An X-ray-like view reveals the intricate collagen network that supports healthy, youthful skin.NYC TodayDr. Moustafa Mourad, a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon at MouradNYC, was featured in Healthline to share his expert insights on how collagen supplements can impact skin hydration and elasticity. While acknowledging collagen's measurable benefits, Dr. Mourad emphasized the importance of setting realistic expectations and taking a comprehensive approach to long-term skin health.
Why it matters
As interest in collagen supplements continues to rise, Dr. Mourad's clinical perspective helps provide a balanced, evidence-based understanding of their effects. This is particularly relevant for patients considering cosmetic procedures like rhinoplasty or facelift, where skin quality directly impacts surgical planning and outcomes.
The details
