Collagen is a form of protein that plays a crucial role in the structure, strength, and elasticity of various tissues in the body. It is the most abundant protein in the human body, accounting for about 25-35% of the total protein content. Collagen is primarily found in:

• Skin: Helps maintain elasticity and hydration.

• Bones: Provides strength and structure.

• Tendons and Ligaments: Ensures flexibility and tensile strength.

• Cartilage: Acts as a cushion in joints.

• Blood Vessels: Contributes to their structure and elasticity.

What then is Collagen Banking? A relatively new term on the beauty landscape, collagen banking is about adopting strategies to boost the body’s natural collagen levels to fend off signs of skin ageing and help support overall structural condition. By embracing these tools early, the focus is on "saving collagen" to minimise the visible effects of ageing, such as lines, wrinkles and skin laxity while promoting healthy and youthful-looking skin.

Collagen is one of the major proteins of the skin and it is particularly important for its strength and resilience. Skin ageing is a natural process that is characterized by the decrease and fragmentation of collagen in the dermis. Oral supplementation with collagen peptides has been clinically shown to have a positive effect on the skin condition¹.

Newly launched ProDermaCol^® is a clean and natural collagen supplement powered with eight scientifically backed ingredients to maximise performance and skin rejuvenation results.

Unlike other collagen supplements on the market, ProDermaCol^® has been boosted with carefully curated skin-enriching vitamins and minerals to visibly aid post-dermal treatment recovery and optimise skin regeneration.

Formulated with premium Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides, ProDermaCol is blended with Vitamin C, Vitamin A (as retinol equivalents), Vitamin E, Biotin, Hyaluronic Acid, Coenzyme Q10, and Zinc. Together these skin-supportive ingredients work synergistically to enhance treatment recovery while nourishing, revitalising and deeply hydrating the complexion.

ProDermaCol^®’s Skin-Enhancing Ingredients:

Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides:

ProDermaCol^® uses the highest grade of collagen available from Germany. The proprietary, OptiCol35^® is a Bovine Collagen that has been hydrolysed. Bovine Collagen is known to enhance skin condition and tissue health, making bovine collagen supplements highly beneficial for overall well-being. Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides offer vastly improved absorption and bioavailability due to the smaller peptide size compared to standard collagen. This makes it easier for the body to digest and absorb, maximising skin benefits.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant — a substance that retains moisture — and it is capable of binding over one thousand times its weight in water. Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in many areas of the human body and is commonly used in beauty and skincare products. As we age, the production of key substances in the skin, including hyaluronic acid (along with collagen and elastin) decreases. As a result, our skin loses volume, hydration, and plumpness. provides deep hydration, improving skin elasticity and suppleness.
