Transdermal Salcoll Collagen

The effect of collagen hydrate on the skin consists in opening corneocytes, therefore creating additional channels for transepidermal absorption. The unique feature of our product is the fact that the triple helix formation remains intact within the protein even outside of the donor’s – in this case salmon’s – body. The mechanism of action of Salcoll gel is highly complex.

In fact, the products of dissimilation of alpha I, alpha II and beta chains – i.e. peptides and amino acids, or in other words those subunits that due to their small molecular size are capable of penetrating the epidermis via extracellular route along the sebaceous channels, capillary channels and keratin deposits – are the ones that permeate into the extracellular matrix around fibroblasts. On their way, they stimulate corneocytes to increase type FGF and type TGF cytokines production.

The mechanism of transepidermal penetration of the products of triple helix disintegration has already been proven beyond dispute. The process may be confirmed by irradiating collagen prior to its application and tracking its “journey” inside the skin, as well as by means of a skin biopsy, which indicates a dramatic increase in hydroxyproline levels in the collected samples of fibroblast extracellular matrix as soon as an hour or so after its application onto the skin.

Other objective cosmetic effects of the product include extraordinary skin hydration, thickening of the epidermis, and increasing the amount of mucin and mucous substances in the papillary layer of the skin. Systematic use of Salcoll Collagen for 110-130 days leads to practically 100% elimination of the so-called “dry wrinkles” that are due to insufficient retention of moisture and lipophilic substances in the epidermis. Salcoll Collagen may stop the formation of new wrinkles due to skin ageing for long years. It optically tonifies the skin and reduces blemishes such as mimic wrinkles and the so-called “eye bags” that are not in fact wrinkles, but are due to genetic or acquired weakness of facial micro muscles. Collagen has an efficient impact on all skin types. The risk of allergic reaction to fish protein is very low, as opposed to other animal proteins.
