What is Collagen Stimulation?
Collagen, a structural protein found in the skin, is responsible for its elasticity, firmness, and overall youthful appearance. As individuals age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to the development of wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging.
Various techniques and treatments are employed in cosmetic medicine to stimulate collagen production. These methods can be categorized into non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. Non-invasive techniques include topical treatments, such as retinoids, which have been shown to promote collagen synthesis.
Minimally invasive procedures, such as microneedling and laser therapy, are also widely used to enhance collagen stimulation.
In addition to these techniques, injectable treatments such as Sculptra, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers (Radiesse), and PDO threads can stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin quality and a more youthful appearance.
