What is sagging skin?
Sagging skin is a complex process that results in many biological, biochemical and physical interactions.
It appears mainly following aging, significant weight loss or hormonal changes. Other factors can be the cause of sagging skin, such as tobacco consumption, an unhealthy lifestyle or overexposure to the sun.
This sagging alters skin functions:
- Cell renewal is slowed down;
- Fibroblasts (cells that make collagen and elastin) weaken;
- The amount of hyaluronic acid in our dermis decreases ;
- Muscle and fat wasting appeared;
- Keratinocytic proliferation is slowed down.
These age-related changes in our bodies result in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, thinning skin, loss of elasticity, drier skin, excess skin and sagging.
Sagging skin is therefore the main cause of aesthetic alteration of the face. In particular the oval of the face, which concerns the lower part of it. This area extends from the ears to the mandibles. Known as “the triangle of youth,” the oval of the face naturally takes the shape of a V.
