As skin ages, loss of collagen, elastin and fat leads to crepey, wrinkled skin with reduced elasticity. Significant weight loss also often results in saggy excess skin.
Why Loose Skin Treatment
As we get older, our skin naturally loses its youthful elasticity and firmness due to several factors that degrade collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis. Sun exposure, pollution, smoking, and repetitive movement damage skin cell integrity over time.
Intrinsic aging also slows down cell turnover, thinning the dermis. Levels of hyaluronic acid decline as well resulting in less moisture and suppleness. Cumulatively, these aging processes reduce skin’s density and ability to snap back taut.
Significant weight fluctuations further tax skin’s elastic capacity. When losing a substantial amount of weight, the skin may lag behind the slimming, leaving saggy folds and excess tissue. This is especially common in areas like the abdomen, breasts, arms, thighs and neck.
Both aging and obesity stretch skin past its breaking point diminishing elasticity. As the supportive proteins deteriorate, skin appears creepy, wrinkled and descended. Facial features droop while body skin sags.
