As we age, our skin loses elasticity resulting in sagging and loose skin. This process is known as intrinsic ageing, where the body’s ability to produce collagen and elastin decreases over time. Another cause is extreme or rapid weight loss.
When we gain weight, our skin stretches to accommodate. When that drastic weight is lost, the skin cannot retract as much resulting in loose skin in certain areas of the body and also visible with the appearance of eye bags and a slack jaw. Ageing reduces our collagen production capabilities, so stretched skin results in a sagging appearance.
It won’t, but it can lead to sleep wrinkles. These are creases and fine lines on your body and face you see in the morning. As we age and with lesser collagen produced, these can become permanent. The best advice would be to try and sleep on your back.
At Amaris B. Clinic, we have many treatments to address your sagging and loose skin issues. These include Ultherapy and UltRA+ Lift.
