Do collagen supplements actually work?
If only it were that simple.
Let’s work backwards.
What’s responsible for making collagen? Fibroblast cells.
What triggers fibroblast cells? Microtrauma.
It’s a simple equation.
On the one end be healthy:
- exercise,
- avoid processed foods,
- eat high antioxidant foods,
- limit harmful exposures (smoking, UV)
- sleep, recover & manage chronic stress (easier said than done!)
On the other: give your skin a reason to repair itself with consistent low grade microtrauma & repair:
- microneedling
- lasers
- threads
- LED lights
- skincare (vit c and retinols)
