NYC’s Collagen Boost Facial Explained: Benefits, Results, and Expert Insight

New York City is electrifying, high-energy, and also one of the most challenging places for your skin. The air is unbelievably polluted, and the ocular blue light (a leading cause of wrinkles), combined with fast-paced City living, accelerates the depletion of collagen, leading to dull, dehydrated skin and premature aging. 

At Sommetbeauty, we have crafted a treatment that not only restores the skin from the effects of urban living, but also reverses the accumulated damage in your skin.

Our Collagen Facial is designed to restore bounce, radiance, and resilience to your skin. And for NYC residents, the payoff is even faster. Why? Because urban stressors like PM2.5 particles and HEV light accelerate collagen breakdown, making targeted treatments like ours not just a luxury, but a necessity.

What Makes a Collagen Boost Facial Different?

Not all facials are created equal. While some promise a temporary glow, ours is rooted in science and designed for lasting results. 

Here's how we do it:

• Enzyme Cleanse: We use an enzyme cleanse, which biologically dissolves impurities while not damaging the skin's barrier.  
• The microcurrent treatment: This offers lifting and toning using a gentle electrical current, so skin cells can produce ATP in fibroblasts to boost collagen production (studies show that after 20 days, it increased collagen production by 14%).
• Ultrasonic Peptide Infusion: Biocompatible bioactive peptides penetrate the dermis to stimulate collagen production. 
• Red-Light LED: Clinically proven to thicken collagen according to the PMC.

Let's debunk a myth: slathering animal collagen on your skin won't magically plump it up. Collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin barrier. 

Our approach? We stimulate your skin to produce its natural oils effectively.

NYC Stressors vs. Your Collagen: A Scientific Snapshot

Living in NYC brings to your skin many external stressors, of which two of the most aggressive are:

• PM2.5 Particles: those tiny particles can penetrate the skin and activate collagenase (MMP-1), which is the enzyme that degrades collagen.
• HEV Light: the damage comes mainly from phone/screen light and city light, which leads to more oxidative stress and promotes wrinkles as much as 5 years sooner than rural cohorts.

The good news? The Collagen Facial is your first step. This is your introduction to more advanced collagen-stimulating treatments, such as RF and microneedling. 

By taking action early on collagen conditions, you are setting yourself up for a future of tighter and brighter skin.
