Collagen

Supporting skin, connective tissue & overall wellbeing

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body and is an important structural component of the skin, bones, joints and connective tissues.

Our collagen treatment is administered by intramuscular (IM) injection following an individual health consultation and suitability assessment.

Why is collagen important?

Natural collagen production gradually declines as we age. Lifestyle and environmental factors can also influence the appearance and condition of our skin and connective tissues.

Collagen plays an important role in:

SKIN & ELASTICITY
Collagen provides structural support to the skin and contributes to its firmness and elasticity.

JOINTS & CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Collagen is naturally present within cartilage, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues throughout the body.

BONES
Collagen forms part of the structural framework of bone and works alongside minerals to support normal bone structure.

HAIR & NAILS
Collagen contains amino acids that form part of the building blocks used throughout the body’s tissues, including the skin and its associated structures.

HEALTHY AGEING
As our natural collagen levels decline with age, supporting good nutrition, hydration and a healthy lifestyle can help maintain normal skin and connective tissue health.
