How to boost your collagen?
Boost collagen and reclaim your skin’s radiance in our aesthetic clinic based in Esher, Surrey
When it comes to achieving radiant, youthful skin, collagen plays a central role. This structural protein is vital for skin elasticity, strength, and hydration, making it one of the most sought-after ingredients in skincare and aesthetic treatments. Almost every treatment in the Aesthetic industry claims to boost collagen in some way, but what exactly is collagen and which treatments actually work?
In this blog, we’ll explore what collagen is, the types of collagen found in the skin, what happens to collagen as we age, and how advanced treatments—such as polynucleotides, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), Sculptra, and Hyperdiluted Radiesse—can rejuvenate and restore your skin.
What Is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, forming the foundation of connective tissues such as skin, tendons, cartilage, and bones. It acts as the "scaffolding" that provides structure, elasticity, and resilience to the skin, ensuring it remains firm and supple.
The Different Types of Collagen in Skin
There are at least 28 types of collagen, but three main types are found in the skin:
What Happens to Collagen as We Age?
As we age, the natural production of collagen begins to decline—starting as early as our mid-20s. By the time we reach our 40s, collagen levels have significantly reduced, resulting in:
Environmental factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and smoking can accelerate collagen degradation, further affecting skin health.
The Best Ways to Boost Collagen
Boosting collagen production can help restore skin’s youthful appearance and resilience. Here are the most effective methods:
While topical creams can only go so far, dietary changes and supplements work from within to support collagen production.
It’s important for patients to be aware there are many supplements on the market however many lack the evidence that they actually provide any benefit so consult a specialist first to ensure what you use will actually work and not be a waste of money
For faster and more targeted results, injectable treatments offer advanced solutions to enhance collagen production and rejuvenate the skin.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are an innovative treatment that repairs and regenerates the skin. Polynucleotides are derived from Salmon or trout DNA and once injected stimulate collagen production by promoting cell turnover and repairing damaged tissues amongst other effects.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Popularly known as the "vampire facial," PRP uses the body’s own platelets to stimulate collagen production and skin healing.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a revolutionary dermal filler that stimulates the body’s collagen production over time. Unlike traditional fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually to rebuild collagen from within.
Hyperdiluted Radiesse
Radiesse, when hyperdiluted, becomes an effective biostimulatory treatment that enhances collagen and elastin production. This injectable is particularly beneficial for improving skin quality in larger areas like the neck, décolletage, and hands.
In addition to injectables, treatments like microneedling, radiofrequency, and laser therapies can also boost collagen by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response. These options are ideal for those who prefer non-invasive methods.
Supporting collagen production at home is crucial for maintaining results from professional treatments.
Collagen is the foundation of healthy, youthful skin, but its natural decline doesn’t mean you have to settle for the effects of aging. From dietary changes to revolutionary injectable treatments, there are plenty of ways to boost collagen and reclaim your skin’s radiance. Often the best results involve a combination of different modalities, ultimately the treatment of choice will be determined by individual factors such as age, other concurrent concerns and of course budget. Some treatments such as Sculptra and Radiesse are more potent collagen stimulators whereas as PRP or polynucleotides can have an array of other benefits.
