How much have you spent on collagen this year? Powders, gummies, the cream with "collagen" printed right on the jar.
If your skin doesn't look much different, there's a reason. Collagen in a cream is too large to get past your skin barrier, so it mostly hydrates the surface. Collagen you drink gets digested, and nothing sends it to your face. Some studies show a small bump in hydration, but most of those studies were funded by supplement brands.
What gets your skin making more of its own collagen is a signal inside the dermis. Retinoids, microneedling, laser and RF treatments, and biostimulatory injectables all work that way. They take longer and they need a plan, but they work with the biology you already have.
At Fine Lines, we'll look at what you're using now, tell you honestly what's worth keeping, and build a collagen plan that fits your skin and your budget here in St. Albert.
Swipe through the full Collagen Issue, then save it for the next time a label promises firmer skin in a jar.
