What You Should Know About Saggy Skin and Its Treatment

Sagging skin is a natural process that occurs with aging. It is a result of the skin’s elasticity, which decreases as we age. The decrease in elasticity causes the skin to lose its firmness and it droops down. As a result, the appearance of wrinkles and lines becomes more noticeable.

Nowadays there are many treatments available to combat sagging skin including surgery, laser therapy and injections. There are also many home remedies for saggy skin such as using sunscreen and moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated or applying lemon juice or honey on your face for 10 minutes every other day. These remedies will help you fight signs of aging and make your skin look healthier in time.

Even if we despise it, everyone is affected by skin sagging.

Your face's folds, such as the laugh lines, may have appeared more pronounced, and your face may have taken on a more angular and bottom-heavy appearance.

Additionally, your skin may not feel as firm and taut to the touch as it did previously.

These are all indicators that the skin on your face is beginning to sag.

Why Do We Sag in the Skin?

1. Loss of Elastin and Collagen

The foundation of young, elastic skin is composed of collagen and elastin.

They create the mesh that holds the skin in place, fighting gravity's pull and keeping it taut and firm.

Our skin loses collagen and elastin as we age and are exposed to the sun, which causes drooping as this supporting mesh becomes less elastic.

As each person's skin is designed to age differently, genetics also play a part in how quickly we age.

Additionally, while collagen and elastin production declines with aging, stimulating its production is a key component of treatments for sagging skin.

1. Reduced Volume

Our deep fat pads and facial skeleton, which support the skin above them, are crucial for maintaining a youthful appearance.

While most people are aware that as they age, their skin grows looser, it is less well known that as they age, the structures supporting their skin also deteriorate, making them look even more sagging.
