Sagging Skin

Sagging skin, especially sagging skin on the face, can be extremely upsetting, affecting one’s appearance in undesirable ways. Unfortunately, as we get older sagging or loose skin on the face and elsewhere on the body becomes more and more common. What causes skin laxity and what can be done about it?

What Causes Skin Laxity?

We stretch our skin all the time, many times a day over the course of our lives. When we do, substances in our skin called elastin and collagen work to pull that skin back into its proper place. As we get older, our body produces less collagen, making it hard for our skin to snap back when stretched. The result is sagging facial skin, hand skin, and loose skin in other areas. What can be especially cruel is weight loss, while it may improve your overall body shape and make you healthier, it can leave you with even more skin laxity.
