Collagen Treatments
Here's a letter from a friend in Wisconsin. It is all about collagen and treatment options, from a woman's point of view... enjoy!
I was sitting on the couch the other morning with my daughter just before school and she started playing with my eyes, rubbing her finger back and forth. I finally asked her what she was doing and she said; Mommy your eyes have so many lines around them and they feel weird. Aren't kids cute? They are also very honest. After I took her to school I looked into the mirror, and then did some research... this is what I found out.
Collagen- what is it and what does it do
Collagen is a protein. It is mainly found in the dermis, what is the dermis? It is the layer below epidermis, the top layer of the skin. Collagen supports the epidermis and without the support of collagen the epidermis would collapse onto the muscles and bones. When we look at a person and their face looks full and young that is the collagen working. Collagen forms the structure on which the epidermis rests.
Think of it as if you were a house and the beams in your house hold up the structure. If those beams were to weaken and get old the structure would start to collapse… the same with your face. Collagen is a new foundation, it supports the epidermis and makes you look young.
Collagen- why does our Collagen breakdown?
As we get older, our collagen begins breaking down. You may ask, how do I stop this from happening? Get out of the sun or wear sunscreen. As the collagen breaks down, your skin will develop wrinkles. Your skin will sags and get droopy. When you're young your collagen replaces itself fast. But as we get older, this replacement becomes sloooow. In medical terms it just means there is insufficient collagen in the dermis and we begin looking older. If you are like me when I read this and said OK what can be done about replacing my collagen?
Collagen injections-how does it work?
Your doctors will inject collagen just below the wrinkled skin. The source of collagen is commonly bovine. Once the procedure starts it is kind of amazing as the collagen is injected; it removes the wrinkle in minutes and makes the face look as young as it was years ago. I guess that is why it is such a popular procedure because you almost see instant results.
Collagen injections- what are the risks?
Individuals interested in facial collagen injections should realize that the current collagen treatments are not permanent solutions. In most cases, facial collagen injections will last for three to six months. . If you know you're allergic to bovine or your doctor suspects that you may develop an allergy to bovine collagen, your doctor may use human collagen.
If you think you maybe allergic to collagen injection the side effects can appear as red, tender bumps that can end up ulcerating and causing permanent scars. The majority of people that suffer these collagen injection side effects will see them disappear over several months. Of every 100 people that receive the injections, roughly two will experience the collagen injection side effects.
Wrinkles
To be alive is to live, to live a good life is to get older, and to get older means you get wrinkles. There is no way to get through a long life and be without them.
How we live our life and as to how soon wrinkles will appear for each of us, and how noticeable they are, depend on our heredity and also the natural aging process where our skin loses its elasticity, and becomes thinner and more fragile.
We are only accelerating this process by the way we eat poorly, speak in anger, sleep a little, and don't exercise. It is true when they say exposure to the sun is bad-it is a fact that is responsible for 90 percent of unnatural aging of the skin, along with smoking.
The other 10 percent of accelerated skin aging is due to frowning, squinting and grimacing looks that bring out wrinkles and aggravates natural furrows. A sour face is a wrinkled face, remember that.
Did you know that cigarette smoking causes premature wrinkles along with a laundry list of other problems? People who smoke for a long time can often be identified by their face alone. You know who I'm talking about you've seen them, the little old lady who's face generally looks leathery, yellowish-gray and gaunt. They say that a person who smokes to age 40 has the facial wrinkles equivalent to age 60. Yummy!
Help yourself by avoiding excessive exposure to the sun and STOP smoking! You can also help by keeping your facial muscles in a state of relaxation you know let the guy who cut you off for no reason get the wrinkles not you. Plus the world needs more smiles and less frowns, say something nice instead of nasty, also try using natural moisturizing creams and lotions daily.
If you insist on keeping a nasty disposition and frowning then your options are Collagen, chemical facial peels, microdermabrasion, botox, eye lift, face lift and so on. Doesn't sound a lot simpler to just smile?
