“When we are doing aesthetic treatments that are increasing collagen and elastin production, you have to consider, ‘What do cells need to make collagen and elastin?’ They need great forms of nutrients, proteins, and building blocks,” says internal medicine physician Glenicia Nosworthy M.D., who specializes in aesthetic and integrative medicine. “I can inject you with anything that's going to stimulate the cell. But if the cell is not getting the nourishment or the nutrients that it needs to function properly, then your response is going to be very minimal. And you're going to be paying for multiple treatments and you're not going to get maximum results.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Nosworthy about platelet rich fibrin treatments, how to boost collagen production, and what nutrients to focus on for skin health.
