Skin Concerns
A Guide Skin Laxity: Skin laxity, or sagging skin, is a common concern that can develop due to ageing, weight fluctuations, sun damage, genetics, or lifestyle factors. Skin laxity occurs due to decreased collagen and elastin production, the proteins responsible for skin structure and resilience.
Factors That Contribute to Skin Laxity
Ageing: The natural decrease in collagen and elastin production with age reduces skin firmness.
Sun Damage: Prolonged sun exposure accelerates collagen and elastin breakdown, causing premature ageing and laxity.
Genetics: Some individuals are predisposed to skin laxity due to inherited genes affecting collagen production or skin structure.
Lifestyle: Habits like smoking, poor nutrition, and inadequate skin care can worsen skin laxity.
Weight Fluctuations: Weight fluctuations, particularly rapid weight gain or loss, can overstretch the skin beyond its natural ability to recoil. This stretching weakens the collagen and elastin fibres responsible for skin elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging or loose skin, especially in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms and buttocks.
Impact of Skin Laxity
Skin laxity can significantly impact appearance and well-being, leading to facial ageing, changes in body contour, lowered self-esteem, and even functional impairments in severe cases.
