Stimulate Collagen Naturally for Youthful Skin
Wisdom may come with age, but so does a decline in collagen production. Collagen is essential to youthful looking skin and as we age, we produce less of it. That’s why wrinkles, lines, and loose skin begin to appear. There are multiple dermatologist-recommended treatments available to support the natural stimulation of collagen.
What to Avoid
First, let’s talk about what not to do. First, quit smoking. It restricts blood vessels and deprives your skin of essential nutrients and oxygen.
Next, lower your alcohol consumption. If you do drink, make sure you stay well hydrated while doing so.
Finally, (yes, we know you hear it all the time) but wear your sunscreen. Sun damage is one of the leading causes of visible signs of aging. Now, let’s talk about the top dermatologist recommended treatments for stimulating collagen naturally.
PRF Gel
PRF, or platelet rich fibrin, uses the growth factors from your own blood to trigger new collagen production. This reduces wrinkles naturally, improves skin firmness and texture.
Biostimulator Injectables
Bio fillers can help stimulate collagen production over time. Sculptra and Radiesse are the best, most well-known ways to boost collagen production locally.
Sculptra
This biostimulator is a poly-L-lactic acid injectable. It helps stimulate your natural collagen production to smooth wrinkles, improve skin tightness and reveal a more youthful appearance. Sculptra is a quick and easy treatment. You can see results within a few weeks. This injectable also offers long-lasting results, with most lasting up to 2 years.
While it was designed to treat the face, Sculptra is used off label in other areas of the body.
