Stimulation of skin quality

Collagen: everyone’s talking about it, collagen-based cosmetics and dietary supplements are proliferating, and many anti-ageing treatments aim to stimulate this key molecule! And not without reason, since collagen is the molecule that gives our skin a firm, smooth consistency. In other words, lack of collagen is the cause of flabby, wrinkled and sagging skin. Collagen production in the skin decreases already from the age of 20 and this decline is estimated at 1% per year. This amounts to a loss of 30% at the age of 50 and explains why the skin looks more fragile at this age. Collagen loss can be accelerated by sun exposure, pollution, smoking and also by menopause. Therefore, the first signs of skin weakness can appear at any age. The aim of collagen inductors is to stimulate and maintain a good collagen production in order to retrieve and preserve a firm and smooth skin. The injected product is not collagen, but a collagen inductor : calcium hydroxyapatite, a natural component which has the capacity to stimulate the skin cells to produce collagen.
