 Hello Trying-
I use Tretinoin (Retin A) cream on my face to smooth out wrinkles and sun damage and it is extremely strong stuff! It is meant to increase exfoliation and in turn reduces acne and may possibly, increase collagen production in aging skin....but, PLEASE do not ever apply that anywhere near your penis. It will burn the hell out of it. I have to be extremely careful not to apply it near my lips or otherwise will regret it for weeks. One application to your penis would be disastrous.
I understand your question though, you are looking for ways of maximizing collagen production post PMMA. I think there are dietary supplements that may help, but I can't comment because I don't have experience in this area.

 Same as GH (growth hormone). Growth hormone releasing peptides and growth hormone releasing hormones stimulate the anterior pituitary gland to secrete in pulses... more growth hormone. The combination you mentioned is the one that I dose before bedtime.

 @Trying Not sure what you are trying to accomplish but it is important to remember that collagen synthesis around a PMMA implant is part of the foreign body reaction. That local region is already soaked in IGF-1 and other anabolic molecules. It is likey neither possible nor even beneficial to try to increase collagen synthesis in a FBR/wound healing environment.

 Hi All,
This is my first post on this site. I am from the UK.......
I have been looking into Girth enhancement via the PMMA route.
Has anyone looked into the use of Tretinoin cream before and after PMMA treatment to increase collagen, along with other types of supplements.

 Posted by EQS > That local region is already soaked in IGF-1 and other anabolic molecules. It is like neither possible nor even beneficial to try to increase collagen synthesis in a FBR/wound healing environment.

Unless of course your liver doesn't receive adequate amounts of HGH to convert to insulin growth factor to do the job as proficiently as it did when you were younger. Aging is in part the body's inability to Repair itself at the same rate it incurs damage. Anyone over the age of 30 will likely benefit from HGH whether bioidentical HGH or natural HGH via use of secretagogues and will note a marked difference in collagen deposition even as a foreign body reaction. HGH is in part also why children don't scar as badly as adults do, why they heal faster, have nicer skin, hair, nails, etc. IGF-1, (a protein) repairs damage. Without youthful levels of HGH, you're not producing enough IGF-1. It is INDEED possible to increase collagen deposition in a foreign body reaction and likely BENEFICIAL in our case (though clearly only in older individuals or individuals whose systems are somehow compromised).
