Collagen: Your Skin’s Bestie (That Gets a Little Lazy With Age)

Jul 22

If you’ve ever wondered why your skin was so plump, smooth, and bouncy in your twenties—it’s collagen. It’s the protein that keeps everything firm, lifted, and glowing. Think of it as the scaffolding that holds your skin up and keeps it looking youthful.

But here’s the kicker: collagen has a bit of a diva moment as we age. Around your mid-20s (rude, I know), your body starts producing less of it. By the time you hit your 30s and 40s, that slowdown becomes noticeable—hello fine lines, sagging, and that “why does my skin look tired even when I’m not?” feeling.

So, What’s Collagen Actually Doing?

It keeps your skin firm and elastic
It helps maintain hydration
It supports wound healing and skin renewal
It even plays a role in joint and muscle health (bonus!)

Basically, collagen is working overtime behind the scenes… until it decides to take a long vacation.

Can We Get It Back?

Yes—and that’s where we come in! At Mr. Injection, we offer treatments that wake up your collagen and get it back to work. Some of my favorites?

Microneedling: Tiny controlled injuries = big collagen comeback.
Radiofrequency & RF Microneedling: Heat + stimulation = firmer, tighter skin.
Laser Treatments: A little zap to kickstart collagen production.
Injectables: Some even stimulate collagen while giving instant volume.
Topical Products: Medical-grade skincare with peptides and retinoids can help support collagen from the outside.

Bonus Tip: Feed Your Collagen

Collagen loves vitamin C, protein, and antioxidants. So yes, your green smoothie is doing more than just making you feel virtuous. And if you’re into supplements, collagen powders can be a nice boost—just make sure they’re high quality.

It isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling confident in your skin. Whether you’re noticing early signs of aging or just want to stay ahead of the game, restoring collagen is one of the smartest things you can do.

So if you’re ready to give your skin a pep talk (and maybe a little tough love), come see us. We’ll build a plan that helps your collagen get back on track—and keeps you glowing at every age.
