Patients are constantly seeking ways to combat the signs of aging and maintain quality skin for years to come. Dr. M. José Villares Moreno, a specialist in aesthetic medicine, emphasizes the importance of collagen in maintaining a youthful appearance. Collagen, along with elastin, forms the framework that supports the structure of the skin. However, as we age, collagen production decreases, leading to the loss of skin structure and the appearance of wrinkles.
To counteract this, Dr. Villares recommends incorporating good habits such as proper nutrition, rest, hydration, sun protection, and stress management. Additionally, treatments like collagen and elastin inducers, along with substances like hyaluronic acid and biostimulators, can help stimulate collagen production and improve skin health.
Ultimately, the key to achieving healthy and youthful skin is to start early and take preventive measures to maintain collagen levels. With the right habits and treatments, patients can enjoy a fresh and natural appearance for years to come.
