Do Chemical Peels Increase Collagen? And Other Procedures That Promote Collagen Production
After the age of 25, collagen production slows down and aging commences at a faster rate. Therefore, one of the keys to anti-aging skincare is increasing collagen production on the surface and underneath the skin. There are several professional skincare options that help with collagen. So, do chemical peels increase collagen?
Chemical peels can help increase collagen production. Though, their primary function is to remove the surface layers of skin and reveal the newer skin beneath. This does create a slight collagen response since the new skin is often not completely done forming yet and is irritated. However, you can further this collagen response with microneedling.
Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—is a procedure that creates micro-injuries in the skin that stimulates a powerful collagen response. When performed a few weeks after a chemical peel, this promotes the ideal amount of collagen to help treat pitted acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, and more. We offer the glow up package for patients wanting to take advantage of this powerful treatment duo.
