Collagen is the primary protein that makes up the skin. As we age, the body needs more and more collagen to make repairs. Unfortunately, we produce less and less. This results in a collagen debt, and we see this in the skin as an effect of aging. Fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear, as well as other skin blemishes that could easily be repaired if the body was only producing enough collagen.

With that in mind, we are going to explain a few facial treatments that can help the body to produce more collagen, particularly in the skin of the face, in order to turn back the clock.

  • Microdermabrasion – This treatment is ideal if you have sensitive skin. In fact, you may be able to enhance the benefits even more by combining it with a light peel. Microdermabrasion uses a delicate handpiece to deliver microcrystals that polish the outermost layer of the skin. This polishing causes the body to spring into action by producing more collagen. It is one of the least invasive and most effective ways to boost collagen-production in the skin of the face.

  • Facial – The right facial will boost moisture in the skin so that the collagen your body is producing doesn’t have to work as hard. The same thing is true of facials that firm up your skin and improve circulation. You get a little boost of collagen and skin that is healthier on its own, so it stands up better to damage. In fact, a facial with vitamin C will boost healing even more because this antioxidant is crucial for skin repair.
