Is collagen really needed for healthier, younger skin, or is it just hype? The answer is, yes, your skin does need collagen, but it’s important you boost it in the most effective way.
Here's another secret: At 20, you’re not too young to begin. Studies show that your body slows down its production of collagen in your 20s.
Drinks and supplements may aid in its increase, but today, we’re looking at Clear +Brilliant Laser skincare as a science-backed approach to enriching your body's collagen.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a structural protein found in the second layer of the skin and provides its firmness and elasticity. Without it, your skin becomes too loose, resulting in sagging and wrinkles. Collagen is what promotes healing, smoothness and moisture in the skin. This is why, as we age and collagen is reduced, the skin appears drier and lifeless.
The National Library of Medicine has proven that oral collagen combined with topical collagen can reduce or delay the skin’s aging process.
Why Skin Loves Clear + Brilliant Laser
When environmental and lifestyle conditions, aging and sun exposure lead to damaged and tired skin, Clear + Brilliant Laser helps to restore a youthful experience without the need for surgery. It uses advanced laser technology to create microscopic zones of healing in the upper layers of the skin and promote the production of collagen. A numbing ointment may be used for added comfort.
Starting this treatment in your mid-20s is ideal to restore collagen as it starts to diminish. But no matter what age you are, Clear + Brilliant Laser is an excellent way to achieve softer, younger-looking skin. Due to its collagen-stimulating effects, it often has better anti-aging effects than other facials or peeling.
