
