Collagen is the protein that gives skin its structure, firmness, and elasticity. When we are young,
collagen is abundant. Skin is smooth, plump, and resilient. But by our mid-30s, collagen
production begins to decline by about 1% per year. By the time we hit our 40s and 50s, that loss
becomes visible: fine lines, laxity, hollowness, and a loss of youthful contour.
The idea of “collagen banking” means investing in your skin early by stimulating and
preserving collagen before the decline becomes severe.
Why Start Early?
Think of collagen like a savings account: the more you deposit early, the more you have to draw
on later.
● Prevention: Supporting collagen now delays the onset of visible aging.
● Better Results: Early treatments require less correction and create more natural results.
● Long-Term Savings: Building collagen gradually can mean fewer invasive treatments
later.
Treatments That Build Collagen
We offer several modern ways to stimulate your own collagen naturally:
● Microneedling: Creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin
production, improving texture and firmness.
● Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse): Injectable treatments that stimulate fibroblasts to
rebuild collagen from within.
● PRP/PRF: Use your own growth factors to regenerate skin quality and elasticity.
● Energy-Based Devices: Radiofrequency or ultrasound-based treatments gently heat
deeper layers of the skin, prompting new collagen formation.
● Medical-Grade Skincare: Ingredients like retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants support
collagen maintenance at home.
What About Fillers and Tox?
Wrinkle relaxers (like Botox or Dysport) and dermal fillers play an important role in rejuvenation,
but don’t directly stimulate collagen. That’s why a collagen-building strategy often combines
these with regenerative therapies for comprehensive, natural-looking results.
Building Your Collagen Banking Plan
At our practice, we design personalized treatment plans based on age, skin condition, and
goals. For someone in their 30s, this may mean annual biostimulator sessions paired with
quarterly microneedling. In later decades, we may layer in regenerative treatments or combine
therapies for more dramatic results.
The key is consistency. Just like investing financially, collagen banking works best when started
early and maintained regularly.
