@savvyderm: At 30, you start losing about 1% of your collagen every year—and you won’t get it back. (Bummer, I know.) The real kick in the teeth? Once you hit your 30s and 40s, that number accelerates. 🫠 Throw perimenopause into the mix, and now your collagen is really exiting the building. Ask me how I know. 🤣 Collagen depletion can show up as dehydrated skin, a dull complexion, crepey skin (everywhere), and an overall loss of radiance. Lately, I’ve had countless conversations with women in various stages of collagen depletion who feel the need to apologize for wanting to work on their skin. And to that, I say: Pause, please. Wanting to look your best and have optimal skin health is never something to apologize for. Period. The end. Skin health and collagen-building look different for everyone. For some, it’s solely through an at-home regimen — like the Big 3 I talk about in this video — and sometimes, that’s enough! For others, it involves a mix of in-office treatments alongside their daily routine. Educating my patients about collagen loss isn’t a scare tactic—it’s reality. When you understand the why behind the changes in your skin, that knowledge becomes power. And collagen and elastin aren’t the only things shifting during this time... glycation is next. Ever heard of it? What do you know? Drop it in the comments. 😏
