Collagen Deep Dive: What It Is and Why You Need It

When we talk about healthy, youthful skin, one word always comes up: collagen. But what is collagen, and why is it such a crucial part of your skin’s health and appearance? In this deep dive, we'll explore what collagen does for your skin, why its production decreases over time, and how you can boost it both in-clinic and at home.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is often referred to as the “scaffolding” of your skin. It’s the protein responsible for providing structure, strength, and elasticity to not only your skin but also your hair, nails, and joints. Think of it as the glue that holds everything together. When we have plenty of collagen, our skin is smooth, firm, and plump, reflecting that enviable youthful glow.

Why Do We Lose Collagen as We Age?

Unfortunately, our natural collagen production decreases as we age, beginning as early as our mid-20s. Every year, we produce around 1% less collagen, which over time contributes to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Other factors such as UV exposure, pollution, diet, smoking, and stress can accelerate this breakdown, making it even more difficult to maintain your skin's strength and vitality.

How to Boost Collagen: In-Clinic & At-Home

The good news is, there are effective ways to replenish your collagen and regain that youthful, radiant skin!

  1. In-Clinic Treatments
    At Tahnee Raine, we offer a variety of treatments to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. These treatments can be tailored to your individual needs, ensuring the best possible results.

  2. At-Home Collagen Support with Imbibe
    It’s not just about external treatments—supporting your skin from within is just as important! That’s where supplements like Imbibe come in. Imbibe’s collagen supplements are designed to nourish your skin at the cellular level, boosting collagen production, enhancing hydration, and providing the building blocks for smoother, firmer skin. Incorporating Imbibe into your daily routine helps maintain your results and keeps your skin healthy, glowing, and youthful.
