Skin & Collagen Support Panel

Full Blood Count (Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Red Blood Cell Count, White Blood Cell Count, Platelet Count) — Provides baseline blood health and circulation status that supports nutrient delivery to the skin.

Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST, ALP, Bilirubin, Albumin) — Assesses liver health, which produces key proteins and growth factors essential for collagen synthesis.

Kidney Function (eGFR, Creatinine, Urea) — Ensures kidney function supports detoxification and overall skin clarity.

hs-CRP — Measures baseline systemic inflammation that accelerates skin ageing and collagen breakdown.

Full Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3) — Assesses thyroid function, which strongly influences skin hydration, elasticity, and collagen turnover.

IGF-1 — Key growth factor linked to collagen production, skin thickness, and wound healing.

Vitamin D (25-OH) — Important for skin barrier function, collagen synthesis, and protection against premature ageing.

Full Blood Count (Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Red Blood Cell Count, White Blood Cell Count, Platelet Count) — Monitors blood health and circulation under increased skin repair and collagen production demands.

Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST, ALP, Bilirubin, Albumin) — Evaluates how the liver is supporting collagen precursor production and skin regeneration during the cycle.

Kidney Function (eGFR, Creatinine, Urea) — Ensures kidneys are handling metabolic waste effectively while skin repair processes are active.

hs-CRP — Tracks reductions in systemic inflammation that can improve skin texture and slow collagen degradation.

Full Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3) — Checks whether thyroid function is supporting skin hydration, elasticity, and metabolic rate for optimal collagen synthesis.

IGF-1 — Monitors growth hormone activity and its effectiveness in promoting collagen production and skin regeneration.

Vitamin D (25-OH) — Assesses levels supporting skin barrier function and collagen synthesis during the cycle.

Cortisol — Monitors stress hormone levels, as elevated cortisol accelerates collagen breakdown and skin ageing.

Full Blood Count (Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Red Blood Cell Count, White Blood Cell Count, Platelet Count) — Confirms blood health and circulation have returned to normal, supporting ongoing skin repair.

Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST, ALP, Bilirubin, Albumin) — Verifies liver function has recovered and can continue producing proteins for collagen maintenance.

Kidney Function (eGFR, Creatinine, Urea) — Ensures kidney function has normalised after the cycle.

hs-CRP — Confirms systemic inflammation has decreased back to healthy baseline levels.

Full Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3) — Verifies thyroid function and skin-related metabolic processes are stable.

IGF-1 — Checks growth factor-related markers have returned to normal range, supporting long-term collagen production.

Vitamin D (25-OH) — Ensures levels supporting skin barrier function and collagen synthesis are stable.

Cortisol — Assesses whether stress response has normalised, allowing collagen repair and skin recovery to stabilise.
