What is the secret to beautiful skin that looks smoother and younger?
We all dream of a “beautiful skin”: firm, healthy, and smooth with an even complexion.
Skin that looks younger than we actually are, with a radiant glow often associated with our health, vitality, or overall well-being.
But do you also know which ingredient is responsible for beautiful skin?
One particular ingredient is indispensable when it comes to skin quality, namely collagen, which is responsible for the skin’s resilience and suppleness.
What is collagen?
Collagen is essential for beautiful skin. Along with elastin and hyaluronic acid, it is one of the most important building blocks.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body, naturally produced by our cells. It is present in large quantities throughout the body, particularly in the skin, where it forms a network of strong and flexible fibers. In proportion, collagen is stronger than steel! But because the collagen fibers are so stretchable, they also provide the elasticity needed for our facial expressions.
So far, so good. Collagen is the key to beautiful skin…
But what happens when the quantity and quality of this essential component for beautiful skin decrease as we age?
How does our collagen content affect the aging process of our skin?
The natural aging processes of the skin start gradually from the age of 25. Over the years, the natural production of collagen and elastin decreases, and the regeneration and activity of skin cells and glands slow down, which affects the beauty and quality of the skin.
In young and healthy skin, more collagen is produced than broken down. However, over time, this changes: production slows down while breakdown increases.
From the age of 25, collagen production starts to decline, and by the time we reach 60, it can have decreased by up to 60%. This process is accelerated by factors such as UV radiation, smoking, and air pollution. This leads to the formation of wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of elasticity, and other visible signs of skin aging, such as an uneven skin texture or a dull complexion.

- Create a lifting effect
- Reshape facial contours
Key features of our fillers:
- Slowly absorbed by the body
- Biocompatible and biodegradable: they are naturally broken down by the body
- Continue to work by stimulating the skin’s own production of collagen and elastin, so the effect lasts up to 1 year.
