Collagenarium - the benefits and harms of anti-aging tanning

The principle of the influence technique

Collagen is a protein structure of human connective tissue that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Over the years, the amount of this glue-like substance decreases and it loses its original quality. The skin becomes dull, thinner and wrinkled.

The first signs of biodegradation appear already at the age of 25! It is during this period that collagen synthesis begins to decrease, causing the gradual appearance of facial wrinkles.

There are many products available on the cosmetics market that stimulate collagen synthesis deep in the dermis. Almost every company producing anti-age (anti-aging) cosmetics has entire lines of products “with collagen”.

The process of skin rejuvenation occurs in the deep subcutaneous layers, where large molecules of animal collagen from the cream cannot penetrate. Modern, cutting-edge technology using solarium-collagenarium has made it possible to help activate collagen production through light waves inside the skin.

How effective is it? Let's find out the truth from cosmetologists and ubiquitous clients...

The collagenarium itself is a vertical or horizontal capsule that looks like a solarium. The inside of this device is covered with lamps emitting light waves of the red spectrum. Using such a device is very simple:

it is necessary to remove makeup, put on glasses that protect the cornea from fluorescent lamps, enter the booth

And you can enjoy the process.

Collarium, or collagenarium, is absolutely safe. But you need to make sure that the device belongs to a trusted brand. Moreover, it must be modern.

Compared to a regular solarium, a collagenarium is more comfortable and safe:

does not dry out the skin and does not subject it to early aging.

Doctors consider the complete absence of side effects to be an advantage of collagenarium.

Collagenarium is able to “turn back time” due to exposure to red spectrum rays. The wavelength of such radiation is about 633 nm. The ability of light waves to penetrate deep into the skin by almost a centimeter (0.8-1 cm) leads to the launch of the skin healing process.

Red light due to photosynthesis

stimulates neocollagenesis (formation of new collagen fibers); enhances the “breathing” of the skin and its enrichment with oxygen; Active hydration of the dermis helps smooth out wrinkles and cleanse all skin layers of toxins.

Collagen and its importance for the skin

Beauty salons and tanning studios offer a fairly popular procedure called “Collarium” and “Collagenarium”. As the name suggests, they must somehow influence the formation of new collagen in the skin.

We know well that one of the main reasons for skin aging is a decrease in the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin, that is, with age, the skin ages, its firmness and elasticity decrease, and wrinkles appear on it. How can this process be stopped? It is necessary to introduce these missing substances into the skin or stimulate their production. There are many cosmetic procedures for skin rejuvenation, ranging from face masks, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, biorevitalization, mesotherapy and many other hardware procedures, and now there is also a collagen solarium procedure (collagenarium).

Let us first consider the object of influence of collagenarium – collagen. Collagen is a protein, it is part of the connective tissue of the body and is present in almost all human organs. Collagen is produced by fibroblasts (dermal cells); type 1 collagen predominates in the skin; it has a very complex structure.

Collagen fibers provide strength to ligaments, cartilage and the skin framework. In the skin, collagen provides its elasticity. If you press the skin, it returns to its original position. This is the work of collagen, and if you stretch it, then elastin fibers will bring it back to its original position. If there is little collagen in the skin, it begins to sag, becomes flabby and atonic. We are seeing wrinkles appear. To stimulate the production of your own collagen, a collagenarium apparatus was created.

What can you get as a result?

The structure and appearance of the skin improves; Pores become narrower; Small wrinkles are smoothed out and deep wrinkles become less noticeable; The turgor (elasticity) of the skin increases; The tone of the dermis is strengthened; The complexion becomes even and age spots disappear; Skin cells are saturated with moisture; The phenomena of rosacea (vascular spider veins and spider veins) are visually reduced; Blood microcirculation improves, which leads to stimulation of blood supply to tissues and their saturation with oxygen; Improvement of oily problem skin occurs due to the bactericidal and drying effect of collagen lamps; Light therapy helps to moisturize and heal dry skin, but it is advisable to treat it with special cosmetics before the session.

