Collagen Vaccine
The collagen vaccine is applied to give your skin a plump and smooth appearance. To understand collagen, you must first understand your skin. The skin consists of three layers: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis). The topmost layer, known as the epidermis, controls water loss in cells and tissues. Without this protective barrier, the body dehydrates quickly, meaning it becomes dehydrated. Just below the epidermis is the second layer, that is, the dermis. Although the dermis contains blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles, it is primarily composed of a protein called “collagen”. This protein forms a network of fibers that provide a framework for the growth of cells and blood vessels. Since it is the primary component of the dermis, collagen acts as a support structure for the skin. The hypodermis is a layer of fat and connective tissue that contains larger blood vessels and nerves. It also houses sweat glands, fat and collagen cells. The hypodermis is responsible for maintaining the temperature of your body and your vitally important internal organs.
Why do lines form on the skin?
On young skin; the collagen framework becomes firm, the skin remains moist and elastic. When young, the skin is resistant to facial expressions and environmental influences. However, over time, the support structure weakens and the skin loses its elasticity. As collagen support decreases, the skin begins to lose volume. Every time you smile, every time you frown, even when you are silent, you are putting stress on collagen in your skin. The effect of these facial expressions is cumulative and over time, lines begin to form on the face.
How does the collagen vaccine work?
The collagen vaccine provides your skin with natural collagen, which it begins to lose. As the distribution of the support structure is renewed, the natural beauty of your skin increases. But this vaccine benefits you only when administered by a doctor specialized in the field.
How is the collagen vaccine administered?
If you do not have any allergies, your doctor will start administering the collagen vaccine. A small injection of local anesthesia may be administered to numb the treated area. Since the vaccination is performed by means of very fine-tipped needles, no pain is felt in any way during the procedure. The areas to be applied according to the needs of your face, the number of sessions is decided. It is tried to provide the smoothest possible with a treatment plan specially developed for the individual.
How often is it applied?
It can be applied as 1-5 sessions at intervals of 1-3 weeks according to the intervals needs of the person. After the collagen decoction, work and social life can be continued without any interruption. Slight redness may occur on the skin, which passes in just a few hours. According to the sensitivity of the skin, the scars left the next day can be easily covered with makeup. The collagen vaccine becomes much more effective if it is used in combination with other supportive methods or alternately. Collagen vaccine; if applied before botox, it accelerates the repair of wrinkles. If used together with the filling, it increases the sagging and wrinkle effectiveness of the fillings.
