You can't see collagen, but it's the essence of healthy skin—and research shows yours is at risk. neocellhealth sponsored
, meanwhile, sound too good to be true, but new research on a specific, more easily absorbed collagen peptide is noteworthy. Women who took 2.5 grams of a collagen peptide called Verisol for eight weeks showed an increase in procollagen type 1 of 65 percent compared with a placebo, according to a study in the journal. Eye-wrinkle depth also decreased by 20 percent compared with the control.
Fractionated lasers, such as Fraxel, are another go-to, thanks to good results balanced with minimal downtime. They cause microscopic, controlled "injuries" in the collagen layer, which the body repairs by making, you guessed it, new collagen. Professional microneedling works in a similar, albeit lower-tech way; tiny puncture wounds on the surface of the skin jump-start the healing and collagen-building process, and also help collagen-building ingredients penetrate deeper, Moy says.
Another option in the dermatologists' toolkit: injectable hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane. Research shows that along with plumping wrinkles from below, they have an effect on skin's own collagen-making cells. "Skin cells are smart. When you inject fillers, they think, 'OK, this is how skin is structured now, let's produce more collagen to keep up,'" Hirsch says.
