What you need to know about collagen banking

Collagen is like the scaffolding of your skin. It’s what gives it that plump, firm appearance. But as we age, our collagen reserves start to deplete, leading to wrinkles, sagging and fine lines.

Collagen banking is essentially the concept of saving up collagen (which is plentiful in our youthful 20s when skin is in its prime) so you can enjoy a healthy, youthful complexion as you age.

Collagen banking involves taking proactive steps to preserve and even boost your collagen levels early on. That can mean using skincare products with collagen-boosting ingredients, like Peptides, Retinols, Vitamin C, eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients that support collagen production, and protecting your skin from Ultraviolet damage and environmental factors.

Collagen Boosting Products & Treatments

Retinoids help to promote collagen synthesis and therefore directly improve skin density improving fine lines and wrinkles.  They also have the added benefit of reducing the appearance of pigmentation. Our recently launched Advanced Retinol Complex Serum is proven to improve skin elasticity by 29% in 4 weeks.

Then there’s Vitamin C – such as that found in our Brighten & Perfect 10% Vitamin C Corrective Serum – which is a powerful antioxidant that not only protects skin from damage but also helps stimulate collagen production. Plus, it can brighten your complexion and help to fade dark spots.

In-office procedures include micro needling, radio frequency with or without micro needling, Ultherapy and various light and laser treatments. All treatments help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin by initiating an injury-repair cascade.
Who Would Benefit From Collagen Banking

Pretty much anyone looking to keep their skin plump, firm, and youthful. It’s like investing in your skin’s future. Collagen is what gives your skin its structure and elasticity, so by boosting it, you’re essentially helping protect your skin against wrinkles and sagging down the road.
