Saggy Skin

What Is Saggy Skin?

Saggy skin is characterized by loose, drooping skin that often occurs as a result of aging, weight loss, or the natural decline in collagen and elastin production. As the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, it begins to sag, particularly in areas like the face, neck, and body. Other factors, such as sun exposure and gravity, also contribute to the breakdown of skin structure over time. Sagging skin can make the face and body appear older and less defined, often leading to a loss of confidence in one’s appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does skin sag as we age?
As we age, collagen and elastin levels decrease, and the skin loses its ability to bounce back, leading to sagging.
Yes, prolonged UV exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, weakening the skin’s structure and contributing to sagging.
Yes, rapid or significant weight loss can cause the skin to stretch and sag, as it may not have enough elasticity to retract fully.
Biostimulators like Sculptra work by encouraging collagen production, restoring the skin’s structure and helping to tighten loose areas over time.
RF microneedling uses radiofrequency energy to heat deeper layers of the skin, tightening and firming sagging areas by stimulating collagen production.
