Dealing With Skin Laxity?
Skin Laxity is something we will all experience as we age regardless of how much we work out and eat healthily. For skin to be tight, it depends on collagen and elastin, two components of the deep layer of the skin called the dermis. Elastin and collagen are found just above the fat layer beneath our skin. If you are experiencing signs of sagging skin, our West Coast Wellness & Aesthetics team can provide effective treatment to help address this concern.
How Does Skin Laxity Occur?
Skin laxity that occurs with age is primarily due to a loss of collagen networks, elastin fibers, and hyaluronic acid — a molecule that helps the skin retain moisture. Weight loss, especially significant or rapid weight loss, and pregnancy can also loosen the skin by stretching skin molecules or changing the skin’s structure. Several other health and lifestyle factors can also contribute to loose skin, including
- Menopause
- Ultraviolet (UV) light damage
- Artificial tanning
- Certain medications, such as steroids and corticosteroids
- Skin products, or detergents containing harsh chemicals
- Smoking
- Drinking alcohol
What Are the Signs?
The appearance of wrinkles on the face, forehead, around the mouth, and near the nose are the most revealing signs of sagging skin. Some people can experience skin laxity under their chin or on other parts of their bodies. Dryness and uneven pigmentation like age or brown spots tend to accompany sagging. These signs can worsen over time if you are frequently exposed to direct sunlight or environmental irritants.
