Understanding collagen loss — and how to get it back
Collagen is often described as the “glue” that holds everything together — and for good reason. It’s the most abundant protein in the body and the essential building block of our skin, hair, nails, joints, and connective tissue. In short, collagen is what gives our skin its firmness, bounce, and youthful glow.
What Happens to Collagen As We Age?
From our mid-20s, collagen production begins to slow down. By age 30, most people begin to notice subtle changes in their skin — fine lines, dullness, and a gradual loss of elasticity. After 40, collagen loss accelerates even more rapidly. In fact, women can lose up to 30% of their collagen in the first five years of menopause alone.
External factors like sun exposure, pollution, smoking, poor diet, and stress also speed up this natural decline. The result? Wrinkles, sagging, dehydration, and uneven texture become more visible.
But here’s the good news: it’s never too late to start replenishing collagen and restoring your skin’s vitality. With the right approach, you can support your body’s natural regeneration processes and significantly improve your skin’s tone, firmness, and hydration.
How Can We Boost Collagen?
At Beauty Reclaimed, we take a multi-layered, results-driven approach to collagen restoration — combining in-clinic treatments with targeted homecare and internal support.
✨ In-Clinic Collagen-Stimulating Treatments
Our advanced skin treatments are designed to kickstart your skin’s own collagen production:
-
Skin Needling (Collagen Induction Therapy): Creates controlled micro-injuries that signal the skin to repair and regenerate, increasing collagen and elastin production over time.
-
Venus Versa Radiofrequency: Delivers heat to the deeper layers of skin to stimulate fibroblasts — the collagen-producing cells — for firmer, tighter skin.
-
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Beyond correcting pigmentation and redness, IPL improves skin texture and tone by stimulating collagen production beneath the surface.
-
Hydrolux Hydrodermabrasion: Gently exfoliates, hydrates and infuses the skin to improve tone, texture, and overall skin health — an excellent complement to your active treatments.
These treatments work best when performed in a short course (3–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, with peels in between) to maximise collagen stimulation and achieve long-lasting results.
💧 Beauty From Within: Vida Glow Marine Collagen
Topical treatments play a huge role in skin transformation — but boosting collagen from the inside out completes the picture.
That’s where Vida Glow’s Natural Marine Collagen comes in. This hydrolysed marine collagen delivers bioavailable peptides that your body can easily absorb and use to rebuild collagen in the skin, hair, and nails.
Proven benefits of daily collagen supplementation:
-
✅ Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

Vida Glow’s flavourless powder is easy to incorporate into your daily routine — simply mix into water, tea, coffee or smoothies. With daily use, most clients notice visible results within 8–12 weeks, especially when combined with professional treatments.
