Understanding Collagen Loss: A Simple Timeline Collagen is the protein responsible for keeping our skin firm, smooth and supported — but from early adulthood, our natural collagen production begins to decline. 🕰 Early 20s Collagen production starts to slow (by around 1% per year). Skin still looks firm, but the foundations are beginning to change beneath the surface. 🕰 30s Loss becomes more noticeable. Fine lines may appear, skin can feel less plump, and recovery from stress, sun exposure or inflammation takes longer. 🕰 40s Collagen and elastin decline accelerates. Skin may start to feel thinner, less firm, with visible laxity and deeper lines developing. 🕰 50s and beyond Hormonal changes can significantly impact collagen levels. Skin may appear drier, less elastic and more fragile, with a greater loss of structure and support. ✨ The good news? While collagen loss is a natural part of ageing, it can be supported. Evidence based skincare, regenerative treatments, and lifestyle choices all play a role in stimulating collagen and maintaining skin strength and quality. The Confidence Clinic offer many treatments in clinic to stimulate collagen from injectable treatments such as polynucleotides, Radiesse and Sunekos to microneedling and less invasive treatments such as HIFU and radio frequency. Understanding the timeline allows us to take a proactive, preventative approach supporting skin health at every stage, not chasing changes once they’ve already happened. 📩 Book a consultation to discuss collagen-supporting treatments via our website: 👉 www.the-confidence-clinic.co.uk #TheConfidenceClinic #CollagenLoss #SkinAgeing #SkinEducation HealthySkin ConfidenceInYourSkin
