Albany Collagen
Making up 25% of the dry protein weight of the body, collagen is the fibrous, elastic, connective tissue that holds our bodies together. It is the most abundant protein in the body and provides natural structural support for skin, hair, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. Aging slows down collagen production. The diminished collagen levels in the skin, in conjunction with a generalized thinning and loss of hydration, creates visible wrinkles. Reduced collagen levels also lead to a loss of texture and tone of the skin.
Collagen Replacement Therapy
Smiling, frowning and squinting can form facial lines and wrinkles because of reduced levels of collagen in the body. Collagen Replacement Therapy can reduce these lines and wrinkles and provide a smoother, more youthful appearance to the skin. Collagen Replacement Therapy in the Albany and Schenectady area involves non-surgical injections of collagen beneath the wrinkle or crease, elevating it to the level of the surrounding skin.
Since it was first developed in the 1970s by physicians and scientists at Stanford University, more than 1.5 million collagen treatments have been performed worldwide.