What's new - collagenarium

This is a unique combination of light therapy, which affects elastin, as well as collagen, they begin to recover on their own, without manipulation.

Fibrillar protein is a necessary material for the construction of connective tissues and the skin becomes as elastic as possible and restores its natural tone. Over the years, fibrillar protein is produced less and less by our body, thereby reducing the elasticity of the skin. As a result, in the mirror a woman begins to see folds that she hates, and the muscle corset itself becomes flabby.

How often will you have to visit the collagenarium?

For skin rejuvenation

As well as the prevention of stretch marks and early cellulite, you need to complete a course of 10 or 15 sessions. They are prescribed 2 or 3 times a week and take 10-20 minutes. Then you can maintain good skin condition by visiting the collagenarium once a week and spending 15 minutes in the “rejuvenation capsule”.

For skin regeneration

It will take 20 sessions in the same mode as for rejuvenation. The achieved result can be maintained in the same way. The course, as in the first case, can be repeated after 8-12 weeks.

After such light therapy you can notice

improving the structure and smoothing of the skin surface, narrowing pores, eliminating freckles and age spots, moisturizing the skin and creating a healthy glow.

To smooth out wrinkles

And stimulation of the process of neocollagenesis requires at least 30 procedures, each lasting 20 minutes. Weekly support is desirable; the course can be repeated in the same way after 2 or 3 months.

Reviews from those who have undergone complete photobiostimulation report that the skin

noticeably tightens, moisturizes, evens out, becomes lighter, pores narrow, blood vessels and stars visually disappear on the body and face, stretch marks acquire a pink tint.

There are even different opinions among doctors: whether to use a solarium and a collagenarium together. But experts all approve of the fact that collarium is able to moisturize and restore the health of the skin after sunbathing.

There are no age restrictions for the use of collagenarium. It is used both for teenagers (with parental consent) and for older people. The advantage of the photobiosynthesis process in collarium is the ability to affect the entire body at the same time. Moreover, both women and men can use it.

Cosmetics for light therapy sessions

In Western Europe, where collagenarium has already gained wide popularity, on the shelves of cosmetic boutiques you can see products for attending light therapy sessions. It is not characterized by a protective factor, but by enhancing the result and its subsequent consolidation. Caring cosmetics that are relevant when visiting a collagenarium include:

Vitaminized scrub to prepare the body for a session;
Preparatory lotion or spray (enhances collagen production during the procedure, provides additional nutrition and hydration);
Serum for facial skin;
Restoring cream after light therapy (consolidates the results of a visit to the collagenarium, provides a slight soothing and cooling effect).

Before the procedure, it is advisable to thoroughly clean the skin of decorative and caring cosmetics if they contain reflective particles or block them.

Contraindications

Collagenarium, the reviews of doctors about which are clear in terms of restrictions, is prohibited under the following factors:

Oncological diseases. Light therapy is unacceptable during relapse and remission of this pathology.
Tuberculosis. During collagenarium sessions, Koch's wand is activated in both closed and open forms of the disease.
Pregnancy. In any trimester, a woman carrying a child is advised to refrain from the mentioned procedure.
Lactation. For a woman undergoing breastfeeding, deep penetration of red rays into the epidermis of the chest is contraindicated.
Porphyria. The reported rare genetic pathology is associated with a disorder of pigment metabolism, which makes light therapy a dangerous procedure.
Epilepsy. Collagenaria is prohibited at any stage of the disease: in remission and during repeated seizures.
Hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis). If you have hyperthyroidism, it is dangerous to attend light therapy sessions. This disease involves taking Methotrexate, which can cause thyrotoxic porphyria.
Photodermatosis. An allergy to sunlight makes it inadmissible to take a collagenarium course. The warning applies not only to people who cannot tolerate sunlight exclusively in the summer.

