Everything needs a structure. Your skin gets its structure—and its strength—from a fibrous protein called collagen. About 80 percent of your skin consists of collagen fibers. Collagen works in tangent with another protein, elastin, which provides skin its flexibility—its ability to stretch and then “spring back” to its original shape. Unfortunately, aging and sun exposure weaken collagen, eventually leading to some of the most tell-tale signs of advancing years: lines, wrinkles, and folds.
Several non-surgical skin treatments can help you can slow down and even reverse the breakdown of collagen in your skin. For example, laser therapy, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels can help stimulate the creation of new collagen. And dermal fillers can be strategically used to replenish lost natural collagen. New, more effective collagen-enhancing treatments and products become available every year. To learn about the wide variety of options available to you—and to determine which of the latest options is truly best for your skin—schedule a personal consultation with your physician. Do it today. Time—and the breakdown of your skin’s collagen—marches on!
