Sagging Skin

 

Causes

Collagen and elastin are proteins in the body that keep skin smooth and free of wrinkles – the hallmarks of healthy and youthful-looking skin. Unfortunately, these proteins are broken down over time by things like ageing, damage from the sun, and exposure to toxins in the air. As these proteins weaken, we notice more wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin. Loose or saggy skin around the face, neck, and body parts such as the arms, stomach, thighs are changes that you’ll observe.
