Collagen Stimulation Treatment in Coquitlam BC

Your body naturally produces collagen and transports it throughout the body. However, as we age, collagen levels drop, which can result in looser skin, joint tenderness, fine lines, and wrinkles.

We can stimulate higher levels of collagen production by eating a well-balanced diet, high in protein, vitamin C, zinc, and copper. We can also increase collagen stores by taking collagen supplements, adopting healthy lifestyle habits (such as exercising, not smoking, and wearing sunscreen), and adhering to a daily skincare routine.

Non-surgical medical treatments, such as microneedling and PRP therapy, are also widely available and can help boost collagen levels.

The body naturally produces collagen every day, however, bolstering these levels can take varying amounts of time based on which methods you’re utilizing.

The initial results from collagen restoration treatments are often visible immediately and can last anywhere from 6-16 months. However, new collagen production and growth can take anywhere from 4-12 weeks.

While many collagen-stimulating treatments are very effective at restoring and replacing diminished collagen stores, these results are only temporary and will require follow-up to keep levels topped up.

There are many means of enhancing collagen stores in the body.

If you’re interested in boosting collagen production naturally, then consuming certain foods and taking supplements is your best way forward. Protein-rich foods provide amino acids that can boost collagen production and help build healthy muscles. Consuming foods high in vitamin C is also recommended for maintaining healthy skin.

Foods and natural supplements recommended for boosting collagen production are:

• Aloe sterols
• Beans and legumes
• Bone broth
• Citrus fruits
• Eggs
• Ginseng
• Leafy greens
• Nut butter
• Nuts and Seeds
• Oily Fish
• Oral hyaluronic acid
• Shellfish
• Tofu

There is also a wide plethora of non-invasive cosmetic treatments that can increase collagen production and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face. These treatment options include:

• Applying topical creams and serums
• Microneedling/collagen induction therapy
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
• Dermal and facial fillers
• Skin resurfacing lasers
• Chemical peels

Collagen levels peak in your mid-twenties and naturally begin to decrease from there. As collagen plays an important role in keeping the muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, organs, blood vessels, skin, and connective tissues healthy, you’ll likely notice certain signs develop as collagen levels drop. This includes:

• Thinning skin
• Loss of skin elasticity
• The development of fine lines and wrinkles
• Stiffer tendons and ligaments
• Weakening muscles
• Joint pain
• Worn cartilage
• Gastrointestinal problems caused by the lining of the digestive tract thinning

While it’s completely normal for collagen levels to drop as we get older, the results can be less than ideal. This is why many people choose to bolster their skin health by seeking out safe and non-invasive collagen-stimulating treatments.
