Rejuvenate Your Collagen: Autumn Skincare Specials to Boost Your Radiance
Every summer leaves us in dire need of several trips to the spa—Bradenton summers especially. With fall finally on the horizon, now is the perfect time to begin a rejuvenation routine that will get your skin firm and fortified for the holidays.
Not sure where to start? The expert estheticians at Bellagena Skincare Studio and Med Spa have put together a full menu of our services (including special offers for September) specially designed to boost your collagen and lift your skin as well as your spirits. Autumn, here we come!
What Happens When Collagen Runs Low
Collagen is an important protein throughout your body. In your skin, it’s responsible for strength as well as elasticity. It also works underneath to ensure you’ve got plenty of fresh, new skin cells. Unfortunately, age as well as sun damage—two things we’re very familiar with here on the Suncoast—significantly reduce collagen production. (And when menopause hits, it drops off even more.)
The result is thin skin that can no longer bounce back, sagging where it used to stretch. Reduced collagen is the No. 1 factor, by far, creating folds, lines, and wrinkles.
How to Get Collagen Back: Treatments and Procedures
Fortunately, we now have loads of collagen-boosting skincare solutions backed by medical science. Let’s start with med spa services to rebuild your skin’s underlying structure and return its natural spring.
- Microneedling: It’s straightforward, it’s effective, and it’s scientifically proven to stimulate collagen production. Microneedling is minimally invasive, but it still reaches that vital deeper layer, where collagen creates your skins whole support system.
- DENZA: Using alternating radiofrequencies, DENZA gently stimulates near the skin’s surface to address superficial sagging while also reaching deeper down to build collagen in that structural layer over the long-term.
- Bellagena’s Signature Facial: When you’re looking for a collagen-boosting facial in Bradenton, our Signature Facial is the one. Choose your preferred exfoliation (microderm/dermaplane or light peel), then sit back for light therapy, an upgraded mask and/or microcurrent. Your collagen production will be supercharged in every direction.
Boost Your Spa Treatment
For when you’ve had an especially long summer or you just want to kick your collagen into the highest gear you’ve got from the start, add a spa-grade product to your treatment, right when your skin is most open to absorption.
- Mask: Cranberry Lactic Pro/Collagen + Elastin
- Serum: VitaC Serum
- Eye: PeptiDerm/Collagen + Elastin Eye
- Moisturizer: PeptiDerm/Collagen + Elastin Cream
- Tox: Peptides in Daxxify
How to Get Collagen Back: Home Products
Of course, as any skincare expert can tell you, spa treatments can only go so far. Your skin needs daily attention.
To ensure that you’re getting the most out of the time you spend at Bellagena, be sure to ask your esthetician about what products you should be using, and how to apply them. Here are some outstanding collagen-boosting products from our favorite small-batch, high-quality spa skincare brands:
- Sanitas: PeptiDerm Firming Serum, PeptiDerm Moisturizer, Collagen + Elastin Serum, AHA Resurfacing Peel Kit
- AnteAGE: MD Serum + Accelerator (for clinical-grade peptide and growth factor support)
- Obagi: Trio Kit (Vitamin C, Peptide Serum, Moisturizer), Tretinoin
And lastly, don’t forget to take a skin health supplement to ensure that your body has all the supplies it needs to support all the collagen production you’re stimulating.
