GlossaryCollagen Production

process of creating structural protein for skin and connective tissues

Collagen production refers to the process by which the body synthesizes collagen, a vital protein that provides structure and strength to skin, hair, nails, and connective tissues. This process involves fibroblast cells in the dermis layer of the skin, which produce collagen fibers that help maintain skin elasticity and firmness. For professionals, understanding collagen production is crucial for addressing issues related to aging, wound healing, and conditions like alopecia, where hair structure and strength are compromised.
