Collagen maxing guide

[Looksmax]

I did not try to find any new research chemical just analyse the existing methods and see their effectiveness:

Dermarolling: 400% increase

Skin becomes thicker with greater than 400 % increase in collagen deposition and significantly more elastin . Collagen fibre bundles qualitatively increases, thickens and more loosely woven in both papillary and reticular dermis. It appears to have laid down in normal lattice pattern than in parallel bundles as in scar tissue.

Retin-a (tretinoin): 80% increase
Treatment of photodamaged skin with tretinoin produced an 80 percent increase in collagen I formation, as compared with a 14 percent decrease in collagen formation with the use of vehicle alone (P = 0.006).

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199308193290803

Sunscreen: 56% increase
Collagen I formation was 56 percent less in the papillary dermis of photodamaged skin than in skin protected from the sun (P<0.001)

Preliminary results are promising for the short and long-term use of oral collagen supplements for wound healing and skin aging. Oral collagen supplements also increase skin elasticity, hydration, and dermal collagen density

In summary, the present study demonstrated oral administration of collagen peptides from bovine bone could improve the laxity of chronologically aged skin by increasing skin collagen content and ratio of type I to type III collagen, but it had no effect on moisture retention of skin.

Effect of Orally Administered Collagen Peptides from Bovine Bone on Skin Aging in Chronologically Aged Mice

Collagen peptides (CPs) have demonstrated to exert beneficial effects on skin photoaging. However, little has been done to evaluate their effects on chronologically aged skin. Here, the effects of CPs from bovine bone on skin aging were investigated in ...

Aloe vera:
Glucomannan, a mannose-rich polysaccharide, and gibberellin, a growth hormone, interacts with growth factor receptors on the fibroblast, thereby stimulating its activity and proliferation, which in turn significantly increases collagen synthesis after topical and oral Aloe vera.9 Aloe gel not only increased collagen content of the wound but also changed collagen composition (more type III) and increased the degree of collagen cross linking. Due to this, it accelerated wound contraction and increased the breaking strength of resulting scar tissue

how do you do the red light therapy at home?

 

[xForgotMyName]

Fasting:

there's a case study of a guy doing ~380days of fasting under medical supervision.
despite massive fat loss he doesn't have extra skin at the end.

if you read the study(easy to find), they were giving him a multivitamin+vitaminC daily.
and when his bloodwork showed deficiencies, he was given magnesium and potassium.

i've also seen a similar case study (posted at lookism) that used glycine as well but i can't remember where/how to find it

how do you do the red light therapy at home?

From my other thread:

Wave length

“The wavelengths of light used for LLLT fall into an “optical window” at red and NIR wavelengths (600–1070 nm) . Effective tissue penetration is maximized in this range, as the principal tissue chromophores (hemoglobin and melanin) have high absorption bands at wavelengths shorter than 600 nm. Wavelengths in the range 600–700 nm are used to treat superficial tissue, and longer wavelengths in the range 780–950 nm, which penetrate further, are used to treat deeper-seated tissues. Wavelengths in the range 700–770 nm have been found to have limited biochemical activity and are therefore not used”

Time:

It is well established that if the light applied is not of sufficient irradiance or the irradiation time is too short then there is no response. If the irradiance is too high or irradiation time is too long then the response may be inhibited.Somewhere in between is the optimal combination of irradiance and time for stimulation.

