Supporting Role: A Youthful Face Depends on Collagen<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt starts in our twenties,\u201d notes Rebecca Sklar<\/a>, a certified registered physician assistant specializing in dermatology with Advanced Dermatology PC<\/a>. \u201cThe thought of wrinkles may be years away, but the collagen that keeps our skin wrinkle-free has already started to decline.\u201d As our body\u2019s most abundant protein, collagen is a connective fiber that plays a key role supporting our bones, muscles and skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollagen builds the framework that our skin rests on,\u201d explains Sklar. \u201cAs we lose our supply of collagen, that underlying framework is diminished, and our skin settles into the resulting crevices. What we see are wrinkles.\u201d Dermatologists\u2019 awareness of collagen\u2019s integral role in maintaining taut skin has triggered an evolution in treatments over the decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifty years ago, early interventions to restore collagen involved animal collagen,\u201d says Sklar, \u201cand early procedures ran higher risks of allergic reactions. We\u2019ve seen incredible advances since then, with a trend toward treatments that harness the body\u2019s own collagen production. We\u2019ve also learned how combining procedures can maximize results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of today\u2019s choices are minimally invasive,\u201d continues Sklar, \u201cand, with bio-identical materials and by stimulating the body\u2019s own collagen production, there is a decreased risk of allergic reactions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New improved options have seen growing demand, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reporting more than 2.7 million dermal-filler injections alone in 2019, in addition to other collagen-stimulating procedures.<\/p>\n

Today, there is an extensive menu of choices,\u201d observes Sklar, \u201cfrom surface stimulating treatments such as microneedling to injectables like Sculptra. These increased options offer patients more of an opportunity to customize their treatment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To optimize the latest collagen-replacing procedures, Sklar has the following suggestions:<\/h3>\n

Five Tips to Maximize the Power of Collagen<\/h4>\n

1. Make the most of fillers: \u201cToday\u2019s fillers,\u201d shares Sklar, \u201cinclude options such as Radiesse, which adds volume and also boosts collagen, as well as Sculptra, which stimulates the body\u2019s own collagen production and is then absorbed. Patients can consider their own preference in terms of the level of intervention and their desired results.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Jumpstart your collagen with a surface treatment: \u201cMicrodermabrasion, microneedling, lasers, radiofrequency, ultrasound,\u201d lists Sklar. \u201cThese surface treatments extend below to trigger our skin\u2019s replenishment of collagen. We\u2019ve seen great results with options such as the Fraxel laser, Ultherapy ultrasound, Thermage radiofrequency, and Intensif Microneedling, which pairs microneedling with radiofrequency. Your specialist can help you choose the approach that\u2019s the best fit for you, considering factors like cost, the number of treatments needed, and the expected duration of results.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Synergize to max your results: \u201cCombining techniques can be more than a one-plus-one gain,\u201d advises Sklar. \u201cBotox paired with fillers or collagen-stimulating treatments can boost the overall impact, improving on individual results. Likewise, Collagen P.I.N. combines microneedling stimulation with hyaluronic acid, another key substance our skin needs to maintain firmness.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Remember the essentials: \u201cThe sun plays a big role in our loss of collagen,\u201d emphasizes Sklar, \u201cso to make the most of any treatments, it\u2019s important to stay vigilant: Not just sunscreen, but cover-ups and seeking shade.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Choose your specialist with care: \u201cFaces are complex,\u201d observes Sklar. \u201cThere are more than forty muscles, and each individual has a unique structure. There is also the need to establish clear communication about goals and expected results. It is crucial to work with someone who has expertise and with whom you feel comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recent breakthroughs in collagen treatments,\u201d concludes Sklar, \u201cmeans it\u2019s not too late to address the aging that started when we were young.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
