What is COLLAGEN Anyway??

Great Question..We read so much about Collagen these days and improving it, Right?! 

As as we Age, we lose approx. 1% of our dermal collagen per year and what does this mean, decrease strength and elasticity of our skin..in simple terms sagging and more lines and wrinkles! Yuk! What can we do to fix it?? 
Photofacial by Laser IPL at a Medical Spa or Office is the best resource to begin by helping you build more collagen, smoothing your skin, eliminating Rosacea, Age Spots, Freckles and Capillaries..like those pesky ones especially around one's nose often...This is amazing Technology AND otherwise Fillers..Fillers are typically comprised of hyaluronic acid and some have calcium particles in them too..and these fillers not only replace collagen/hyaluronic acid BUT also help You rebuild and replenish some for your self as does the Laser IPL Photofacial! Hope this helps! And, You can read in book "MedSpa" now available on Amazon.com, an excerpt written by me for the Spa in more formal terminology to clarify further! Hope this helps..and you are invited to come in anytime for FREE Skin Analysis and Consultation at our MedSpa, In HIS Image Day Spa,LLC in Marietta, Ga!
