Collagen, Elastin & the Biology of Aging

Collagen contributes tensile strength; elastin helps tissues recoil. Their integrity changes with age and is influenced by sun exposure, glycation, enzymes, hormones, and tissue turnover. Collagen production requires amino acids and supporting nutrients, while professional treatments may encourage remodelling. We focus on both sides of the equation: preserving what the skin has and supporting its ability to renew.
