As we sadly all know, one of the first, tell-tale signs of ageing is when our skin starts to droop and sag, as well as when we see fine lines and wrinkles pop up. This is all, in part, due to collagen loss.
Collagen loss with age is something that is inevitable, but it is also essentially reversible, too!
This is all thanks to Profhilo®, one of the incredibly versatile treatment options that I offer at Appearance Based Medicine.
Read on to learn more about it and what exactly causes collagen loss with age.
What Causes Collagen Loss With Age?
This is a question that many of us may have found ourselves popping into search engines over the years, much to our dismay.
It can be saddening to see your skin change as the year's pass, but I wholeheartedly believe this shouldn’t be the case. Although many see ageing as something to be proud of, it doesn’t stop us from feeling glum when the woman in the mirror isn’t the one we recognise.
As we get older, our collagen and elastin fibres become thinner and looser, as does our skin. This means that the skin on our faces in particular can become lax, which eventually causes sagging and wrinkles.
From as early as our twenties, our skin cell turnover also decreases, which can make our skin look dull without help from chemical exfoliating products. Some people around this age realise that their skin isn’t wrinkled as such, it’s just dehydrated but this can lead to the signs of ageing becoming worse further down the line.
Making sure that your skin gets enough hydration will also help it in the long run. Sadly, this doesn’t stop collagen loss with age from being a very real concern.
Why Profhilo® Could Be Perfect For You
Profhilo® is an injectable skin bio-remodelling treatment that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which significantly improve tissue quality too! As well as this, it is a minimally invasive procedure that promises long-lasting results of up to 6 months and it’s not just for use on the face either.
Other areas that may have been affected by collagen loss with age can be treated using Profhilo® Body’s hyaluronic acid-based formula to restore firmness to the skin.
This option is administered in two sessions, spaced one month apart to promote tissue regeneration, as well as the production of collagen and elastin.
It might sound too good to be true, but this revolutionary treatment has improved the skin of many of my patients and I simply can’t wait for you to be next. If you’re dealing with the signs of collagen loss with age, please contact me today.
