How Much Collagen Do we Lose Every year?

Collagen is essential for healthy, firm skin. Collagen provides the strength and support for the upper layers of the skin to rest on, and when we lose it, we start to see wrinkles and sagging. 

Starting in our mid-20s, we start to lose 1-1.5% of our collagen every year. That means that by our 40s, you may have 15-20% less collagen than you did in your 20s. This is why you may start to see more pronounced wrinkles. 

You may have thought about taking a collagen supplement, but sadly these supplements don’t go straight into your skin like they are often marketed to do. So what should you do? Microneedling!

A recent study found that 4 microneedling sessions spaced 4 weeks apart increased collagen production by 400%!

Making microneedling a part of your regular routine is a great way to put more collagen into your “collagen bank” which will plump your skin to  keep it healthy and smooth. 

Start with a series of 4-6, spaced at 4 weeks apart, and then receive treatments 2-4 times per year as maintenance to keep that collagen coming!
