If you’ve noticed your skin becoming thinner, less firm or developing fine lines, you’re not alone. One of the main reasons for these changes is the gradual loss of collagen.
Collagen is the protein that gives skin its strength, structure and elasticity. As we age, our bodies naturally produce less of it.
When does collagen loss begin?
Collagen production starts to slow from our mid to late twenties.
From around the age of 30, collagen levels gradually decline each year. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, poor diet and stress can accelerate this process.
Over time, this may lead to:
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Loss of firmness.
- Drier skin.
- Reduced elasticity.
- Slower skin repair.
Can you prevent collagen loss?
Collagen loss is a natural part of ageing and cannot be completely prevented.
However, healthy lifestyle choices can help support your skin by:
- Wearing sunscreen daily.
- Eating a balanced diet rich in protein and Vitamin C.
- Avoiding smoking.
- Staying well hydrated.
- Getting enough sleep.
These habits help maintain healthier skin for longer.
Can treatments stimulate collagen?
Yes.
Several professional treatments are designed to encourage your skin’s natural collagen production.
These include:
- Microneedling.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).
- Polynucleotide treatments.
- Selected skin boosters.
The most suitable treatment depends on your skin concerns, age and desired results.
Is there one treatment that’s best?
No.
Every person’s skin is different.
