With age or illness the production of collagen slows down which results in a partial collapse of the tissue matrix in the derma, and a loss of tissue volume and firmness. Together with the slowing of hyaluronic acid production and reduced elastin, skin folds and wrinkles appear on the skin’s surface.
Though most collagen formulations have given way to more advanced injectable materials, there are still some types of collagen on the market. With so many options for replacing facial volume, it’s always best to seek the help of a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to help you sift through the options.
