Wrinkles may be inevitable as we age, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work to prevent, minimize, reduce, and eliminate them. A high-quality and consistent skincare routine is a great place to start, but we can’t forget about collagen! Collagen is a natural protein that the body creates. It contributes to the health, longevity, and elasticity of the skin.

As we age, collagen production naturally slows down, which is why we must focus on repairing it and stimulating more growth. This can be done in a few ways – one being our non-invasive collagen repair treatment, designed to reduce wrinkles and plump your skin gently and safely.

Collagen Repair

Our collagen repair treatment combines oxygen infusion and our patented pure collagen masque to eliminate toxins, reduce redness, and offer anti-oxidizing benefits. This is all done through gentle and comfortable means – no needles, surgeries, injections, or otherwise dangerous procedures.

The Process

Not only is our collagen repair treatment effective and non-invasive, but it’s also relaxing. You’ll simply lay back and enjoy a peaceful treatment while we take you through the steps.

Here is what you can expect:

• First, we cleanse your skin to prepare a fresh, clean canvas.
• Next, we exfoliate your skin with an all-natural scrub to remove dead skin and open the pores for a deeper treatment.
• Toning is next, where your skin is nourished and brought back to a proper pH balance.
• Next, we perform oxygen infusion therapy. We load a special serum into the device, infusing the oxygen with vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and more. Then, the handheld applicator delivers this infused oxygen directly into your pores for maximum penetration.
• The masque is next. Composed of 92 percent collagen and red algae, this mask delivers even more nutrients right into your skin. A hyaluronic acid serum is applied after to enhance its properties.
• Lastly is infusion. We place a dome-like piece over your face while you relax for about 30 minutes.
• Once this is done, we seal everything in with a moisturizer that enhances the efficacy of all the products used.
• Lastly, we apply zinc-based sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Preparation

Although it’s a simple and gentle process, there are still a few things you should do to maximize the comfort and efficacy of the treatment:

• Avoid sun exposure before your appointment. Sunburned skin is more difficult to treat, and it may not even be possible.
• Inform your skincare professional of any medications you’re currently taking – both oral and topical. Some medications may interfere with the products we use. We’ll advise whether medication can be paused or if treatment isn’t possible.
• Wear no makeup. We clean canvas to work with, and makeup will only delay the treatment as we’ll need to remove it before starting.

Aftercare

Once done, your skin will be refreshed, rejuvenated, hydrated, and nicely plumped – but it may also be sensitive for a short period. You don’t need to take any downtime for a full “recovery,” and you can return to regular activities right away – such as work, school, and social events. That said, there are a few aftercare instructions you must follow to ensure comfort and optimal results:

• Avoid sun exposure. Too much sun may cause hyperpigmentation.
• Use a sunblock product of at least SPF 30 before and after treatment to avoid burning and sun damage/irritation.
• Treat skin gently for 24 hours following your appointment. We recommend no harsh products or other rigorous treatments be done or applied.
• Always maintain a proper skincare routine. If you’re unsure how to go about this, your skincare professional can go over the right type of routine for you and make some recommendations.

Managing Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Our collagen repair treatment is one of many things we offer to help keep your skin in tip-top shape! Another popular wrinkle-reduction treatment is our chemical peels. The more intensive chemical peels can offer results that last up to a full year.

That being said, there are some steps you can take on your own to prevent and reduce wrinkles and boost collagen production:

• Protect yourself from the sun at all times. Too much sun exposure can damage skin and lead to premature aging, among other issues. Good quality sunscreen is always recommended when going outside. You can also wear protective clothing and wide-brimmed hats for additional protection.
• Moisturizing is a crucial part of any skincare routine. Hydrated skin is healthy skin. When skin is hydrated, it’s plumper and more elastic, reducing the chance of wrinkles forming at all.
• Stay hydrated inside, too. Hydration works from the inside as well as it does from the outside. Always ensure you’re drinking lots of water.
• Avoid smoking. Along with its myriad of health issues, smoking damages the collagen and elastin in your body which can lead to faster aging. Nicotine also causes your blood vessels to constrict, meaning your skin won’t get as much oxygen as it needs.
• Ensure you’re getting enough collagen-boosting nutrients. Things like vitamin C, copper, zinc, proline, and glycine are the building blocks of naturally produced collagen. Foods like mushrooms, peanuts, tofu, leafy greens, oranges, bell peppers, and dark chocolate contain these vital nutrients.
• Collagen supplements. Often sold as “collagen peptides” you can also supplement collagen every day to ensure you’re getting enough. This is not meant to replace a healthy, balanced diet with the right nutrients. But, it can help maintain collagen production in the body, especially as it ages.

Support Your Skin With Collagen Repair

Collagen is one of the most important elements when it comes to maintaining skin health and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. You must make the effort to support your natural collagen production through a healthy diet and a good skincare routine.

Beyond that, however, our oxygen infusion therapy and special collagen masque can offer an incredible boost to these efforts. By repairing the existing collagen, hydrating your skin, and promoting future collagen growth, you’ll see rapid anti-aging results.
