Healing & Rejuvenating Properties

BioCell Collagen II™ has rejuvenating properties. Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid also play a key role in the regeneration and healing of skin tissue. This is done through a process known as epithelialization, when the body stimulates higher collagen and HA production to regenerate connective tissue. Higher HA and Collagen concentrations present at the wound site during this critical process leads to quicker and better healing, leaving the skin less susceptible to scaring.
Skin Structure & Function
Normal skin function requires the presence of normal physiological substances in and around the skin cells. Of the many substances required for the normal functioning of the skin, Collagen is one of the most important substances. It provides the structural support to skin thereby maintaining the skin tone, suppleness and elasticity; giving the skin it's amazing beauty. Without sufficient Collagen our body would literally unravel itself from the seams, losing its connective properties and it's ability to hold together, causing sagging and wrinkles associated with old age.
Another vital component of the skin structure is Hyaluronic Acid (HA.) HA is a major component of the extracellular matrix, that is, the space between living cells, and is present in skin tissue, both dermis and epidermis where it allows the retaining of skin moisture and functions as a lubricant between the collagen matrix of the skin. Younger looking skin is typically higher in HA. It has been observed that Hyaluronic Acid content present in human skin tissue declines as we age, particularly most dramatically after the age of 50 when signs of aging are most prevalent. The degradation of Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen leads to the loss of elasticity and smoothness of the skin, thereby leading to the appearance of wrinkles.
