We start to lose 1% of our collagen from the age of 30, this is accelerated throughout the peri- & post-menopausal period.
Symptoms:
Mild to moderate skin laxity & facial sagging often presents initially with with pronunciation of nasolabial and marionette folds. Jowling and loss of definition to the jawline as well as loose skin across the neck are common features of moderate to severe skin laxity.

Loss of collagen starts as early as our 20s however accelerates significantly around the menopausal period. Patients often therefore find that their skin tightness rapidly declines. We recommend starting skin tightening treatments as early as possible to account for this, this method is referred to as “collagen banking”.
This is a common concern indeed that can significantly impact confidence levels during and after a period of weight loss.
