Is Collagen Loss Aging Your Complexion? We Can Help
Over time, loss of collagen can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin caused by slowed cell regeneration. Factors like sun exposure, smoking, and stress can speed up the aging process.
But don’t worry — it’s not all doom and gloom! Is collagen loss aging your complexion? There are ways to boost its production and revitalize your skin.
Counter the unwelcome signs of aging with the help of Creekside Wellness in Cypress, Texas. Dr. Qureshi and Laura Canada, NP, offer anti-aging services that restore a youthful glow.
8 effective ways to boost collagen production
Our aesthetics experts at Creekside Wellness offer the following collagen-boosting solutions:
1. Botox®
Despite what you may have heard, Botox is more than a muscle relaxer and skin tightening treatment that eliminates crow’s feet and forehead lines.
2. Dermal fillers
It’s true that dermal fillers add volume to lax tissues, improve facial or body contours, and plump the lips. However, an often less-known effect of these injections is the stimulation of collagen growth, which restores a younger look. Consult our team to determine which fillers best suit your goals.
3. Microneedling
Microneedling creates tiny needle punctures during a painless procedure to boost new cell growth, including collagen and elastin production. It stimulates your body’s innate ability to heal. Microneedling is a simple treatment that yields exceptional anti-aging results without downtime. The result? Smoother, tighter, flawless, younger-looking skin and a healthy glow.
4. Laser resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a cutting-edge treatment that uses laser energy to boost new cell growth without needles, pain, or downtime. The laser stimulates treated tissues to regrow, reducing:
- Fine lines
- Stretch marks
- Scarring
- Skin laxity
- Pigmentation issues
- Large pores
- Other imperfections
The result is revitalized, beautiful skin that looks years younger.
5. Dietary supplements
Vitamins and other dietary supplements, including collagen supplements, promote healthier skin, hair, and nails. Studies show that oral hydrolyzed collagen supplementation improves skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health. Your Creekside Wellness specialist can personalize a dietary supplement regimen based on your personalized needs and goals.
6. Intravenous (IV) therapy
IV therapy is loaded with fluids, antioxidants, and other collagen-enhancing nutrients that hydrate your skin, protect it, and diminish unwelcome signs of aging. We personalize each infusion to release skin-revitalizing nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
7. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Imbalanced hormones can negatively affect your skin’s health. That’s just one of the many reasons Creekside Wellness offers HRT. It restores balance for healthier skin, fuller hair, more energy, leaner body mass, sexual health, bone health, and a younger appearance.
8. Weight loss management
Studies show that about 60-70% of people struggling with obesity develop skin concerns. For example, they’re more prone to:
- Psoriasis
- Rough or bumpy skin patches
- Skin tags
- Stretch marks
- Skin infections
- Other dermal issues
Creekside Wellness’s weight management program optimizes overall wellness, including skin health and collagen growth.
Other healthy habits that minimize aging skin
You can adopt several healthy habits at home to minimize collagen loss and other signs of skin aging. Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, oils, and other plant-based foods. Consume plenty of protein and take a multivitamin supplement under the direction of our team. Finally, use a daily moisturizer and protect your skin from the sun.
