Can collagen be injected for skin whitening?

Collagen is a common beauty technology. First of all, it does not cost anything, and it can condition the inner skin, while making the skin look white, tender, and very elastic. However, it is the active ingredient of collagen that is very popular with everyone. Collagen can not only be used to beautify the skin, but also has whitening effects and can eliminate acne marks. Let us take a look at the effects brought by collagen.

Collagen has a beneficial whitening effect.

Whitening is like treating an illness. It is better to treat the root cause than to treat the symptoms. Only by conditioning the inner skin quality can the skin show a truly natural whitening glow from the inside out. The culprit of whitening is melanin.

1. Melanin is a protein present in the basal layer of everyone's skin. Ultraviolet rays can cause changes in melanin, generating a substance that protects the skin. Melanin then moves through layers of cell metabolism to the epidermis, causing the skin problems we see now, such as spots and uneven skin tone.

2. Whitening is a care project from the inside out. First of all, you need to choose a set of whitening products that suits you. Because the whitening ingredients are different, in theory it is best to use products from the same brand and the same series. This can prevent adverse reactions caused by conflicts between different whitening ingredients. Nowadays, many whitening products on the market use vitamin C as the main ingredient.

3. Ellagic acid is a natural polyphenol component widely found in various soft fruits, nuts and other plant tissues. It shows obvious inhibitory effects on chemical-induced carcinogenesis and other types of carcinogenesis, especially on colon cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, tongue and skin tumors. Ellagic acid has extremely high antioxidant properties, which can help the skin inhibit and regulate the production of melanin and lighten existing spots.

4. Collagen is the main component of the skin. It accounts for 72% of the skin and 80% of the dermis. Collagen forms a dense elastic network in the skin, locking in moisture and supporting the skin like a bracket. Women's collagen begins to age and lose when they are 20 years old, and the content decreases year by year. It reaches the peak of loss at the age of 25. At the age of 40, the content is less than half of that at the age of 18, so collagen should be supplemented.
