Collagen Wrinkle Treatment
Collagen wrinkle treatment is very important to help keep you looking younger, and finding ways to stimulate new collagen formation is big business and much sought after by many people.
The amount of collagen you have plays a vital role in how good your skin looks, and is important to help get rid of wrinkles and keep them away!
It is a type of protein, and works with keratin to provide the skin with strength, smoothness, elasticity and resilience. As you age collagen production declines and weakening of the skin occurs, which causes the skin to wrinkle, necks will become saggy, lines form around eyes and mouth, all in all it’s not a pretty picture!
Collagen is produced by the skin and other parts of the body, and when you are young you have an abundance of collagen in your body, which is why young children have such lovely shiny hair and smooth skin. It is referred to as the cement which holds everything together.
Collagen Structure
The skin is made up of three layers, epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The second layer of the skin (dermis) is where the protein collagen is found. Collagen molecules are bundled together throughout the dermis.
Collagen Wrinkle Treatment
It cannot be absorbed through the skin, collagen molecules are way to large to penetrate into the dermis (second layer of skin), so when you apply an anti wrinkle cream which boasts collagen, it will just sit on top of your skin temporarily covering your wrinkles.
The anti aging industry is a huge business, many of us want to look younger, which makes it easy for these big companies to convince you their cream with collagen will do the trick. Well, it certainly is a trick and it is on the consumer.
Think carefully before you buy an anti aging cream which boasts this type of protein an important ingredient, and check the rest of the ingredients to see what other useless stuff is in there, probably heaps!
Always remember, anti aging facial creams with chemicals in them can actually age you instead of reversing aging.
You need to look for an anti aging product which will help stimulate skin cells, in order to boost collagen production.
How to build collagen with vitamins/minerals in skin care products
- vitamin C
- vitamin E
- vitamin A
- copper peptides
Collagen Forming Foods
Foods rich in vitamin C such as; strawberries, oranges and Brussels sprouts.
Dark green leafy vegetables are an excellent source, try eating more kale, spinach, asparagus and collard.
Red fruits and vegetables contain lycopene, which act as antioxidants.
Green and black olives, cucumber and celery are rich in sulfur also important to collagen production.
Basically a healthy balanced diet, is the key to keeping you looking younger and helping to increase collagen.
Collagen Pills, Powder and Injections
There really is no scientific proof to say that collagen supplements work. Many say they do and many say they don’t. If you are unsure I suggest try a supplement and see for yourself.
As for the injections, they do work but only over the short term usually 3 to 6 months.
I enjoy silica benefits, which is a mineral needed in the body, for the building of collagen. I have certainly noticed a difference, with my hair and skin.
Eat plenty of collagen forming foods, take your supplements and always put on sunscreen, even if the sun is not out and you will give yourself the best collagen wrinkle treatment.

The aging process also brings along a by product, the appearance of the wrinkles. The eye area is the wrinkle magnet in most of the occasions. Nothing can be as discouraging than wrinkles under eyes. Under eye wrinkles make you older looking than the real age.
