Are these Services right for you?
Did you know collagen production decreases at a rate of 1% yearly starting at the age of 25? Our collagen building services and products will stimulate your own body for repair and renewal.
Why Collagen Building?
Collagen building works over time with your body to help the underlying structure of your skin.
This results in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing your skin and restoring a more youthful appearance.
These treatments will give you results you will see weeks to months after your treatment and can last years!
What are the benefits of stimulating collagen?
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that is the most important building block of our skin. It makes up a significant portion of the extracellular matrix, which acts as a natural support layer for our skin’s surface. That is why collagen loss can result in facial hallowing and sagging. Stimulating our body’s natural production can provide additional support, allowing for smoother, more younger looking skin,
Are collagen building treatments right for me?
Everyone benefits from replacing lost collagen so everyone is a candidate. One session of SkinPen MicroNeedling is shown to replace a years worth of lost collagen. Sculptra has been shown to improve collagen up to 24 months or longer.
