Why Collagen Matters in Your 30s and How to Support Your Skin Naturally

Introduction

If you have noticed your skin does not feel as firm or fresh as it used to, you are not alone. For many people, their 30s are when small changes start to show. Your skin may feel less bouncy, or you may begin to see fine lines and a gradual loss of volume.

One word you will hear a lot is collagen. But what is it, and why is it so important for your skin?

What is collagen and why do we need it?

Collagen is one of the main building blocks of your skin. It helps keep your face looking firm, smooth, and full.

When we are younger, our body produces plenty of collagen. As we get older, this production starts to slow down, often beginning in the late 20s.

By the time you reach 30, you can lose around 1 percent of your collagen each year. Over time, this can lead to fine lines, looser skin, and a more tired looking complexion.

The good news is that there are treatments that can help support your skin and encourage collagen production again.

At The Muse Medi Spa, we focus on regenerative treatments that help your skin repair and renew itself.

Why combining treatments works so well

We believe the best results often come from using more than one approach. A single treatment can make a difference, but combining injectables with advanced skin treatments often delivers stronger and longer lasting results.

Below are three of our most effective treatments for improving collagen levels and overall skin quality.

Sculptra

Sculptra works differently to traditional fillers. Rather than adding instant volume, it encourages your body to produce its own collagen over time.

Results build gradually, so changes look natural. With continued treatment, it can improve volume, firmness, and skin texture.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are one of the most exciting advances in skin regeneration.

They help repair damaged skin, improve hydration, and support healthier skin cells. They also play a role in boosting collagen production, which improves elasticity and overall skin quality.

SkinPen microneedling and Polyneedling

Microneedling is a popular treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro channels in the skin. This triggers the skin’s natural healing response and encourages collagen production. Prices start from £200.

At The Muse Medi Spa, we also offer Polyneedling, which takes this a step further.

We use the FDA cleared SkinPen device alongside polynucleotides. The SkinPen helps the polynucleotides absorb deeper into the skin, delivering stronger results and supporting collagen renewal even more effectively.
