What is Baby Collagen? A popular injection treatment for improving dark circles and fine lines under the eyes
My journey into aesthetic medicine stems from a desire to help enrich and beautify lives beyond simply treating illness. My specialties include hyaluronic acid, Botox, and thread lifts. I provide treatments that enhance each individual's unique qualities and bring out an elegant, natural beauty. For concerns around the eyes that are difficult to improve with dermatology alone, I also perform surgical procedures. By integrating dermatology and surgery, I holistically balance the entire face. With three periods of overseas study, I am also able to provide consultations in English.
Hello!
I am Ayuri Yokoyama, a plastic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist.
"Lately, I've been noticing dark circles and fine lines under my eyes..."
"I want a more natural finish than hyaluronic acid."
"I have reservations about hyaluronic acid..."
For those people, the thing that's currently getting attention isBaby Collagenis.
A relatively new injectable treatment within aesthetic medicine, it is particularly effective for treating the delicate areas around the eyes.
This time, we will explain in detail the overview, effects, duration, and suitability of baby collagen.
1. What is Baby Collagen?
Baby Collagen is,A 1:1 blend of Type I and Type III collagen for injectionis.
This Type III collagen is abundant in the skin of newborn babies and plays a significant role in skin elasticity and firmness.
As we age, Type III collagen decreases, leading to thinner skin and wrinkles. However, injecting baby collagen can compensate for this deficiency.
The product is FDA-approved in the United States and highly safe, and is widely used in beauty clinics in Japan as well.
