BOOST YOUR COLLAGEN LEVELS

WITH FOREVER YOUNG BBL, MICRONEEDLING, AND ULTHERAPY.

As you may know, collagen is an important protein in your body and exists particularly in the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Many of you may wonder what collagen can do for you and what the benefits are. Collagen is good for maintaining the health and integrity of many tissues in the body. When collagen levels are high, the skin is soft, smooth, and firm due to the fact that collagen assists skin cells in self-renewal and healing.

However, collagen levels decrease over time. As a person gets older, their body makes less collagen, and the collagen that is still there is of lower quality. That’s when wrinkles and other skin issues begin to appear. This leads us to think: wouldn’t we look younger if our skin produced more collagen?

In this blog, we will discuss the causes and symptoms of collagen loss along with some solutions to boost your collagen levels in the skin to reduce wrinkles and other signs of skin aging. We will also cover how Forever Young BBL, HIFU, Microneedling, Morpheus8, Thermage® and Ultherapy can be used to stimulate collagen production in skin.

At what age does Collagen production stop, and what causes collagen loss ?

Collagen loss is a natural part of aging. From the time we are in our late teens and early 20s, the majority of our bodies begin to produce less collagen, and this reduction is roughly 1% every year. As people get older, declines in collagen can cause many symptoms, such as a loss of elasticity in the skin and other connective tissues and form lines, wrinkles, and looseness in the skin. Some can experience joint stiffness as well.

Apart from aging, there are several other factors that can contribute to the loss of collagen as well. Some of the most common causes of collagen loss include:

Sun exposure: UV rays from the sun can damage the collagen fibers in the skin, leading to wrinkles and premature aging.
Smoking: The harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the collagen fibers, leading to decreased collagen production and premature aging.
Poor nutrition: A diet that is deficient in vitamins and minerals essential for collagen production, such as vitamin C and iron, can contribute to collagen loss.
Stress: Chronic stress can lead to the release of chemicals that break down collagen and other proteins in the body.
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during menopause, can also contribute to collagen loss.
Genetics: Some people may be genetically predisposed to having a higher risk of collagen loss.

How to slow down collagen loss or even rebuild collagen to rejuvenate your skin?

Now that we know what causes collagen loss and that collagen loss weakens the bond between the different layers of the skin, let’s discuss how to slow down collagen loss and how to rebuild collagen in the face.

Avoiding exposure to the factors that can accelerate collagen loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help slow down the process. But when it comes to rejuvenating the skin to produce more collagen, there are three more effective methods: Forever Young BBL, HIFU, Microneedling, Morpheus8, Thermage®, and Ultherapy.

Boost your collagen levels with Forever Young BBL

Similar to LED therapy lights and red light therapy, Forever Young BBL laser is an advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) face laser treatment that uses broadband light to rejuvenate skin and reduce pigmentation and wrinkles. The research [1] conducted by Dr. Patrick Bitter and Dr. Jason Pozner has discovered that systematic treatment with Forever Young BBL makes people look ten years younger than their average age.

[1] Bitter, P. Pozner, J. Retrospective Evaluation of the Long-Term Anti-Aging Effects of Broadband Light Therapy, Cosmetic Dermatology, February 2013.

How does Forever Young BBL boost the skin’s collagen production? Short bursts of intense light are emitted by Forever Young BBL to reach just beneath the skin’s surface; this process increases collagen growth, and improves skin elasticity, and reduces wrinkles. After collagen is increased in the skin, the complexion is even and radiant. Many of our clients have witnessed their transformations and embraced a younger version of themselves with Forever Young BBL at Victoria Park Medispa.

Boost your collagen levels with Microneedling

Microneedling at Victoria Park Medispa is a fast, non-surgical collagen booster for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks, UV damage, skin laxity, and scars by increasing the body’s natural collagen synthesis. Small needles are used to puncture the skin, setting off a healing process that ultimately improves the skin’s structure and appearance. These small punctures are risk-free and well-controlled in the hands of a skilled professional, such as our own specialists. A Hyaluronic Acid serum is applied to the skin throughout the treatment to help it retain moisture and repair itself. Many of our clients have seen the results of Microneedling at Victoria Park Medispa and have welcomed their more youthful appearance. To read more, please click here.

Boost your collagen levels with Ultherapy

Ultherapy, a miraculous collagen beauty booster offered at Victoria Park Medispa, can help kick-start your body’s natural collagen production. In what way? Improvements in skin tone, firmness, and elasticity, with no surgery or recovery time required*, all while maintaining a natural appearance. In half an hour to one hour and half, we may smooth out creases and wrinkles on the upper chest and raise the skin on the brow and neck with non-invasive ultrasound therapy. See what real people are saying about our Ultherapy.

HOW TO BOOST YOUR COLLAGEN WITH MD FORMULA BY VICTORIA PARK LAB

Boost your natural collagen with two must-have products from our MD Formula line by Victoria Park Lab: Forever Plump Serum and Collagen Mask.

Both formulas contain marine collagen and hyaluronic acid. The marine collagen helps firm the skin by improving its elasticity. Hyaluronic acid retains 1,000 times its weight in water and helps stimulate collagen production. These two ingredients work in perfect synergy for optimal results.

Apply Forever Plump Serum as part of your daily routine or post-injection protocols*; a unique formula for firmer, plumper-looking skin.
To keep your skin hydrated, treat yourself to a gentle moment once or twice a week with our Collagen Mask.

*Wait 48 hours after injections before applying the product.

Boost your collagen levels with HIFU

Discover the power of HIFU – High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound – for a youthful, radiant look! Using advanced technology, HIFU concentrates multiple beams of ultrasound energy onto targeted areas, stimulating the growth of new collagen and elastin. HIFU penetrates between 1.5 and 4.5mm beneath the skin, revitalizing it from within and is FDA-approved for brow lifts. Although results may take up to 3 months to show, the natural production of collagen and elastin build up overtime resulting to long-lasting youthful glow for up to 6 to 18 months. Embrace the confidence that comes with healthy and happy-looking skin with HIFU! Available in our Victoria Park Midland clinic.

Boost your collagen levels with Thermage

Discover the wonders of Thermage® – the innovative treatment that strengthens your existing collagen and stimulates new natural collagen growth. This cutting-edge technology uses radiofrequency to heat up the layers of your skin that are rich in collagen, while its tip vibrates and cools the surface for maximum comfort. The heat then causes your collagen to contract, resulting in incredible skin tightening. With results that can last years, Thermage® is the perfect solution for all skin types and ages. Try it out today and enjoy a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance! Available in our Victoria Park Barrie clinic.
