Wild Secret #1: It’s Not Just Aging—It’s Collagen

Ever notice how some women seem to age overnight during menopause? It’s not your imagination. One of the biggest reasons is a rapid decline in collagen.


Many women lose a significant amount of collagen during the menopausal transition. In fact, during the first five years, it can be up to 30%! These changes can lead to sagging skin, crepey texture, deeper lines, and skin that simply doesn’t bounce back the way it used to.


But here’s the Wild Secret: your skin is still capable of change.


That’s why we’re obsessed with treatments that support collagen production and long-term skin health, like intensive microneedling. We call it Collagen Banking. Every peel, every microneedling treatment, every HydraFacial, every Plasma Pen treatment, and every advanced skincare recommendation is chosen with one goal in mind: helping your future skin.


Because the best time to invest in collagen was 10 years ago. The second-best time is today. At The Wild Beauty Bar, Collagen Banking is our main focus—investing in your skin today so it stays stronger, healthier, and more resilient tomorrow.

Wild Secret #2: Collagen Depletion Is One of the Biggest Contributors to Visible Skin Aging

Let’s break down the collagen depletion aging process:

  • Collagen production gradually declines beginning in the mid-20s.
  • On average, collagen content and synthesis decrease by about 1% per year in adulthood.
  • The rate varies between individuals based on genetics, UV exposure, smoking, hormones, nutrition, and lifestyle.


A few factors are even more dramatic than the 1% figure—especially menopause. This is the big one. Research suggests women can lose:

  • Up to 30% of skin collagen in the first five years after menopause
  • Then approximately 2% per year thereafter


That’s why some women feel like their skin changed more between ages 48–55 than it did between 30–45.

A 60-year-old who protected their skin from UV exposure may have substantially more collagen than a 45-year-old who spent decades tanning. UV damage is arguably a bigger collagen destroyer than chronological aging.


This is important: your fibroblasts don’t suddenly stop existing. Instead:

  • They become less active
  • They receive weaker signaling
  • They produce less collagen
  • Existing collagen becomes fragmented and disorganized


That’s one reason why all of our treatments focus on rebuilding collagen, growing more fibroblasts, and increasing collagen synthesis. You can improve skin quality even later in life—our treatments are essentially telling those fibroblasts: “Hey, wake up. We’ve got work to do.”

Wild Secret #3: Get the Most Out of Your Downtime – Pelvic Floor Chair (Coming Soon!)

At The Wild Beauty Bar, we created this as an add-on treatment you can do during your numbing time—helping you make the most of every minute of your appointment. While your numbing cream is working before microneedling, Plasma Pen, or other advanced treatments, why not put that time to work?


Get in 12,000 powerful pelvic floor contractions during your session:

  • 12,000 Kegels
  • Fully clothed
  • No pain
  • No downtime
  • No extra appointment

Most places offer this treatment as a standalone service, requiring a separate appointment and charging $300–$500 per session. If you add this to your treatment, it’s only $50.


Because we build your treatments for maximum results. Sitting and scrolling is an option…but you could also get in thousands of Kegels while you wait.
