Two Distinct regions of the integumentary system: epidermis & dermis. Underneath dermis is hypodermis (superficial fascia), also called subcutaneous tissue which is composed of loose connective tissue (mostly areolar and adipose).
A collagen facial is a treatment designed to restore the depleted collage in your face and rejuvenate your skin. Ultimately, a collagen facial will slow down the aging process by replenishing your body's natural proteins through external applications.
The Causes And Effects Of Collagen Loss By NewBeauty Staff | July 12, 2010 Collagen is a tough, almost rubbery protein that's created by cells called fibroblasts. Packed together as bundles, fibrous bands of collagen serve as the main support system of the dermis, the deepest layer of skin. Collagen gives skin its strength, and it makes skin firm and flexible with the help of elastin. Collagen is essential for young-looking skin because it gives structure to its cells. When collagen levels becomes depleted, the skin has little internal support, causing it to sag and contributing to wrinkles. Furthermore, when there is ample collagen in the skin, it's strong and more resistant to the effects of weight gain, so a lack of it can lead to a greater risk of stretch marks. Around age 35, collagen production naturally begins to taper off, and the quality of the collagen diminishes.
