Loose / Sagging Skin

As individuals age, the inevitability of loose and sagging skin becomes more apparent. The primary reason behind the emergence of loose and sagging skin is the gradual loss of collagen and elastin over time. These natural proteins, crucial for the skin’s ability to rebound, regenerate, and maintain firmness and tautness, decline steadily at a rate of approximately 1% each year after the age of 20.

The ageing process, and consequently the development of loose and sagging skin, can be sped up by various external factors. Spending excessive time in the sun, smoking, engaging in heavy drinking, and living in a polluted environment are among the external contributors to the acceleration of this phenomenon.
