Your body naturally produces collagen and transports it throughout the body. However, as we age, collagen levels drop, which can result in looser skin, joint tenderness, fine lines, and wrinkles. We can stimulate higher levels of collagen production by eating a well-balanced diet, high in protein, vitamin C, zinc, and copper. We can also increase collagen stores by taking collagen supplements, adopting healthy lifestyle habits (such as exercising, not smoking, and wearing sunscreen), and adhering to a daily skincare routine. Non-surgical medical treatments, such as microneedling and PRP therapy, are also widely available and can help boost collagen levels.
