C-COLLAGEN
Today we discuss C for Collagen. What is this magic structure and why is it so important in maintaining youth and vitality…..Read on…….
Skin ageing is a part of a natural human “aging mosaic” which becomes evident and follows different paths in different organs, tissues and cells with time. While the ageing signs of internal organs are masked from the ambient “eyes,” the skin provides first obvious marks of the passing time. Three primary structural components of the dermis, COLLAGEN and ELASTIN have been the subjects of the majority of anti-aging research and efforts for aesthetic-anti-aging strategies pertaining to the skin, from ”anti-wrinkle creams” to various filling agents such as Hyaluronic Acid. Presentation of ageing of the entire face is associated with the gravity impact, muscles action, loss of volume, diminishing and redistribution of superficial and deep fat, loss of bony skeleton support what all together lead to the face sagging, changes in shape and contour. |
The desired therapeutic anti-ageing effect of the skin is continuous, step-by step process, which combines various methods of the skin bio-revitalization and rejuvenation, augmentation, restoration of each skin layer individually and in the light of many other factors. |
1. What role does collagen play in our skin? |
Collagen is actually a protein that is found everywhere in our bodies – but when it comes to your skin, what’s important to understand is that collagen fibers are like a bunch of sturdy, Roman columns placed close together, holding up the top layer of skin. When you’re young and healthy, the columns are strong, straight, and plentiful, so skin looks smooth. That’s because your skin contains collagen-making machines called fibroblasts that churn out new collagen. |
2. What causes collagen to deplete in our bodies? |
The good news is that your body produces it on a regular basis. But, it does slow down with age. After the age of 28, we lose about 1 percent of our collagen each year. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and more lines and wrinkles appear. Other lifestyle habits that can bring collagen production to a screeching halt include smoking, sun exposure, and an unhealthy diet. Some health conditions may also deplete your collagen storage. And without this important building block, you may start to see wrinkles and sagging skin. |
3. What happens to your collagen during menopause? |
Menopause causes many changes to your skin. Your body stops making as much collagen. You lose some fat under your skin and your skin’s elasticity drops. That, combined with dryness caused by hormonal changes, can cause sagging — especially around the neck, jawline, and cheeks — and fine lines and wrinkles. Emepelle is a new treatment here at the clinic and I have been on this protocol for 2 weeks now and I can honetly say this is amazing for my skin. Yes I am a huge ZO fan however this product packs a punch. I know my ingredients in skin and my large skin background makes me a great researcher of the best of the best. |
Redefine Skin Ageing- EMEPELLE As you approach and go through menopause, oestrogen levels decline, causing accelerated collagen loss and skin ageing. That’s why so many women see their appearance change rapidly during menopause. The good news is, you can take control and regain skin confidence with Emepelle®. |
So what can we do to help prevent our ageing face from even more collagen loss???…… Here I put together a Prevention and Treatment plan |

PRP It has been shown that PRP may induce the synthesis of collagen by stimulating the activation of fibroblasts, thus, rejuvenating the skin While natural ageing is genetically determined, extrinsic ageing can be prevented. Aesthetic dermatology to which we do here at Renu should contribute to “healthy ageing” not only in cosmetic means by trying to erase time vestiges in skin but by also playing a significant part in prevention, regeneration, and delaying of skin ageing. |
