A skin surgeon isn’t just someone you see when you need scar removal services. Although Lauren A. Daman, MD, PC offers such treatments, she also works to help her patients combat the effects of aging through collagen treatments. At her Hartford, CT, office, she uses both her skill and experience to provide patients with a more youthful appearance.

Although many people have heard about collagen treatments, most do not fully know just how they help fight the effects of aging. Here, this skilled skin surgeon will explain the science behind collagen treatments.

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the human body. Along with elastin, it helps the skin stay firm. However, by the time the average person reaches the age of 30, their collagen begins to significantly and rapidly deplete in the body. As a result, the skin tends to lose its “bounce” and often becomes droopy, weak, and more easily harmed.

With the help of a skin surgeon, you can counteract this process. Through injections of natural collagen, a skin surgeon is able to reduce signs of aging throughout the body. This type of cosmetic treatment benefits numerous patients. In addition to helping people looking to enjoy a more youthful appearance, it has also been found useful when treating more severe issues, like burn scars.

At the office of Lauren A. Daman, MD, PC, patients are in the hands of a skin surgeon who offers a wide range of treatment options, including microdermabrasion, in order to provide the best results possible. If you’re over the age of 30 and want to know whether or not collagen will help you look your best, she’ll work with you to determine if this option is right for you.
