Collagen: The Gift That Keeps Giving
‘Tis the season of giving but don’t forget to give your skin a little holiday treat too! Enter Collagen, the aesthetic gift that keeps on giving for a beautifully bright and youthful complexion that will have you starting the new year off right!
ZenTox Aesthetics has got some amazing aesthetic treatments that will promote your skin’s collagen production! But what is collagen? How does it relate to the world of aesthetics? We’ll walk you through why collagen is so beneficial for achieving gorgeous, Instagram-worthy skin and we’ll discuss the treatments that are best for the glow boost you have been searching for.
What is Collagen?
Naturally occurring in the body, collagen is responsible for giving your skin elasticity, strength, and structure. It even aids the body in boosting new skin cell growth. Basically, it’s one of the body’s proteins that make youthful skin look… young!
Unfortunately, as we age, our body produces less and less collagen. The gradual diminishing of collagen in the body leads to:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sagging or crepey skin
Scars that won’t fade as quickly
Hallowing in the face – particularly around the eyes
Aesthetic Treatments that Boost Collagen
The good news is that some aesthetic treatments not only address the cosmetic skin issues related to aging but also boost the body’s natural collagen production. This addresses skin problems more effectively with longer-lasting results overall.
Intrigued? Let’s talk about some of these amazing treatments!
Which Injectables Promote Collagen Production?
Injectable treatments like dermal fillers and neurotoxins help to temporarily address aging issues like volume loss and wrinkles. There are some fillers, though, that are designed to also boost your collagen production.
Sculptra for Face and Body
This minimally invasive filler treatment uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate your body’s production of collagen. You may have heard about Sculptra through its use as a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift (BBL). That’s because Sculptra can be used on both the face and the body. It has been proven to have an amazing ability to lift, plump, and shape the booty.
Sculptra results may not be seen immediately, but after a few weeks, you’ll be able to see the initial impact on wrinkles, hip dips, and booty enhancement. And results can last for years in some cases!
Bellafill for Long-Term Results
Made with a collagen gel that holds tiny microspheres, Bellafill has proven to be the longest-lasting dermal filler available on the market. It’s a popular injectable to use for moderate and severe folds and wrinkles as well as acne scarring.
When used to correct acne scars, this dermal filler can last for up to a year before repeated injections are needed. When it comes to addressing volume loss, wrinkles, and fine lines, Bellafill results can last up to five years in some cases.
PRP: The Natural Approach to Anti-Aging
Want an all-natural treatment for anti-aging that also boosts collagen production? Look no further than Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). This injectable treatment uses your own blood to boost not only collagen but also cell growth, hair growth, and encourage the body’s healing process.
Your blood is drawn and the platelet-rich plasma is extracted from it using a centrifuge. The PRP is then injected back into the treatment area to correct signs of aging and improve the appearance of the skin overall.
Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation
Is your standard facial not doing the trick anymore? Elevate your skincare game with a Microneedling session. This treatment works by creating tiny puncture wounds in the skin’s surface. The body’s healing process is kicked into gear, which addresses skin issues like acne scarring, uneven skin tone, stretch marks, and sun damage.
Microneedling gets an even bigger boost when combined with treatments like PRP or Potenza™ RF Resurfacing.
Non-Surgical Facelifts that Boost Collagen Production
Looking for the amazing results of a facelift without the scalpel? Good news! These non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments tighten up the face’s skin and boost collagen production for younger, brighter, smoother-looking skin.
Silhouette Instalift® & PDO Threads
Threaded into the deepest layer of the skin, Instalift micro-cones are used to lift the top layer in order to address sagging in the cheeks, jowls, and neck, taking years off of your appearance. PDO threads, another non-surgical facelift procedure, use pointed sutures to “catch” the skin and are adjustable to the desired lifted appearance you’re going for.
Best of all, these treatments also promote collagen production in targeted areas, creating an even brighter and tighter appearance!
The micro-cones and sutures are dissolvable and with the boost in collagen, the treatment can last in the mid-face area as well as the jawline for up to two years in some cases.
