Skin Laxity

When the skin enters the aging stage, whether it is caused by internal or external factors, collagen fibre proteins bond with each other incorrectly, resulting in a gradual loss of youthful elasticity of the skin, the entire thickness of the skin structure seems to be unsupported, the skin generally appears to be flaccid, sagging state, the shape of the face appears to be hypertrophy, the loss of three-dimensional contour.

Skin laxity or Drooping is caused by several factors:

A reduction of the fat cells under the skin (subcutaneous tissue)
Loss of collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis reducing cutaneous strength and elasticity
Gravity, which allows the lax tissue to sag

How to improve skin laxity?

Although this is a natural phenomenon, there are ways to improve skin firmness and maintain a youthful and healthy appearance.

Dietary Adjustment：Diet significantly impacts skin health and firmness. Consuming antioxidant-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains helps protect skin from free radical damage and promotes collagen production. Furthermore, adequate water intake maintains skin hydration and elasticity.
Moderate Exercise：Regular moderate exercise, including facial yoga, improves blood circulation, increases muscle firmness, and enhances skin elasticity.
Proper Hydration：Maintaining skin moisture is crucial for elasticity. Using moisturizers appropriate for your skin type and regularly hydrating and nourishing your skin helps slow down skin sagging.
Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure：Prolonged sun exposure accelerates skin aging and sagging. Use sunscreen and avoid intense sun exposure, especially during midday.
Use Skincare Products：Choosing skincare products with firming and lifting effects, such as those containing collagen, elastin-boosting factors, and anti-aging ingredients, combined with massage, can improve skin firmness.
Professional Treatments：For moderate skin laxity, non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments can tighten sagging skin. Skin tightening treatments include several types of laser therapy and focused ultrasound technology, which stimulate collagen production and can be used on the face and neck, or injectable treatments to lift contours. Severe skin laxity may require more advanced treatments such as surgery or thread lifting.
