Skin Collagen Production

Meaning

Skin Collagen Production is the essential, intricate biological process, carried out predominantly by dermal fibroblasts, involving the synthesis, modification, and organized assembly of the structural protein collagen within the skin’s extensive extracellular matrix. This continuous process is absolutely critical for maintaining the skin’s necessary tensile strength, elasticity, and youthful dermal volume and appearance. This production is significantly influenced by systemic hormonal factors, particularly sex steroids and various growth factors, and its decline is a key, measurable feature of both chronological and photo-aging.
