4 Services That Naturally Boost Collagen
Collagen is king in the realm of beauty. It has driven people to drink bone broth, eat collagen powder, and use collagen face creams all because of the beauty benefits it provides. But what if we told you there are 4 aesthetic services that dramatically boost collagen–and you can get them here in Houston, TX.
If you’re noticing more fine lines and lackluster skin and wishing to boost your collagen production more effectively, look no further. We’re sharing what aesthetic treatments are clinically proven to boost collagen production, plus other fun facts you may want to know.
What is collagen and why is it important to beauty?
Collagen is vital in skincare because it plumps up our skin, literally. Collagen is a structural protein responsible for our youthful appearance and skin elasticity. Think about collagen as our “body’s scaffolding.” Beauty aside, collagen is also great for the hair and joints.
As we mature, our bodies produce less collagen year over year. This decline starts as early as our early 20’s, declining about 1% per year. The less collagen—scaffolding—we have under our skin, the more we develop unwanted wrinkles and sagging skin.
Our bodies naturally produce collagen and naturally stop doing so as we age. Collagen can also be absorbed from plant and animal sources. That’s why collagen powders and collagen-rich foods like bone broth have become popular in recent years.
Aesthetic Services that Stimulate Collagen Production naturally
It’s a fact: collagen is essential for younger-looking skin. So, let’s talk about ways that you can DRAMATICALLY boost your collagen production at a med spa.
Sculptra Facial Injections & Sculptra BBLs
Sculptra® is the ultimate “glow up” because it is an injectable dermal filler that stimulates your skin’s own natural collagen production. It is made of Poly-L Lactic Acid (PLLA) and is FDA-approved to restore lost volume while promoting a more youthful glow. Sculptra is commonly used in the face as well as in Sculptra BBLs to plump out a booty. Thanks to Sculptra supporting new collagen production, results get better over time and last up to two years.
PDO Thread Lifts
Meet the non-surgical facelift patients in Houston are raving about. PDO Threads are temporary sutures that subtly but visibly lift the face and help tighten the skin. Once settled, their presence triggers the body’s own physiological responses to produce collagen. Because of this collagen growth, there are many unique benefits that PDO threads provide that other injectables, like Botox, do not.
HIFU 9D Skin Tightening
If you want to boost collagen production without injections, HIFU 9D could be your solution. High Intensity-Focused Ultrasound, or HIFU, is another non-surgical alternative to facelifts. They are rising in popularity here in Houston thanks to their skin-tightening benefits and long-lasting results. During a treatment, the HIFU cartridge pulses high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy into the skin creating thermal coagulation on the target layers of skin tissue. Following a HIFU session, the skin initiates a wound healing process that stimulates collagen synthesis and regeneration. HIFU is ideal for those wishing to tighten the skin.
Cool Laser Therapy
Another non-invasive, non-injectable option is Cool Laser Therapy. This procedure involves "non-ablative,” aka far less invasive, lasers that heat up the targeted skin without destroying tissue. This process encourages collagen production which fills in common skin imperfections, like fine lines, scarring, or wrinkles. Cool Laser Therapy treatments are ideal for those wishing to improve the appearance of sun damage, acne scars, skin texture, melasma, stretch marks, and more.
