5 Cosmetic Treatments That Can Reverse Age-Related Collagen Loss

If you long to turn back the clock on your appearance, you may want to consider a cosmetic treatment that addresses collagen loss. 

About 30% of your body’s protein consists of collagen. Among other tasks, collagen helps keep your skin firm, smooth, and supple. As you age, however, your body produces less of it, making way for common signs of aging – including wrinkles, fine lines, and shallow areas in your face.

At BP Royal Medspa in Henderson, Nevada, registered nurse Barbara (“Barbie”) Rodriguez and her expert team offer a range of minimally invasive treatments that help turn these issues around.

Take a few moments to learn more about collagen loss, including five cosmetic solutions.

More about collagen loss

While everyone produces less collagen as they age, several factors can expedite the process. Excessive sun exposure without ultraviolet (UV) protection, tanning bed use, drinking excess alcohol, smoking, sleep loss, and inactivity can all exacerbate collagen loss.

Given that a balanced, nutritious diet supports normal collagen production, you could also lose out on the protein’s benefits by eating too few vegetables, fruits, or whole grains. A diet high in added sugars may also hinder collagen production.

Skin treatments that boost collagen

Thankfully, you don’t have to go “under the knife” to invite a more youthful appearance, regardless of how much collagen you’ve lost. If you’d like to increase collagen production or reverse the effects of collagen loss on your face, consider these popular cosmetic treatments:

1. Microneedling, which creates tiny tears to stimulate natural healing processes, including collagen production
2. Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which enhances standard microneedling using small amounts of your own blood
3. Dermaplaning, which uses a blade to skim off old skin cells and encourage new cell growth and collagen creation
4. Chemical peels, which deeply exfoliate your skin and make way for increased collagen levels
5. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® and Restylane®, which instantly restore lost volume and may lead to added collagen production promptly

We also offer noninvasive facelifts, which combine treatments, such as cosmetic injectables, laser therapy, and polydioxanone (PDO) threading, for firmer, smoother skin. 

Your provider at BP Royal Medspa can help determine your best course of collagen treatment based on your complexion, goals, and overall health. While some people achieve optimal results through one treatment, others benefit from a combination or series of treatments.
