Collagen is the main structural protein in the human body, giving skin its strength, density, and mechanical support. Around 75–80% of the dermis is made of collagen. Among the various types, Tropocollagen Type I is the most abundant and the most relevant to aesthetic medicine.

What is Tropocollagen?

Tropocollagen is the precursor molecule that assembles into collagen fibers. It is structurally similar to the collagen produced by fibroblasts in the human body, which is why it integrates so effectively into skin tissues when delivered through treatments like TC-MAX.

The Role of Type I in the Skin

Type I collagen is responsible for:

• Skin strength and structural integrity
• Tensile strength and resilience
• Wound healing and tissue repair
• Supporting the extracellular matrix

Why It Matters for Biovera Products

TC-MAX is based on Tropocollagen Type I combined with elastin, glycosaminoglycans, and other valuable proteins. This unique composition is the foundation of modern anti-ageing and regenerative therapies, providing physicians with a powerful tool to stimulate new collagen production naturally.

The Ageing Factor

Collagen production decreases with age — by approximately 1% per year after the age of 20. In the Saudi climate, accelerated UV exposure can speed up this decline. Tropocollagen-based biostimulators like TC-MAX help counteract this natural loss and support the skin's regenerative capacity.
