Did you know we start to lose collagen in our early 20s?  You may start to see the signs of aging by the time you reach your 30s.  At that time, our skin starts to lose its elasticity because of the loss of elastin and collagen.  Further, studies demonstrate that skin aging accelerates markedly after menopause, including deterioration of skin thickness, hydration, collagen, and elastin fibers.  For example, collagen content decreases by as much as 30% over the first 5 years after menopause, with ongoing loss at a rate of 2% per year.

At DTRC, we offer topical treatments in combination with sex hormone therapy to help slow down the aging process and rebuild collagen and elastin.  One of those topical treatments we offer is Alastin Skincare^®.  Alastin Skincare^® uses a proprietary TriHex Technology featuring a patent-pending synergistic blend of potent peptides that are designed to penetrate the skin and  clear out aged, damaged collagen and elastin, thus creating an environment for healthy, new collagen to be produced.
