When does your collagen start to decrease?
There isn't an exact age, uniform for everyone, at which collagen in the body begins to decrease and its production diminishes. This varies per person, and other factors such as lifestyle and genetics also play a role. The consensus is that collagen reduction begins between the ages of 20 and 25. From that point on, natural collagen decreases by approximately 1% per year. Initially, you won't notice much, but over time, you will see this in the form of fine lines, early wrinkles, or coarser pores.
Different ways to reduce skin sagging
There are many ways to reduce the visibility of skin sagging and wrinkles. The best-known methods are fillers, used to plump a wrinkle, and Botox, to relax muscles, which reduces the formation of wrinkles.
Nowadays, many innovations are taking place in the field of skin treatments. People often fear an unnatural result with a filler- or Botox treatment. At The Body Clinic, we offer several forms of skin improvement that ensure a natural appearance precisely because they are also natural.
Sculptra: a natural collagen booster
One of these natural solutions for the decrease of collagen in the body is Sculptra. With this treatment, there is no immediate result; rather, as time progresses, you will notice that the structure and volume of your skin improve.
How does Sculptra work?
Sculptra is an injectable where the biological substance poly-L-lactic acid is injected. This substance stimulates the body's natural collagen production. When initially introduced, you won't see a difference, but after a few months, your skin will feel increasingly firmer and healthier.
How does Sculptra provide natural results?
Sculptra consists of biocompatible substances, meaning they can be easily broken down by the body. This immediately ensures that it is a treatment that delivers natural results. The active substance, poly-L-lactic acid, is slowly broken down by the body. Collagen production is stimulated for up to 2.5 years after the treatment.
Naturally, we cannot prevent the aging process, but we can help our bodies slow it down. Sculptra is the treatment with which you invest in yourself. In two years, you will still be grateful for it!
