Functional Keratin - Alternative to Synthetic Collagen & Collagen Injections

By Dr. Valerie Rosenbaum
Jan 27, 2009
Scientists have been trying for over 30 years to develop a synthetic collagen that is an exact match to our own in every way. Although they primarily want to use the tissue for severe medical emergencies it is only a matter of time before they began to supply it for use in clinical collagen injections. This would be a good thing, because it would make these treatments a lot safer.

Finally the scientists were able to crack the code for manufacturing synthetic collagen, and after experiencing a rather difficult time trying to bond the various strands together they were able to get them to take a solid form. It is truly miraculous just how far scientific technology has come so far as the things that we can do medically.

You may have to wait quite some time before this man made tissue for collagen injections though, because the next step in the plan is to make this synthetic material available to all of the major medical centers around the country so that they will be better prepared to serve burn victims, and those with large, open wounds. Only later will it be made available for cosmetics procedures.

The reason that synthetic collagen that is identical to ours was necessary is because before this breakthrough all of the collagen that we used was being derived from cattle, pigs, or chickens. This animal derived collagen imposed the risk of allergic reaction, and causing immune system dysfunction. Now, neither of these concerns will be an issue.

This is why I said earlier that this new breakthrough was going to make collagen injections a lot safer for everyone. Now you have to take allergy tests just to qualify to have these clinical cosmetic procedures done. Things would be so much easier if we did not even have to worry about getting these injections done, because we could just increase the production rate of our own collagen.

Synthetic collagen is a miracle for clinical cosmetics, but the discovery of Functional Keratin by a group of scientist that work on the research and development team of an anti aging skin care company in New Zealand is equally miraculous for the topical cosmetics industry. Functional Keratin will elevate the production rate of not only your body's collagen, but of your elastin also.

Having the ability to simply grow our own collagen at a much higher rate pretty much eliminates the need for taking collagen injections. The increase in structural tissue that you naturally produce will be enough to take years away from the way that you look, and the products from this company also contain an ingredient that will raise the amount of hyaluronic acid that your skin has.

Why fool around with expensive synthetic collagen treatments when you can use topical anti aging skin care products that provide your skin with not only more collagen, but of two other structural tissues as well. If given the choice I would rather produce my own collagen than have someone put into my body through a needle.
