Collagen and Aging

Collagen is an important protein that gives skin its volume and stretch. When we age, collagen reduces and the skin begins to wrinkle. Many cosmetic companies know that collagen is an important part of young and beautiful skin and they claim to contain collagen in their products, however, this is misleading. Collagen is simply too large of a molecule to be delivered into your cells with known technologies. Collagen in existing beauty products simply clumps together and washes away therefore rendering the product useless.


Telomolecular is not a cosmetic company. We are a nanotechnology company that is focused on curing serious problems of human aging and cancer. In fact, we believe that serious diseases of aging and many symptoms and signs of aging may be reversible, and in the laboratory we are able to dramatically rejuvenate and thereby extend the lifespan of tissues and cells. While we are working on many different methods for accomplishing this goal, we are best known for advances in the field of telomere repair. Telomeres cap the ends of human DNA and act like software telling the cell how old it should be. We find that lengthening telomeres causes old cells to become young again. It sounds strange, but it is scientifically true. Our social mission is nothing less than curing the problem of aging and cancer.

Collagen has an important role inside your cells causing tension and attachment between its neighbors. Without delivering collagen where it is needed, into the cell or deposited onto its surface, it simply wads up and washes away. This is what normal beauty products containing collagen do.

By injecting collagen doctors may temporarily repair wrinkles by making the skin fuller, however, this does not really address the aging and wrinkling of your skin because the collagen is not added to the interior of your cells where it belongs. Instead, injected collagen becomes a mass under your skin that can stretch the skin further making your wrinkles more pronounced as the collagen degrades. bĭm·ə·nē™ adds collagen into your cells and onto the surface of your cells in such a way that the collagen can be used properly by the cell to form structures and make the skin more interconnected and tensile. This is beauty.

Applying things that are alleged to "stimulate" the production of collagen can be useful, however, there is just not enough collagen produced by "stimulators" to make much of a visible difference. The use of proteins is powerful! We see the difference in our pharmaceutical technologies that are designed to work inside a person to treat a disease. The delivery of proteins to tissues makes a big impact while the attempt to stimulate proteins is not very useful. We believe that this same principle applies to cosmetic products and your skin. Stimulation is just not very powerful. The only way to control the amount of collagen in your skin is to directly add it.

As people grow older they begin to produce collagen type I. This is the rigid collagen that can make adult skin more course and rugged. Collagen type III is the same type of collagen produced by babies that gives their skin a soft supple look and feel. This is the type of collagen you want in your skin so that you can look younger. Compare our products against others in your cabinet and you will see a clear difference. If you don’t then you can return bĭm·ə·nē™ and receive your money back.
