While we can’t demand our collagen production to run like when we’re younger, we may, however, induce some collagen to add on to what we have, or cause the body part to produce more collagen. Hence, collagen fillers may be a way to help you regain your youthful looks by “plumping up” your wrinkles and folds. They are also useful in correcting fine lines and wrinkles.
