Collagen supplements have grown in popularity, with many enthusiasts claiming they can restore the skin’s vibrancy and fight signs of ageing. But do these supplements really work to keep your skin looking youthful?
In this article, we will shed light on how collagen supplements function and their benefits, before covering the role of non-invasive facelift treatments in maintaining youthful skin.
The beauty and wellness industry has seen a rising demand for collagen supplements. These supplements are often marketed in the form of powders, capsules, or drinks that promise to rejuvenate skin, strengthen nails, and improve hair health.
Celebrities and influencers have endorsed collagen as the secret to their radiant skin, further fueling its popularity. This increased attention has sparked curiosity among consumers about whether collagen supplements truly provide these benefits.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, accounting for about 75% of the skin’s structure. It acts as a scaffold, providing skin strength, firmness, and elasticity.
As we age, collagen production naturally decreases. From our mid-20s, collagen levels drop by about 1% each year, which leads to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of hydration. Beyond natural ageing, external factors such as excessive sun exposure, pollution, and smoking can accelerate collagen degradation, causing premature ageing and further compromising skin quality.
Several studies suggest that collagen supplements may indeed benefit skin health. A study tested on 1721 patients found that collagen supplements significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, and density in participants after 2 to 12 weeks of use. These findings indicate that regular intake of collagen supplements may help slow down some signs of ageing.
Here are some of the potential benefits of collagen supplements for skin health:
While collagen supplements can improve skin hydration and elasticity, they do have limitations. Collagen supplements alone may not provide the lifting effect some people seek, nor can they fill in deeper wrinkles or restore significant volume loss.
For more noticeable changes, you will need aesthetic treatments with skin tightening and wrinkle reduction effects.
Non-invasive facelift treatments can target signs of ageing and boost collagen. These methods can complement collagen supplements to help you achieve youthful-looking skin. The following are some popular non-invasive facelift treatments:
Fotona 4D stimulates collagen production in multiple layers of the skin. This non-invasive laser treatment uses four different laser modes to target the skin’s surface and deeper tissues. The result is a more youthful appearance, with improved skin tone, tightness, and texture.
Collagen stimulators, such as Radiesse and Plinest, are injectable treatments designed to encourage the body to produce more collagen over time. They contain poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which helps the skin generate new collagen, improving its firmness and reducing wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are another non-invasive facelift option for restoring youthful skin. While they do not stimulate collagen production, they can improve the skin’s appearance and facial contours by filling in wrinkles, adding volume, and providing a more plump complexion.
Collagen supplements have become popular among those looking to maintain youthful skin. However, they cannot provide lifting effects or fill in deeper wrinkles. While collagen supplements can support healthier, more radiant skin, they work best with aesthetic treatments.
