Can one be too old to generate new collagen?

December 18, 2014
Asked By:Loosie in Victoria, BC

I am 62 and am considering several different skin rejuvenation methods to tighten some slight sagging and reduce the wrinkles around my mouth and eyes. All of them promise to stimulate new collagen, but I'm wondering whether, at my age, I have much collagen left to be stimulated. Is it still worth trying a way to produce new collagen, or is it too late to hope for much improvement?
