Nutrition for Collagen Support

Vitamin C → An essential co-factor for collagen synthesis. Include citrus fruits, kiwis, bell peppers, and berries.

Protein → The building block of collagen. Eat lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, beans, or protein shakes daily.

Tip: Consistently consuming Vitamin C + protein after your procedure helps maximize thread lift results and supports long-lasting collagen regeneration.
