"In our skin, dermal fibroblast cells continually make collagen and its production is increased when needed, such as during wound healing," says Dr. Jeanette M. Black, a board-certified dermatologist practicing in Beverly Hills. "As we age, we see a decrease of collagen in the skin. The degradation of collagen is amplified by environmental factors such as radiation from the sun."
The loss of collagen in our skin, which really starts to taper around age 30, contributes to signs of aging, such as laxity, thinning skin and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