New products in home cosmetology

Today on the market of cosmetic household appliances there are various modifications of minicollagenaria for the face and décolleté.
These tabletop units are designed for beauty salons, wellness studios and spas, as well as home use. Their power is designed for individual use, without the supervision of specialists. Therefore, the results of such photobiostimulation at home may be more modest than those done by professionals.

But still, facial collagenarium will help both young women to maintain its freshness, and adult ladies to intensively fight age-related changes in the face and décolleté.

Home light therapy sessions can be carried out in the same mode as in salons, lasting 12-15 minutes. A home collagenarium can also be used for maintenance procedures once a week for 15 minutes.

The essence of the procedure

Collagenarium is an innovative method in cosmetology, which restores the amount of fibrillar protein in tissues. This organic substance controls skin elasticity and prevents premature aging. Collagen (the left-handed spiral and the framework of the epidermis), when protein threads are destroyed, stretches and becomes fragmented.

In case of such age-related changes, cosmetologists recommend going to salons where light therapy is performed.

Visually, it is difficult to distinguish a collagenarium from a solarium cabin. The difference is that light therapy does not involve the use of ultraviolet light during a cosmetic procedure.

Beneficial properties and effects of the procedure:

increasing the elasticity of the epidermis with its flabbiness and sagging;
regulation of skin moisture content at all levels;
improving skin color and evening out its tone;
elimination of pigmentation, freckles and rosacea (dilation of small blood vessels);
elimination of blackheads (comedones);
cleansing facial skin with enlarged pores;
drying areas of oily and combination skin;
blockade against photoaging (reaction to the sun);
lifting effect (tightening) of problem areas of the whole body;
prevention of “orange peel” (cellulite);
stimulation of blood circulation when tissue is saturated with oxygen;
prevention of osteoporosis (improving metabolism);
enhancing the effect of accompanying cosmetic procedures;
prolongation of “beauty injections” (Botox, restylane, hyaluronic acid).

Collagenarium allows you to correct the structure of the skin with age-related changes and congenital (acquired) epithelial defects. Due to a decrease in collagen synthesis in the skin, starting from the age of 25, every person begins to show signs of biodegradation in the form of facial wrinkles.

Reviews about light therapy

The reviews of everyone who tried photorejuvenation in salon or home collagenariums were divided. Someone enthusiastically talks about the improvement in skin condition after 2-3 sessions. Others complain about poor results. “Experts” advise paying attention to the quality of lamps in different salons.

Drawing conclusions from numerous reviews, experts advise:

First. Don't expect instant stunning results. High expectations can lead to disappointment. Collagenarium starts the process of synthesis of the skin framework, moisturizes it, and creates all the conditions for its rejuvenation and healing.

Second. The use of special cosmetics significantly increases the effect of phototherapy.

Third. Promotions for 100 or 200 minutes are just marketing “enticing” moves. Only girls with minor wrinkles can count on complete rejuvenation after several sessions. Only a full course of procedures can give a noticeable result.

Collarium visiting programs

The stated targets are necessary to achieve the following effect:

Revival. The procedure normalizes metabolism, removes toxins and waste from the body. When hydration and cellular nutrition are activated, metabolism accelerates. The result is an improvement in the condition of the skin and its tone.
Regeneration. The purpose of the second stage after rejuvenation is to heal problem areas of the skin and increase its moisture level. After completing the course, the top coat acquires a healthy color. Senile and congenital pigmentation is eliminated, pores are narrowed and comedones are removed.
Lift. The collagen structure of the skin requires constant strengthening. When collagen production is activated, wrinkles and fine lines are filled, making the epidermis elastic without excessive tension.

Collagenary??

collagenarium girls who tried it? what are your reviews??

They opened a collagenarium in Kursk - I went only three times - the red blood vessels disappear

Where exactly in Kursk?

but you get a tan. They advertise that there will be a tan too??

