The wonders of collagen creams

 Societal pressure to look young and stay looking young is getting stronger and stronger.  People continue to turn to collagen creams and injections to achieve a youthful and vibrant appearance.  Collagen is a mesh like structure that helps support and hold new skin cells in place.  Over time however, it degrades causing skin to sag and form fine lines and wrinkles.  Collagen creams are supposed to make us look and feel younger.

However, there is great debate on whether collagen creams actually work.  There are many men and women who are convinced that they do.  Scientists believe that collagen cannot be absorbed into the skin because the molecule is too large.  Rather it stays on the surface of your skin.  It does act as an excellent moisturizer but is believed to do little to strengthen your skin.

Rather than collagen creams, collagen injections are highly effective.  First performed in 1982, injections have increasingly gained in popularity because of their ability to remove fine lines and wrinkles immediately.  Although the effect is not permanent, it can last up to 6 months.  Your skin will appear smoother, softer and younger looking.  We highly recommend you consult your doctor first before proceeding with this form of treatment.
