Facial Aesthetics: Collagen and Skin Rejuvenation
Course Overview
Episode 1 dives into the science of collagen, its crucial role in skin health, and the factors that influence its production and degradation. Healthcare professionals will gain a deeper understanding of how collagen impacts skin appearance and integrity, especially as we age. Topics covered include how collagen production changes over time, the role of estrogen in collagen synthesis, and how environmental factors like UV exposure and pollution contribute to collagen breakdown. Learn how nutrition, lifestyle, and systemic conditions also affect collagen levels, and why supporting collagen is key for maintaining youthful, healthy skin.
Episode 2 explores the latest, most effective treatments for skin rejuvenation that stimulate collagen production. Healthcare professionals will gain insight into non-invasive treatments, such as microneedling, radiofrequency, and laser therapies, that help restore collagen and rejuvenate the skin. We also cover the benefits and limitations of injectable treatments like collagen stimulators and dermal fillers, and the role of collagen supplements. Learn how to guide patients in selecting the most appropriate treatment options based on their unique skin types and goals, and stay updated on the newest advancements in collagen-based therapies.
