How to Rebuild and
Prevent Future Loss
How can you retain your collagen?
• Limit your exposure to ultraviolet rays and wear a sunscreen
daily. Overexposure to the sun can weaken both collagen
and elastin fibers, leading to loss and sagging in the skin.
* Incorporate retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids into your
weekly skin care regimen. These ingredients work to
increase cell turnover, as well as target fibroblasts—the cells
that produce collagen.
* For those individuals who want a more aggressive approach,
advanced modality treatments such as chemical peels, laser
treatments, and skin rejuvenation all work to boost collagen
by producing a controlled wound to the skin.
