Collagen loss starts sooner than you might think.
By your late twenties, it’s already declining around 1% per year. By 45, your skin may have lost up to 25% of its natural plumpness.
Restoring collagen is an effective option, but a growing aesthetic trend focuses on early replenishment — known as “collagen banking.”
The idea? Use collagen-stimulating treatments to proactively boost production now so your body has more later.
Here are the three most popular ways to increase that supply, according to Raleigh’s own Synergy Face + Body:
Sculptra and biostimulators
Sculptra is a dermal filler that uses polylactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This process works gradually over time, leading to long-lasting, natural-looking results.
RF Microneedling
This non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy and microneedles to penetrate deep into the skin, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, another essential protein.
Sofwave
Sofwave harnesses ultrasound technology to precisely heat the mid-dermal tissue at just the right depth and temperature, rejuvenating collagen fibers with zero downtime.
