Try out the latest collagen formulas for skin-boosting success

Collagen is the most prominent protein in our body, connecting our tissues, keeping our joints healthy, and when it comes to skin – providing plumpness and giving us structure and elasticity. We lose 1% of collagen every year from the age of 25, but a good routine can help with preserving and reboosting it. Whether supplements, topical skin stars or innovative treatments, the time is now to focus on replenishing.

Marine Beauty Collagen

Proto-col have launched their first marine collagen range, formulated with VERISOL F® – one of the highest strength marine collagen peptides in Europe. Founded by pentathlete James Greenwell to help repair his body after a sporting injury, the sachets are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, promising to reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. They’re also red berry-flavoured for a tastier experience.

Hada Labo Sunscreen

Not technically a collagen product, but all good skincare starts with protecting what’s already there, with UVA radiation damaging collagen and elastin in the skin. The newest SPF50 sunscreen launches from the Japanese brand contain three forms of hyaluronic acid and squalane — a moisturising lipid that boosts collagen and counteracts wrinkles.

RedTouch Collagen System

Currently the only medical laser targeting collagen directly, this revolutionary system has a unique wavelength, rejuvenating skin by acting on collagen fibre levels in the vessel wall. This creates small microzones of thermal damage, about 1mm in diameter, which leads to immediate collagen fibre destruction, then new collagen fibres being created. The result is clearer, firmer and tighter skin.

Treatments are quick, painless and don’t involve any downtime. The skincare target list includes effective wrinkle reduction, benign pigmented lesion removal, skin laxity, textural scar improvement and melasma. Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or greyish patches on the face, generally triggered by hormones or sun exposure. Treatments are exclusively available within Scotland at Laser Skin Renewal in Glasgow.
