Over the past few years, collagen has climbed its way to the very top of the health and wellness trend platform.
Collagen seems to be everywhere these days: in spa treatments, on store shelves, and even in the food we eat. But what is the best way to get your collagen?
What Is Collagen?
Before you can determine the best way to replenish your collagen levels, it is important to understand what collagen is and what it does for your body and your skin.
Collagen is the essential structural protein found in our skin, tendons, muscles, ligaments, and bones. This protein—made of amino acid chains— maintains strength and elasticity, and supports the repair of tissues, joints, ligaments, tendons, and skin.
While our bodies produce this protein naturally, we generate less and less of it as we age. These diminished levels of collagen will result in fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and even contribute to some tone and textural issues.
This is why the restoration of collagen levels has become such a significant part of the beauty and anti-aging industry.
Collagen stimulation reduces signs of aging like lines, wrinkles, and laxity, and provides more youthful, healthier skin.
How Can I Replenish My Collagen Levels?
As a Supplement
These days, millions of people who are trying to stimulate their collagen are doing so by ingesting it. Collagen powder stocks the shelves of health food stores and has become an integral part of many people’s diets.
Collagen powder is a tasteless additive that is mainly made up of animal bone, connective tissue, and skin—although vegan options are starting to pop up.
When consumed daily—by adding it to water, coffee, broths, or protein shakes—collagen powder is intended to increase the volume of collagen in your body.
Through Microneedling
Microneedling treatments, such as Aesthetics Biomedical’s Vivace Experience™, tricks the body into producing more collagen by creating superficial wounds that stimulate a healing response.
Microneedling is a very effective way to promote collagen production; however, microneedling treatments are administered in-office by a licensed provider. Even with multiple treatment sessions, you are still not getting your collagen stimulated on a day-to-day basis.
With Your SoME™ Skincare
SoME™ Skincare, created by Aesthetics Biomedical, is a revolutionary at-home skincare solution that combines its proprietary combination of top skincare ingredients with your natural platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
PRP is the growth factor found in your blood. When a sample of your blood is run through a centrifuge, this PRP is isolated. The isolated PRP is added to your SoME™ for a truly personalized skincare.
The best part of this treatment is that PRP stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin to thicken and tighten your complexion. This solution is applied topically every day in the comfort of your own home.
With SoME™, you know the ingredients that are being applied to your skin, and you know that you will be reaping the benefits of collagen stimulation every day—not just the days you go in for a treatment.
See the Lasting Benefits
Collagen stimulation occurs gradually, so you will witness the continual improvement in the quality and tone of your skin.
