Synthetic Collagen and Why I am Not Waiting For It

Collagen is one of the substances that help our skin to stay young looking. Some people are hoping synthetic collagen in injections will bring back their youthful appearance again.

In the past using synthetic in collagen injections wasn’t available because scientist couldn’t figure out how to make a product that closely resembled human collagen. In 2006 scientist in Wisconsin created the first synthetic collagen that can be used for medical purposes in burn patients and reconstruction of bones. There are also plans in using this collagen for cosmetic purposes, such as collagen injections, but at this time there is not enough produced for that reason.

Collagen injections now are comprised mainly of bovine collagen. These can cause allergic reactions and skin infections. If you are one that is not allergic to the test done before the procedure, you still may develop an infection if the doctor doing the procedure doesn’t adhere to strict hygiene practices.

These injections also are only good for a few months, then you have to go back and have them done again. They are done by plastic surgeons, so you know they aren’t going to be cheap.

As far as the synthetic collagen goes, a lot of studies need to done, before I would deem it safe to inject into the skin. Putting synthetic things into our body just doesn’t sit right with me. I would much rather go natural. I am certainly not one waiting around for a collagen injection.

Instead I have found natural skin care products that stimulate my body to increase collagen. I can’t get more natural collagen than that. Products that do this contain some special ingredients listed below.

1) Functional Keratin found in CynergyTK. Works great at stimulating the body to produce collagen to rid your face of wrinkles and fine lines.

2) Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10 a form of CoenzymeQ10 that also stimulates the body to produce more natural collagen.

3) Active manuka honey works well stimulating the immune system and also supports the skin’s renewal process to build stronger collagen.

4) Phytessence Wakame helps to maintain the collagen and elastin in our skin by stopping the activity of hyaluronidase at destroying the hyaluronic acid in our skin.

You can find all these substances in anti aging skin care products from a company in New Zealand. So don’t wait around for synthetic collagen to be used for cosmetic purposes. This is available right now and is safe and very effective.

Is Your Collagen Replacement Safe and Does it Work?

As we age are skin begins to show signs of aging. The main reason for this is loss of collagen in our body. Finding collagen replacement is easy if you know what you are looking for.

There are many misleading ways that advertisers try to get you to buy their products for younger looking skin. Some manufactures want you to believe that applying products that contain collagen to your skin can eliminate the wrinkles and fine lines that begin to appear as we age. This collagen replacement won’t work at helping your skin to stay younger looking. Reason being is the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin.

You may also be familiar with collagen replacement through injections. This method does work, but there are some risks involved and they are temporary. The procedures need to be done every 3 – 4 months. This can be quite costly – average cost is around $275 per injection. Take that times 4 times a year and you have a procedure that is costing you over a thousand dollars a year.

I have never had an injection, so I don’t personally know how uncomfortable they are. I’ve read reviews where some say the pain level is high and others say it is mild. I’m not one who likes pain, so I would rather not try it to find out what the pain level may be for me. And I also don’t want to take the risk of getting an infection.

A safer and far less expensive way to reduce wrinkles and fine lines is to find products that will naturally produce collagen in your body. One such ingredient is CynergyTK. This amazing substance will stimulate your own collagen to increase to levels where you will see results at wrinkle reduction. It also increases your elastin production, which is another vital skin protein you need to combat the wrinkles as you age.

Other products to consider to naturally produce collagen are Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10 and Active Manuka Honey. Both of these ingredients will also stimulate your body to produce more collagen for your skin to use. Another benefit is both of these have high levels of antioxidants to help combat the free radicals in the skin that add to the signs of aging.

You can find all these products in skin care products for a fraction of the cost of collagen replacement injections. Using products that naturally produce collagen is a much safer way to younger looking skin. They produce wonderful results and you won’t have a need to try anything else.