Most studies practice 15-30minutes ,

formula for irradiance (λ represents wavelength), so lowering wavelength lowers irradiance


Wavelength: (600–1070 nm) avoid 700-770
Time: General rule, 10-30minutes depending on wavelength, distance from light, and area of surface either go to the higher or lower boundaries
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3288797/



TL;DR
buy a red light lamp device online (should be less than $25)
keep it close to your face for 15-30 minutes depending on how far it is from your face. ( i do 15minutes on each side of my face so that i can still browse or watch something doing it)
while your at it shine it on your balls for 30minutes also

also if your taking it orally be careful about the pure powder. It has a Ph of 1 and is acidic and can cause irritation

"Ascorbic acid can change the pH of the saliva so that calcium was lost from the tooth enamel leading to dental enamel erosion. "

"Ascorbic acid can change the pH of the saliva so that calcium was lost from the tooth enamel leading to dental enamel erosion. "

Unbound calcium ions are very dangerous when it comes to hair follicle minaturisation (if predisposed). A lot of people take some sort of gabaergic drug regularly. Be it benzos, alcohol, gabapentinoids etc. These gabaergics are also voltage gated calcium channel blockers, leaving you with unbound calcium ions which are prevented from entering the calcium channel. Calcification can occur in many places such as the scalp and arteries. You can activate Matrix GLA protein by taking Vitamin K2 MK4/MK7. Matrix GLA binds to the calcium ions, preventing possibility for calcification.

Without getting into much detail, magnesium is a negatively charged ion while calcium is positively charged. + ions have an excitatory effect in the gaba complex, while - ions have a calming effect. Magnesium is commonly used before bed to make you calmer. - ions are said to be "inhibitory", but not in a bad sense. They inhibit the excitation in the GABA complex rather than making you inhibited.

This collagen is legit according to many people and also contains vit c

But yea I need more zinc imo I need like 50mg

The most important is the diversity of needle lengths. High ratio of tip length versus diameter of 13:1 is an important property of good needles.[6] The length of needle selected for an individual patient depends upon the indication for microneedling. For treating acne and other scars as a routine, a needle length of 1.5–2 mm is usually used. When microneedling is used as a procedure to treat ageing skin and wrinkles, the needle length of 0.5 mm or 1.0 mm is usually recommended.[9] When the needles are only up to 0.5 mm long, the procedure is essentially painless, and the perception of pain increases as the depth of needle penetration increases. It also depends on the thickness of epidermis and dermis of the skin.

Microneedling: Advances and widening horizons

Microneedling is a very simple, safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapeutic technique. It was initially introduced for skin rejuvenation, however, now it is being used for a very wide range of indications including acne scar, acne, post-traumatic/burn ...

probably .5 and 1mm will have similar results. Just dont go lower and higher than that

I’ve used 0.5 mm for half a year or more so I was thinking maybe it’s time to jump to something like 0.75 mm or more.

you saw good results with .5mm? Im using this length also. One thing to keep in mind is that .5mm is the highest length which doesnt hurt at al.

while your at it shine it on your balls for 30minutes also

Um what?!

Antioxidants in dermatology

The skin cells continuously produce, through cellular respiration, metabolic processes or under external aggressions, highly reactive molecules oxidation products, generally called free radicals. These molecules are immediately neutralized by enzymatic ...

"Antioxidants in dermatology"

Photodamage

• Oral use of antioxidants does not dispense the use of sunscreens and is therefore a second line of protection against UV photodamage even when they reduce the appearance of solar erythema
• A double blind, placebo-controlled study compared the efficacy of oral supplementation with topical application of lutein combined with zeaxanthin to five parameters: epidermal lipids, hydration, photoprotective activity, skin elasticity and lipid peroxidation under UV radiation. After 12 weeks, both treatments improved these measures, and oral administration was superior, but the combination (oral and topical) provided the greatest protection.
• More recently, studies have shown that thermogenic infrared radiation is also capable of generating free radicals in human skin; its ambiguous effect, since it is also used therapeutically, depends on two distinct mechanisms: the NF-kB signaling pathway is responsible for the therapeutic effects, whereas the AP-1 pathway is responsible for the pathological effects. AP-1 is responsible for the production of metalloproteinases that promote collagen breakage, clinically inducing wrinkles.

I don’t know what to say about collagen levels because I don’t know how to figure it out but it helped my acne so I am pleased with the results.
