Role in Wound Healing and Scar Management
Collagen is essential in the processes of wound repair and scar formation. It serves as a fundamental component of elastic tissue and adhesive materials, while also promoting cell growth, differentiation, tissue development, and connective tissue proliferation. In addition, collagen supports capillary regeneration, induces chemotaxis of monocytes and fibroblasts, and helps nourish and regulate granulation tissue. Studies have shown that collagen is effective in treating skin ulcers of various causes, promoting epithelialization of both superficial and deep ulcer areas and facilitating granulation tissue formation.Importance in Bone Structure and Strength
Approximately 70–80% of the organic content of bone consists of collagen. During bone formation, collagen fibers are first synthesized to create the structural framework. For this reason, collagen is often referred to as the “bone within bone.” Its fibers provide strength, flexibility, and elasticity. Just as steel reinforcement supports concrete columns, collagen fibers reinforce bones; insufficient collagen is comparable to using poor-quality steel, significantly increasing fracture risk.Support Function in Breast Structure
The significance of collagen in breast support has long been recognized. Breasts are mainly composed of connective tissue and adipose tissue, and their firmness and shape largely depend on the strength of connective tissue. Collagen, as its primary component, interlaces with polysaccharide proteins to form a network structure that provides mechanical strength, supporting body contours and maintaining an upright posture.Protective and Elastic Function in Skin
Often described as “bone within bone, skin within skin, and flesh within flesh,” collagen forms the structural foundation of the dermis. The dermis, approximately 2 mm thick, consists of the papillary, subpapillary, and reticular layers and is primarily made up of proteins, mainly collagen and elastin. About 70% of the skin’s composition is collagen. Acting like a protective covering over the body, collagen enables the skin to withstand movement while maintaining appropriate elasticity, firmness, and protective strength.
