Stimulating collagen synthesis in aged skin was shown to reduce wrinkles and
improve skin texture.
The benefit of stimulating your own collagen production
is that collagen is deposited in an orderly, structured manner and that there
is no risk of allergy, immune reaction or injection-induced infection.
Furthermore, many ingredients useful in stimulating collagen synthesis are
relatively inexpensive and safe.
Stimulation
of collagen synthesis in aging skin is realistic and can substantially improve
the appearance of fine lines and even deeper wrinkles when done correctly.
However, it often requires a comprehensive approach. Production of collagen is
a complex process, not unlike the assembly of an automobile. Many parts and
assembly tools must come together to efficiently create a product. Similarly,
lots of things are needed to efficiently produce collagen:
Vitamin C: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is essential
for efficient synthesis of collagen. Many of the symptoms of scurvy (vitamin C
deficiency disease) such as bleeding gums, skin hemorrhages and poor wound
healing a due to impaired collagen synthesis. On the other hand, supplying
extra vitamin C can accelerate collagen synthesis especially when other key
ingredients are also in abundance. While vitamin C is useful for rebuilding
your skin's collagen and reducing wrinkles, it could be of no benefit or even
harmful if used improperly.
