Cconsidering the “protein of youth”The collagen it is the most abundant structural element of our body and is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. After the age of 20, its physiological production progressively decreases, with a direct impact on the quality of the dermis. Reinstating it is possible, and the smartest way, lately, is to do it in a synergistic way. As? Combining injection-dermal treatments such as fillers And the support of oral supplements: an integrated strategy inside-out that works on the quality of the leather at multiple levels.
Collagen, the protocol that works
“The collagen it is involved in numerous biological processes, from regeneration to tissue organization”, he underlines Sonia Ciampadoctor expert in aesthetic medicine, homotoxicology, general and integrative medicine.
“This “support texture” of the skin, however, it fades with aging. For obtain incisive results in reintegrating itdermatology is increasingly oriented towards an approach that acts on multiple fronts. On the one hand, the use of collagen fillers to restore firmness and firmness to the complexion from the inside. On the other, the synergistic use of targeted food supplements to preserve tone and elasticity.”
Why fillers
«Me too More advanced aesthetic medicine protocols involve integration Between local injections of collagen fillers and the administration of dermo-collagen orally, in the form of food supplements”, adds the expert.
«The use of injectable collagen allows you to act in a targeted way on the dermissupporting the skin structure in a progressive and physiological way. The objective is not to “fill” but to create favorable conditions so that the tissue maintains its structure, improves elasticity and slows down decay.”
The importance of in & out synergy
«The aesthetic medicine approach bio-regenerative integrated in & out really effective then combine collagen fillers and dermo-collagen supplements rich in exosomes even the application of cosmetics containing the same ingredients”, he adds Alessandro Perra, expert in integrative medicine and physiological regulation, scientific director of Gunas.
«With this synergy, harmonious and long-lasting results are achieved within personalized paths, built on the individual person, based on skin characteristics and specific objectives».
«Beauty is not created, it awakens. And it is towards this perspective that contemporary aesthetic medicine is directed, to accompany and support natural physiological processes, from a perspective that brings together balance, vitality and individual identity. A biologically healthier tissue responds better to any aesthetic treatment. It is a paradigm shift: not choosing between approaches, but integrating them.”
The help of collagen supplements
Collagen-based nutritional supplements are considered a panacea for preserving the skin’s elasticity and firmness. The active molecules included in the formulas are increasingly perfected: contemporary versions contain hydrolyzed collagen, subjected to an enzymatic process called hydrolysis, capable of breaking the protein chains into smaller fragments called peptides.
“This breakdown makes the supplement highly bioavailable and easily assimilated by the body,” he adds Antonio Brissaco-founder of Aspriva.
The right dosage, the best formulas
Dosage is also key. «Most clinical studies indicate a daily intake of between approximately 5 and 10 grams to obtain perceptible effects. Another essential element is the vitamin C, which acts as a cofactor in collagen synthesis. Without an adequate contribution, this process is biologically limited.”
«An often underestimated but crucial aspect is the purity and safety of the product. Collagen is derived from animal or marine raw materials and is consumed daily, often for long periods. For this reason it is essential that the product is supported by complete and transparent laboratory analyses.”
When?
But when is the right time to take a collagen supplement? «It’s not so much the time of day that makes the difference, but the consistency in intake. Collagen peptides are efficiently absorbed within a few hours, so the key aspect is to take them daily», concludes Antonio Brissa.
