Hitting your 30s or 40s doesn’t just mean a few fine lines. It’s when your skin starts changing in ways you didn’t expect. One day your cheeks look a little flatter, your jawline a little softer, everything’s changing somewhat.
That’s what collagen loss looks like in action. And while it’s completely normal, it can sneak up on you fast if you’re not doing something to slow it down. Thermage treatments are becoming a popular way to maintain collagen levels, reducing aging impacts on your skin. Let’s break down the benefits
What is Collagen, and why does it matter?
Collagen is the main structural protein found in skin and other connective tissues, and it’s what keeps everything looking young and fresh. Your body naturally produces less collagen every year after your 20s. As you age, less collagen means that your facial structure starts to break down, leading to lines, sagging, and the other changes you may be noticing.
How does collagen banking help my skin’s structure?
Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate deep collagen production in the skin without surgery, needles, or downtime. By doing it before visible aging kicks in, your collagen levels stay more consistent. That means some of the undesired effects of collagen loss, such as lines and sagging skin, aren’t as likely to show up.
Collagen banking isn’t just a one-off treatment, it’s one of many where consistency pays off. The more collagen production you stimulate, the less likely you are to see aging impact your facial structure.
It’s like investing in an RRSP
To understand the value of long-term collagen banking, think about another long-term investment you’re probably already familiar with: saving for retirement.
Let’s say your goal is to retire at 65 with a million dollars. If you start investing at 25 and earn an average annual return of 8%, you’d need to contribute just $286 a month for 40 years. But if you wait until 35 to start? That monthly amount more than doubles to $671.
Collagen works the same way. The earlier you start building and preserving it, the more you bank, and the less you’ll need to “catch up” with corrective treatments later on. Just like in investing, waiting means you’ll have to do more to achieve the same result. Starting early sets you up for smoother, more resilient skin in the long run.
Oprah’s the poster child
While many celebrities stay quiet about their treatment choices, Oprah has publicly endorsed Thermage, and consistently had treatments. It’s the reason that her skin looks youthful and fresh, even as she’s entered her 70s. Due to her consistent Thermage appointments, she’s always flush with collagen, and has never had to explore more corrective treatments.
