Have you used collagen treatments?

I’m considering laser treatments now if that’s what you mean by collagen treatments. I saw a couple of good videos and went to two different places to see what they recommended.

Here’s one of the youtubes that was very thorough. https://youtu.be/iQ-kJjlTFxc?si=rWGkRb3aJ-TrmrC_ Her skin is more flawless than I would ever want to try for and she is much younger, so don’t let that throw you.

I recommend searching for a few more videos before you decide.

I have found that if I am really good about regularly taking quality collagen supplements (I mean really good, like every day, 3 X per day) it afforded some relief from joint pain. However, I am not really good at remembering that stuff.
My medico’s attitude was “Give it a try if you want and let me know”. Not a ringing endorsement, to be sure.

There were no negative effects, that I recall.

@Jeruba Do you mean the collagen you take by mouth or collagen injections? I haven’t used either but have considered both.

My doc said collagen might help my joints and my hair loss from when I took Ozempic, but the array of brands is dizzying so I never tried it.

@canidmajor What brand do you use? Is it expensive? Sounds like it could really add up at three times/day. I don’t think I’d have trouble remembering to take it because I already take different meds 3 x/day.

Oh, @smudges, I’m sorry, I don’t remember. I suggest you check the review sites online, and talk to your local health food store person, sometimes they have pretty good insights. Mostly I use CBD supplements now, I have pretty good results from them.

Clarifying: I meant collagen in any form, for any purpose.

The lasers stimulate your own collagen to smooth wrinkles.
