How to BOOST COLLAGEN WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTS| Dr Dray

It's a great video, but I watch her face. If she's less than 45 either there is something wrong with these advices, or there is big factor played by genetics about which we cannot do anything.

I wonder if this would help with Leichen Sclerosis....

Telling people to stop stressing or sleep mroe is such a privledged woman thing to do. This is not an option in the real world and the collagen when I tried it once STILL MADE A VISIBLE DIFFERNECE. Don't listen to her fucking fight for your chance at a life. All the jobs are already gone it's already too late at 3am!

I don't think you deserve a job if you dare say that.

Do I need to wear sunscreen in the winter?

What retinol should I buy over the counter?

I’m quite disappointed a “board certified dermatologist” could barely scratch the surface of the collagen problem here.
First of all, it is not just damage to the collagen sunlight deals, it is also damage to the fibroblasts.
So not only will our goal biotissue be destroyed, but the fibroblasts will also no lomger produce the same quality or quantity of collagen as well. The basic principle behind stimulating animals produce a specific biotissue is to carefully monitor and care for its production equipment.

Simply using a bunch of retinoids and stabbing your face with needles will just overwork your already damaged fibroblasts, possibly damaging them further in the long run. Direct stimulation of cells to produce a certain material should only be done after the cells themselves are repaired and ready to work.

So firstly:
We must determine the state of our fibroblasts and the quantity of our fibroblast and focus on preparing ourself for the stimulation (which you mentioned of Retinoids and etc)

How can this be done?
Idk. But what we can do is prevent further damage.
Firstly: prevent Oxidative stress.

Thanks!

Dr. Dray, I always love your videos. I have osteoporosis and would like to take a collagen supplement. Are all collagen supplements created equally?? There are a few different ones and some for helping with wrinkles as well, which would be an added bonus. What would you suggest would be the best for both?? Thank you.

Lol I’m 45 and look good. smoke Marlboro reds and in the sun all day!

Nice

My cousin just messaged me "are collagen supplements pish?" and I directed her straight here to you, Dr Dray! So Eilidh, if you're reading this, ditch the collagen and slap on the SPF!

People with severe insomnia can't "focus on getting good quality sleep." If you can't sleep go to the doctor. Insomnia is very difficult to treat and often has many underlying medical causes such as hyperthyroidism, high cortisol, or perimenopause.

Steam spa must make the list. Love this channel. 😊

Sunscreen is poison. We're told the sun is bad for us. That's a flat out lie.

I read somewhere collagen could cause kidney stones and its bad for kidney some people. Is it true?

Not goanna happen if you are old

The most stressful part of my day today has been listening to her monotone lack luster delivery of this information...btw I love my collagen supplement 🔥

Down vote.

collagen supps help me

I am a 58 yo, living in Australia. I take collagen, zinc, vit C. I starting taking this a year ago. The difference in my skin and muscles , joints are unbelievable. Particularly on the thin skin on my hands . Huge difference in my joints, skin hair and nails . I take a good quality bovine collagen. Of course I use 50+ sunscreen, I am a outdoor person in Australia. I think if you are young under 30 you probably don’t need the supplement. 🐨🥰🌸

Dear Americans, we here from the north of Europe have a summer of like 2 weeks. Chill the fuck out with the sunscreen warnings. We are happy to even see the sun.

Finally a doctor that does not just push pills.

Agree don’t bake, but sun is important !!! Nothing beats natural vitamin d. It’s the length of time in harsh sun, not the sun itself!!!!!!!!! This actually helps to beat skin cancer!! Think dosage, don’t demonise the sun. Wrinkles won’t kill you like cancer can.

Good information.

Do infrared saunas ruin the skin? They promote the complete opposite.

Is there any studies that show correlation between sunscreen (chemical) and sun on our skin? I am sure that chemicals in sunscreen lotions and creams are very bad for our skin

Okay, so don't play outside with my children and stop going to work, because of traffic. 😂 Thanks for the great advice

I love this channel and her advice but when she said try to avoid sitting in traffic.I was like how in the hell am I supposed to do that I'm actually trying to get to my destination not sit here!

Dr. Dray, please advise whether face slapping results to collagen production. Thank you

Hello Dr. Dray,

I’ve a lot of doubts about infrared radiation and blue light. You say here that they disrupt collagen production, however you said on another video about the led masks that there’s actually studies that they were said to improve aging signs. Now I’m not quite sure if I should buy one , since most of them provide infrared radiation and blue light (even though I’ll mainly use the red light for anti-aging properties)
It is another type of radiation? Are led masks actually bad for the skin?

Many thanks for your videoss! They ara amazing!!!

I wish whenever “smoking” is brought up there was more specification/information on smoking cigarettes versus Marijuana. I guess it’s just an assumption they’re always talking about cigarettes, but as an early glaucoma patient I feel like that specification would be useful

Hi Dr. Dray and thanks for your informative videos. I have a question about spf (to anyone here, who knows). I use spf a lot and I have my problems with that oily sheen afterwards. I am aware that there are matt spfs, but those are just too expensive for me. Mostly after applying the produkt I wait for it to absorb for 5-10 min max and than just dap carefully the leftover-oil from the skin with a paper handkerchief. The question - does is minimize the spf protection? Any other ways to help? Would be grateful for an answer.

Love love love Dr Dray! I could watch her videos all day. Watch her other videos where she is just being “her” not Dr Dray, she is hilarious!

How funny, sun also produces red light. Plus what about vitamin D if you hide from the sun all the time?

By the way to get healthy sleep? you need to get at least 30 min of blue light every day around noon time. Also, estrogen may be harmful for the breadt canser risk or treatment reasons.

This is really making me want to quit smoking. I am 38 right now. I began rapid aging last year after covid. I been using face creams that have helped a lot but I am really in a anti aging rabbit hunt right now.

I love my collagen powder and pills im 56 and have not one wrinkle on my face or neck. even my doctor said what are you doing lady 😂.

the "what the heck are you doing?" exactly 😅

Collagen - made from bovine hide - just can’t get past that. From the comments, I wish there were an alternative as my joints are shot.

WHY does everyone advocate microneedling?? It DESTROYED my skin and I am now stuck with melasma on 80% of my forehead skin that I haven't been able to find a cure for and it has destroyed my confidence. I wish I could warn everyone against it :,(

Thank you .

Dr. Dray. I’m a huge fan for years. I realized that I really don’t know much about you. Are you married and/or have kids? We never hear you talk about family or personal life(gay guy here, not a creeper lol).

I have a red light mask that I purchased from Amazon. The seller did confirm it has NIR, and I notice that it generates some heat. Is it better to use a mask that is just LED red light without the NIR, and is the heat that's emanating from it okay?

It’s disappointing that Dr Andrea is allowing her veganism to dictate the advice she is dispensing. I have watched her for years and this makes me lose trust. You are entitled to making the choices you deem are best for you. But don’t enforce unscientific and ideological positions on patients.

Wouod fiber like in oatmeal be bad or good for the skin/ collagen?

I thought you were going to recommend drinking bone broth over taking expensive pills.

Such great explanation!!! I feel like everyone forgets the fact that some food can dehydrate you.. i always try to drink 1 unflavored pedialyte one or two times a week to make sure I'm super hydrated!

What about cannabis smoke?

Would a Infrared sauna cause collagen damage
