When it comes to skincare prevention is always better than cure, which is why collagen banking could be an investment in your skin’s future. Collagen banking is a relatively new phrase in the aesthetics industry, but what is it exactly? Let’s dive into the latest skincare blog to find out.
What is collagen and why does it matter?
Collagen is a protein found in the connective tissue in the skin which provides structure and support to our skin, muscles and bones. As we age, our collagen levels naturally start to deplete and we start to see visible signs of ageing such as wrinkles.
This is when your skin is losing elasticity (your skin’s bounce back ability), and collagen (which gives your face its structure and firmness) and happens from the age of around 25, when our levels begin to decline.
If you’re a woman, then you’ll lose these skin components at a much faster rate during peri-menopause, as the hormones that help produce them also start to decline.
What is collagen banking? The phrase collagen banking refers to building up and retaining your skin’s collagen during the time that your body is still producing it efficiently. This is typically achieved through a variety of collagen boosting treatments and supplements that can help to stimulate the collagen in the skin, combined with good lifestyle choices and skincare.
While anyone could benefit from collagen stimulating treatments, the ideal time to start is in your late 20s to late 30s while your levels are still high. But even in your 40s and 50s collagen stimulating treatments can help to improve your skin elasticity and tone.
What treatments can promote collagen banking? At Pure Perfection, we have a range of advanced treatments that can promote collagen at a cellular level. These include polynucleotides, exosomes, sunekos, PRP, microneedling and red light therapy. Each treatment works in a different way but all are capable of achieving impressive results.
Microneedling: Microneedling treatments (radio frequency and skin needling) create micro-injury in the skin that promote your skin’s natural healing which encourages collagen and elastin boosting.
Polynucleotides: Injecting polynucleotides can stimulate fibroblasts in the skin which are the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
Red light therapy: Red light therapy energises the cells in the skin and can activate fibroblasts which can stimulate collagen production.
Exosomes: When applied to the skin, exosomes can go deeper into the skin than typical skincare to encourage collagen production.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma): A PRP treatment can deliver growth factors from platelets in the blood that can trigger the skin’s healing process and stimulate collagen.
Medical grade skincare: Ingredients such as retinol and peptides can help to preserve collagen by encouraging cell turnover.
Supplements: Collagen supplements such as Skinaid contain a liquid blend of high absorbing collagen which can boost your body’s natural production of collagen.
Investing in your skin By consistently supporting your body’s collagen, you could be ensuring your skin can remain firmer and stronger over time, and taking care of your skin now could benefit you in the future. Collagen banking is not a trend, it’s a science backed option for forward thinking skincare.