Collagenarium increases cell regeneration by 150-200%. Aren’t you afraid that this is a provocation of cancer cells? Yes, there is a rejuvenation effect, but with a subsequent shortening of life. These are just my reasons. I have seen cancer patients, and I also work in a tanning studio that has a collagenarium, and I have thoroughly studied the effects of collagenarium and the causes of cancer. Once again, these are just my arguments.

New features and design have appeared for the version of the Woman.ru Forum on computers. Tell us, what are your impressions of the changes?

I agree with you, Olesya, completely, as I say as a doctor. In striving for rejuvenation and even faster results, we risk provoking the growth of cancer cells. Those over 35 need to start very slowly, either a collagenarium, a solarium, or medications and supplements for oral administration. Dear women and girls, it is NOT POSSIBLE to reverse the aging mechanism. YOU CAN ONLY PAUSE. Therefore, if you take proper care of yourself, you will look much better at the alumni meeting, this is already very good.

Please tell me, who went to the collagenarium, what creams do you use? I was about to go, the administrator told me to bring a cream containing collagen with me.

And in our salon, here are the brakes, they advise walking once every five days, it turns out that this is not at all effective, if someone walks every other day and the effect is minimal ((((. I went 3 times for 10 minutes and 2 times for 15 min, so far no difference at all, now I’ll try for 20 minutes

I only went a couple of times. The cosmetologist immediately said that the procedure should be done for 20 minutes. I noticed that my skin became even more velvety. Regarding the dangers of collagenarium and solarium. . All these types of radiation exist in our everyday life; UV and IR are needed by the body to produce, for example, vitamin D. Therefore, we need to do everything in moderation, without fanaticism, and with pleasure. And there is nothing to scare about cancer... look what we eat, drink and what we breathe. Girls, be beautiful, make yourself better, the one who is afraid of everything and feels like one ages faster.

I go to the pool every day. Skin is terribly dry. I decided to go on a whim. I think I’ll sunbathe in a gentle mode. I didn’t expect any results at all. Went for 10 minutes. On the trail. day the skin became soft and smooth. This inspired me very much. I decided to continue, today I went for the 2nd time. and decided to read the information. And here I am -)

I decided to go to the college, it’s just next to our work. I walk for 10 minutes. I've already gone 3 times. nothing is happening to me yet))) I read the reviews, and it seems like it takes 15 minutes. walk at a time. Well, I'll try)) a. By the way, after the first hike... my skin all over my body itched a little. maybe that's how it should be. We'll see. I want to walk 100 minutes..

There is a collarium and there is a collagenarium. The point is that in the collarium there is tanning + skin rejuvenation and there are more and more lamps for solariums, so the rejuvenation effect is weak, but there are collagen lamps without impurities only for rejuvenation and the effect is much more noticeable.

In St. Petersburg I go to the solarium, but they have collagen lamps, like tanning and collagen. My pigment spots don’t come out as usual and my skin doesn’t dry out, the tan just started to appear after 3 treatments of 7 minutes each, but my husband’s after the second one and it immediately felt like something from the beach (((. I don’t go to a regular solarium because of the pigments on our neck.

Where do you go

The effect of collagen appears after 20-30 visits, depending on your age. If you are under 20, then you need 20 visits for 10-15 minutes once a week. If you are over 20, then you need to walk for 20 minutes once a week. If you don’t see the result, then this is due to the quality of the lamps. in subsequent slots, ask for kaifitsent. in good solariums this is 4..many studios don’t even know what it is and how long the lamps should work..and everywhere they write that there are new lamps, although the sign hangs that there are new lamps, only the sign is already old and has been hanging for like a year.. If you want to tan and heal your skin, then after collagen I recommend going to any solarium immediately and the tan will go on very quickly... and go to Callagen with cream before and after and only then will you feel the result... without cream the skin deteriorates and dries out.

does collagenarium help remove stretch marks?

Only laser procedures can help remove stretch marks or at least reduce them, depending on their condition. Palomar laser is not bad at all
