Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid: An Easy Way to More Beautiful Skin?

A patient wants to know:

Is it true that you can drink collagen and hyaluronic acid and that the skin becomes more juvenile from supplying it with these substances?

Collagen and hyaluronic acid are natural components of our skin, hair, nails, and other body tissues. With increasing age their content decreases, also in our skin – this is why it becomes thinner, less elastic, dryer, and wrinkly.

If you supply your body with enough collagen and hyaluronic acid by the intake of food or by drinking it, the skin’s content of collagen and hyaluronic acid rises and it becomes recognizably fuller and elastic, tiny wrinkles disappear and skin moisture increases.

Depending on the skin condition, local treatments with autologous stem cells, growth factors, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), as well as a therapy with bioidentical hormones (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, BHRT) could contribute to better skin quality.
