Atelocollagen

Overview

Atelocollagen is a modified form of collagen that is known for its ability to enhance skin elasticity and promote collagen synthesis.

A study demonstrated that intradermal injection of porcine-derived type I atelocollagen can induce new elastic fiber formation in mice, suggesting its potential in skin rejuvenation.

Research indicates that atelocollagen increases collagen synthesis by promoting glycine transporter 1 in aged mouse skin, effectively reducing oxidative stress and enhancing extracellular matrix integrity.

A prospective cohort study found that atelocollagen patch augmentation in Achilles tendon repair showed early structural benefits, although these did not translate into superior clinical outcomes within 12 months.
