Collagen is responsible for the firmness of the face and body skin. It is the main protein building connective tissue. It is characterised by very high tensile strength, it is an excellent scaffold for the skin. It is its loss that causes wrinkles – in places where it has disappeared, cavities visible just in the form of hollows. This process, without interference of modern medicine and cosmetology, is irreversible.
