By your 40s, collagen production has already slowed — but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with sagging or dull skin.
At Platinum Cosmetics, we help clients support their skin at every stage of life. Whether you’re after firmer contours, smoother texture, or long-term skin health, non-invasive collagen treatments can make a visible difference.
Here’s what’s happening under the surface — and what you can do about it.
What Happens to Collagen as We Age?
From around age 25, collagen levels start declining by about 1% each year. By 40, this adds up to a noticeable change:
Loss of firmness and elasticity
Softening around the jawline or cheeks
Increased fine lines or crepiness
Thinner, less resilient skin
Sun exposure, stress, smoking, and poor sleep can speed this up — but so can simply time and genetics.
How We Treat Collagen Loss — Without Needles
At our Port Melbourne clinic, we offer several non-invasive options to stimulate natural collagen production:
Fotona 4D®: A powerful multi-step laser that lifts, firms, and rejuvenates from inside the mouth to the skin’s surface — ideal for mild to moderate laxity.
SmoothEye® and LipLase®: Target delicate areas with no downtime and long-term collagen benefits.
Skin rejuvenation treatments: Use light and energy to improve texture, firmness, and overall skin health.
Facials: Support hydration and barrier strength to maintain results and support treatment outcomes.
What About Supplements and Skincare?
While no product replaces clinical stimulation, your skin care can support collagen by:
Providing topical peptides and antioxidants
Reducing inflammation (which breaks collagen down)
Strengthening the skin barrier so collagen can do its job
Look for:
Vitamin C (helps with collagen synthesis)
Niacinamide (barrier and tone support)
Retinoids (stimulate cell turnover — if your skin tolerates them)
SPF daily to slow collagen breakdown
The Most Important Step? Timing.
Many people wait until changes feel drastic before acting — but collagen support works best when it’s preventative and consistent.
Whether you’re just noticing changes or want to maintain what you have, a personalised plan can help you feel more in control of your skin as it evolves.
