Aesthetic Use
Hydrolized Collagen, Atelocollagen
1. Moisturizing : suppress the TEWL and increase in St.corneum water content, and improve the dermal HA content.
2. Volume Effect :  Collagen Volume Itself and Source of Synthesis of Collagen.Regeneration and Wound Healing
3. Tension : Film-Forming
4. Drug delivery carrier : interferon-α , interleukin-2, nerve growth factor, and bone morphogenetic protein, plasmid DNA , antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) , short interference RNA (siRNA), and micro RNA (miRNA) . and more.
Main Type of collagen in  the Skin :  I, III, and V type of collagen
Comparison
Advantage of Atelocollagen
1. There is no Toxicity( Removed Telopeptides, Antigenicity Peptides)
2. Direct Volume and Scaffold Effect
3. Need High Purity
