Advice from Dr Svitlana Larkina for Beauty and Well-Being<\/strong>
(az-jenata.bg<\/a>, 17.02.2025 \/ 12:00, Mihaela Lazarova)<\/p>

Most of us have heard of collagen and know it is crucial for health and beauty. But what is biostimulation<\/em>? In essence, it is the revitalisation of the skin by triggering new collagen production.<\/p>

Collagen-stimulating processes in the body depend on many factors. How can we boost this natural beauty mechanism? Dr Svitlana Larkina explains.<\/p>

Dr Larkina has more than 30 years of experience in aesthetic medicine. She is the medical director of an aesthetic centre in Ukraine and an expert in intensive cosmetology and anti-ageing therapies. She also holds an MD degree and is a certified trainer for several medical companies.<\/p>

Recently, she was an invited speaker at the international symposium Stimulating Natural Beauty<\/strong> in Sofia, where she discussed collagen-stimulation pathways and ways to improve collagen quality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"\u00a0<\/span>How can modern aesthetic medicine help us preserve natural beauty?<\/strong><\/p>

I am 55, and I personally use every available tool of aesthetic medicine \u2014 of course, I share this experience with my patients. Today we have amazing possibilities, yet it is vital to understand how to combine different procedures correctly. It is not just marketing. Although I represent certain brands, I am a physician first.<\/p>

Health, lifestyle, and physical activity are essential; the next step is consulting qualified medical professionals who can build an individual treatment plan. Creating a unique road map \u2014 for the face, the body, and even the whole life \u2014 is crucial. Step by step, without rushing.<\/p>

For my patients, I develop a year-long plan, explaining that they will improve not only outwardly but also internally. Sometimes that means changing habits or even one\u2019s diet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"\u00a0<\/span>Do you use collagen stimulators in your practice?<\/strong><\/p>

Yes. In our clinic, we work with various collagen stimulators \u2014 both injectable and device-based. Everything depends on the patient. We often start with amino acids and peptides, and introduce stimulators later.<\/p>

\"\"\u00a0<\/span>Which superfoods do you recommend?<\/strong><\/p>

I always advise a protein-rich diet. If a patient is vegan, I recommend adding amino-acid supplements. I often suggest a blood test for amino-acid profiling and a visit to a nutritionist. Physical activity is also essential.<\/p>

Yet we each have different genetics, hormonal status, chronic conditions, and digestive issues. Without proper absorption, even the best food will not work. Check your health first; if everything is fine, you can begin the procedures.<\/p>

\"\"\u00a0<\/span>At what age do you recommend biostimulation?<\/strong><\/p>

After 25. Before that, the body shows no real signs of ageing.<\/p>

\"\"\u00a0<\/span>What is your stance on sugar?<\/strong><\/p>

I love chocolate \u2014 I sometimes eat a small piece with my morning tea or coffee. Still, I know that glycation is harmful to collagen. I do not recommend much sugar, though a good mood is even more important.<\/p>

\"\"\u00a0<\/span>Which amino acids are most important for the skin?<\/strong><\/p>

Glycine, lysine, and proline. Iron \u2014 especially the ferrous (divalent form) and ferritin; without them, collagen cannot be synthesised. Vitamin C is mandatory. These five substances should be consumed daily to support collagen synthesis.<\/p>

\"\" What are y<\/strong><\/span>our favourite skincare products?<\/strong><\/p>

Vitamin C serum, retinol, a toner to close pores and restore pH, a day and a night cream, and an eye-area cream. That is at least five products for daily care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
