Collagen- The Wonder Material To Fight Aging Looks

Imagine a roof. The roof gets supported on poles. Imagine the sagging poles. What will happen to the roof? It will also sag. That is what happens when collagen reduces in our skin and we develop wrinkles. This collagen is injected to get the firm and
young look. Let us see how?

Collagen- what is collagen?

What we see on our body is he upper part of our skin- the epidermis. Dermis lies below the epidermis. Dermis is mainly made of collagen and elastin. The collagen makes a structure of mesh and gives support to our skin. With aging, collagen reduces and our capacity to make more collagen also reduces. Therefore whatever collagen we lose because of sun exposure and aging is not replaced by our body. This forms wrinkles on the skin.

Aging Skin- the reasons

Skin ages for two reasons- intrinsic and extrinsic. Our genes determine intrinsic aging. Extrinsic aging happens because of external factors such as sun, gravity etc. This aging breaks down most of the collagen in the skin. Collagen is directly affected by the UV radiation of the sunrays. With regular exposure collagen breaks down and the skin sags.

Collagen Injection - how it remove
s signs of aging?


The remedy for loss of collagen is to introduce collagen from outside. Doctors do that by injecting collagen below the wrinkles. This collagen is most of the times of bovine origin. If you are allergic to bovine, your doctor will use human collagen. With a shot, you will get your youth again. Collagen is indeed a wonderful material.
