Why is Collagen So Important?

Why is collagen so important for aesthetic treatment? Imagine collagen as a superhero of your skin. Tirelessly working to keep it firm and youthful. As we age, the body's natural collagen production decreases. This decline is influenced by various factors including genetics, hormonal changes, and environmental factors such as sun exposure and pollution.

At Aeon, we place the spotlight on collagen because it's the ultimate rejuvenator for your skin. The treatments we advocate focus on giving your skin the boost it craves to stay strong and fresh. When these procedures kick start collagen production, it is not a quick superficial fix. It's more like a long lasting makeover for your skin. So consider collagen as your skin's trusted companion.

Always there to ensure you look and feel your best by keeping everything nice and tight.

4) Antioxidants help protect the skin from oxidative stress, which can contribute to collagen breakdown. Include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet to ensure a diverse range of antioxidants.
