It’s easy to think that injectables like Botulinum, dermal fillers, biostimulators and threads are the holy grail of anti-ageing.

However, there’s so much more to slowing down the clock and keeping that sharp jawline than that. While these injectables are powerful tools in the arsenal at Skin Renewal, they’re just one piece of the large puzzle. Think of them as the supporting actors in a blockbuster movie – essential, but not the whole story.

True rejuvenation lies in harnessing the power of MULTIPLE pillars, from nourishing your skin with the right skincare regimen, protecting it from harmful UV rays to embracing healthy habits together with exploring the transformative effects of collagen induction magic.

Why would you limit yourself to just one chapter when you can rewrite your skin’s entire story? Let’s take a deep dive into how collagen-boosting treatments maintain the integrity of your skin and discover why skin integrity is so important to defy the hands of time and maintain that youthful jawline.

Understanding the Science: Why is skin integrity so important?

As we age, our skin undergoes significant changes. One of the primary contributors to the ageing appearance of the skin, involving sagging and jowling along the jawline, is the natural ageing process. This process leads to a loss of skin elasticity and firmness, primarily attributed to the decrease in collagen and elastin production. These essential proteins provide firmness and elasticity to the skin and as we age, the skin loses these proteins at a rate of 1% per year. This leads to a decline in skin integrity and the development of sagging skin, jowls, and wrinkles

That’s why skin integrity is super important for keeping your face firm and sag-free. Think of it like this: your skin is attached to underlying structures called true retaining ligaments, kind of like how a tent is anchored to the ground. These anchoring points, help keep your face looking smooth and youthful. They act like support beams, holding everything in place and preventing sagging. Knowing how these ligaments work is essential for keeping your face stable and getting the best results from in-clinic Collagen Induction Treatments (CIT). CIT is a series of rejuvenation treatments, such as microneedling, which stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.

We also have false retaining ligaments which are also crucial for maintaining skin integrity. They also act as anchors, securing the superficial fascia (SMAS) to the deep fascia like Velcro sheets, preventing sagging caused by gravity and ageing. When these ligaments relax or elongate due to poor skin integrity, it can lead to sagging skin and musculature, impacting the face’s overall appearance.

So, keeping your skin in good shape is super important to make sure both kinds of ligaments can do their job well and keep your skin from drooping. Knowing what they do highlights how crucial it is to use the right procedures to boost collagen and firm up your skin, fighting against ageing and gravity in the long run.

The Solution: Collagen Induction Treatments

CIT targets thinning skin and helps improve its texture and firmness. Dermaceutical products used consistently over a year can marginally improve skin integrity, but in-clinic collagen induction treatments, such as RF microneedling, carboxytherapy and laser treatments such as PICOToning initially done 6 to 8 times over a year, can provide more significant benefits in preventing sagging skin.

RF needling, particularly, is a cutting-edge treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, effectively tightening and rejuvenating the skin. Then, there are also ND Yag skin tightening treatments that help restore elasticity and firmness to menopausal skin, promoting a more youthful appearance, while the Titan laser treatment, which requires specialised laser heads for optimal results, effectively addresses skin laxity.

These treatments stimulate collagen and elastin production more directly by causing controlled inflammation in the skin, leading to improved skin firmness and texture. By kickstarting cell renewal and collagen production these treatments create new collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, more resilient skin.

PICOToning treatments use advanced picosecond technology to target dark patches and uneven skin tone. Suitable for all skin types, this treatment offers significant improvement with minimal downtime.

Picture this: a journey of transformation where every treatment step leads to a more radiant, resilient you. By igniting the spark of cell renewal and awakening collagen production, these treatments breathe new life into your skin. With each session, you’re building a foundation of strength and vitality, paving the way for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

The best part is that as your skin becomes stronger and more resilient, the need for frequent dermal fillers diminishes. It’s like laying down a sturdy bridge that carries you gracefully into the future, where confidence and beauty know no bounds. So let’s embark on this journey together – where each treatment is a step closer to unlocking your true radiance and embracing the beauty of ageless living.
