Silk Collagen (Karisma)

What is Collagen?

Collagen is essentially a protein. It is one of the most abundant proteins in our body and helps hold tissues together. This means strong connective tissues, which translates to firm and elastic skin.

There are different types of collagen in our body, with Type 1 collagen being the most common. Under normal conditions, our body naturally produces and synthesizes collagen. However, this production tends to decline starting in our twenties. Environmental factors, insufficient skincare, and similar issues lead to decreased collagen levels, resulting in various skin imperfections and visible signs of aging.

Today, many people turn to non-surgical aesthetic procedures to reactivate collagen production. Among these, Silk Collagen Karisma stands out as a favorite.

What is Silk Collagen?

Silk collagen is produced from a combination of proteins extracted from silk cocoons and hyaluronic acid. This blend is biologically compatible with our skin, meaning there is virtually no risk of complications or allergic reactions. Silk collagen provides several benefits for the skin. The key benefits of Silk Collagen Karisma include:

• Hydrates the skin
• Stimulates collagen production and encourages the skin to repair itself
• Strengthens connective tissues and provides firmness
• Reduces signs of aging and rejuvenates the skin
• Minimizes the appearance of wrinkles

Who is Suitable for Silk Collagen Treatment?

• Individuals who want to reduce or delay visible signs of aging
• Those seeking to improve their skin’s elasticity
• Those who want a radiant, silky complexion
• Anyone who desires firmer and tighter skin can benefit from Silk Collagen Karisma treatment

How is Silk Collagen Applied?

The most affected areas by aging are the forehead, mid-face, jawline, décolleté, hands, and neck. Silk Collagen Karisma can be applied to all of these areas.

First, the target area is thoroughly cleansed. Then, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to ensure the patient feels no discomfort. Once the cream takes effect, the injection is performed with micro-needles at a depth of approximately 3–4 millimeters. The treatment is completed in about 15–20 minutes.

Due to its anti-aging effects, Silk Collagen Karisma is typically not applied around the eyes. It is mostly used on areas with significant skin damage, and for this reason, a skin analysis is performed first to determine the individual’s specific needs.

The effects of the treatment appear quickly due to the hyaluronic acid content. Mild swelling after the procedure is normal and usually resolves within three to four days. By reactivating collagen production, the skin heals from deeper layers toward the surface.

The treatment is usually performed in two sessions, spaced one month apart. In cases of severe skin damage, a third session may be recommended. The plan is tailored according to the patient's expectations and skin needs. While results may vary individually, the effects typically last 12 to 24 months.

At Dr. Lida Çiteli’s clinic, Silk Collagen Karisma is administered under clinical conditions by specialists.

Silkworm in Beauty and Skincare

Silk is recognized as a safe material by the medical community. Cosmetic ingredients like silk powder are also entirely safe for skin use. Moreover, silkworms are highly capable organisms when it comes to protein production.

Silk Collagen Karisma reactivates the skin’s own collagen production rather than acting as a supplement. The proteins extracted from silk cocoons trigger natural collagen synthesis. Silk is 100% compatible with human skin and does not cause allergic reactions. It helps increase skin volume and significantly reduces signs of aging. For flawless skin, Silk Collagen Karisma can be a powerful option.

Components of Silk Collagen Karisma

• Type 1 Collagen and R Polypeptides that stimulate collagen production and provide a tightening effect
• High molecular weight hyaluronic acid to ensure hydration and stimulate fibroblast activity
• Carboxymethylcellulose, which prevents collagen breakdown and supports tissue repair and hydration
