SCIENCE SERIES:
Fibroblasts – the cells working behind the scenes for your skin.
Your skin is constantly changing, and fibroblasts are the powerhouse cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid – the three key ingredients that keep skin firm, bouncy and hydrated.
The problem? As we age, fibroblasts become fewer, slower and less efficient. That’s why skin gradually becomes thinner, less elastic and starts to develop fine lines.
The exciting part is that many advanced aesthetic treatments don’t just treat the surface – they stimulate your fibroblasts to get back to work.
• Treatments like microneedling, polynucleotides, PRP, HIFU and certain skin boosters all work by encouraging your skin’s natural repair processes, helping fibroblasts produce healthier, stronger collagen over time.
Great skin isn’t about stretching or freezing it—it’s about supporting your skin to behave more like it did when it was younger.
