Beyond Collagen – The Science of Skin Rejuvenation & Collagen Production
By the time you reach 40, your skin may have lost up to 25% of its natural collagen production, leading to sagging, fine lines, and loss of volume. But the good news? Science-backed solutions can restore, maintain, and enhance collagen production to keep your skin firm and youthful for years to come.
At Newcastle Skin Clinic, we use a multi-faceted approach to collagen restoration and skin tightening, combining advanced treatments, high-performance skincare, and targeted collagen supplements to rebuild skin structure and elasticity naturally.
UNDERSTANDING COLLAGEN: THE FOUNDATION OF YOUTHFUL SKIN
Collagen is a vital protein that gives skin its strength and firmness. But external factors like UV exposure, stress, diet, and ageing cause collagen degradation, leading to visible signs of ageing. To combat this, it’s essential to stimulate collagen production through a combination of nutrition, skincare, bio-stimulators and skin rejuvenation treatments for skin tightening.
HOW TO BOOST COLLAGEN PRODUCTION NATURALLY
- Diet: Eat collagen-rich foods like bone broth, oily fish, and lean proteins. Vitamin C-rich foods (citrus, berries, leafy greens) are essential for collagen synthesis.
- Supplements: Medical-grade collagen supplements like Totally Derma and Skinade contain hydrolysed collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants to restore hydration, elasticity, and skin structure.
- Skincare: Medical-grade skincare with vitamin C, retinol, and peptides can support collagen synthesis and improve skin texture. Which is makes the ZO Skin Health range the right choice when seeking skin rejuvenation.
- Professional Treatments: Advanced in-clinic treatments like Sculptra, Kysense, Sofwave, microneedling, and WOW facial trigger collagen production at a deeper level for ultimate skin tightening results.
THE BEST TREATMENTS FOR COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
Sculptra: The Gold Standard in Bio-Stimulation
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra is a ‘bio-stimulator’ ie. a collagen-stimulating injectable that gradually restores volume and improves skin structure by triggering natural collagen production. Ideal for those experiencing significant skin laxity and loss of definition, seeking skin tightening.
Kysense: A New Generation of HA-Based Collagen Stimulators
Unlike conventional dermal fillers, Kysense not only restores lost volume but also stimulates collagen, making it a dual-action skin rejuvenation treatment for long-term benefits.
Sofwave: Non-Invasive Ultrasound Skin Tightening
Using SUPERB ultrasound technology, Sofwave penetrates the skin at the optimal depth to stimulate collagen regeneration. This tightens, lifts, and firms skin with zero downtime—perfect for those looking for a non-surgical facelift alternative.
Microneedling & Mesotherapy: The WOW facial
Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a wound-healing response that boosts collagen. When paired with mesotherapy serums, it enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin texture. This is where WOW facial is a cut above any other microneedling treatment, as it combines both therapies creating an advanced treatment that is designed to give long lasting results, bringing skin back to full health.
