Patient's Guide™ to Collagen

The Patient's Guide™ to Collagen is the most respected online publication providing information about aged and damaged skin, skin care treatments, and laser medicine. Our mission is to provide you with unbiased, scientifically accurate information about wrinkles and fine lines, as well as potential treatments. The information published on Collagen.org is written and provided by some of America's foremost dermatologists and skin care experts. Information provided by individuals on Collagen.org should be considered opinion and cannot replace the advice of and consultation with a physician, but
can be educational and help inform you.

Doctor Supervised Collagen Injection Providers

The goal of the Patient's Guide™ to Collagen is to provide quality information about injectable treatments, laser treatments, and other skin care methods, as
well as a list of physicians who offer treatment for aging skin near you. There are an abundance of treatments marketed today, both for in-home use as well
as in spa and clinics, which claim to be highly effective at treating or 'repairing' aged skin. The best option is, and always has been, to consult with a physician with the experience and knowledge of the skin to treat you. These professionals are the most likely to give you the range of options available to you and help you form a treatment course which will give you results you can be satisfied with. To find a board-certified physician, you may use our Find a Doctor locator service.

Rebuilding and Improving Collagen

Collagen is a fibrous protein that is makes up a large portion of the connective tissues in our bodies. As we age our skin tissue loses its strength and elasticity, resulting in less than healthy looking skin. Our age does not have to dictate how healthy our skin looks, however. The more sun exposure our skin receives, the more damage is done to the collagen and elastin, the two main proteins of our skin. Science is working to repair this damage. The last several years have seen a huge leap forward in our ability to improve aged skin with laser treatments, dermal fillers, and other technologies which improve and stimulate new collagen protein development. This website is dedicated to helping people improve their skin through better information and education.
