Collagen Boosting Skin Treatments There’s no denying that collagen is the it-girl of the skin health game right now.
A
nd with the name ‘collagen’ currently flashing everywhere in bright shiny lights, we can confirm she is fundamental in holding everything together. Why? Collagen encourages cell renewal to replace dead skin cells and minimises the development of wrinkles. The result? Firmer, plumper more youthful skin! Collagen - you go girl! So, without further ado, let’s discuss exactly what treatments we offer at Caci that can help you to produce more of the superstar that is collagen. Because after-all, the superpower of collagen is that by stimulating its growth, it causes a domino effect. I.e. the more you have, the more your body can produce and maintain! Fractional CO2 Laser Fractional CO2 Laser is the ultimate in collagen induction as it creates the most advanced controlled wound response of all Caci treatments. This controlled damage will cause our bodies to start producing all of that collagen tissue we love to be stronger and firmer than before. To go a little more in depth, Fractional CO2 Laser uses a carbon dioxide laser that works
to tighten, resurface, and strengthen the skin. This process helps to address skin elasticity, scarring and fine lines and wrinkles. The small areas of skin treated prompts a cascade of healing and growth factors which pull the skin together and strengthen its integrity. The healing process is the part which helps to create more collagen. *Enter plumper, more resilient skin* Microneedling Microneedling is another amazing option for collagen stimulation. This treatment uses micro needles to penetrate skin, triggering our body’s own wound healing response. Which as we just learnt, when our skin is damaged, it produces new and improved collagen tissue. Vitamins and amino acids are the building blocks for collagen production; during a Microneedling treatment, a combination of hyaluronic acid, multi-vitamins and amino acids are infused to boost collagen production even more for healthier looking skin. Microneedling is great for treating acne scarring and suitable for most skin types. Skin Conditioning Treatments To support Caci’s advanced collagen stimulating treatments, we can also recommend their non-invasive correcting skin conditioning treatments with collagen inducing benefits. Red Light Therapy is a treatment that
stimulates our fibroblasts which stimulates collagen. Fibroblasts are the principle active cell of connective tissue and play a critical role in wound healing. Microdermabrasion, a popular exfoliating treatment, causes inflammation in the skin. This inflammation results in stimulating collagen to help to rejuvenate the skin. And Caci’s Sonophoresis Skincare Infusion; a treatment which uses soundwaves to deeply penetrate active ingredients towards the skin’s
dermis. These active ingredients can consist of vitamin C and peptides, both encourage the stimulation of collagen. INTERESTED? Chat to the skin health experts at Caci Whangārei. Their consultations are always complimentary. Visit their beautiful clinic on Clyde St, Whangārei. Or caci.co.nz
