Collagen is a main structural protein found throughout our body. Collagen provides the strength our tissue and organs require while elastin provides the ability to stretch and recoil.

Collagen is one of the most plentiful proteins present in the bodies of mammals, including humans. In fact, it makes up about 25 percent of the total amount of proteins in the body. Some people refer to collagen as the glue that holds the body together. Without it, the body would, quite literally, fall apart.

Cosmetics

Collagen has been widely used in cosmetic surgery, as a healing aid for burn patients for reconstruction of bone and a wide variety of dental, orthopedic and surgical purposes.

Sun Damage:
As we age and we subject our skin to greater and greater amounts of sun damage, we degrade our skin's collagen, causing the look and feel of our skin to degrade as well. The ability of our skin to develop healthy collagen diminishes and we are left with collagen that is damaged.

Stimulate New Collagen Growth:
The goal of most skin rejuvenation treatments is to stimulate new collagen development through a process called neocollagenesis. Many treatments use lasers, radiofrequency or IPL, while others such as hyaluronic acid injections to stimulate its production.

Delay Skin Aging:
Avoid the sun and using sunscreen with high SPF is the best way to protect your skin. The UV damage from the sun is serious and protecting your skin is the best way to ensure you will have youthful skin for many years
