What is saggy skin?
Saggy skin, also known as loose or flabby skin, refers to skin that has lost its elasticity and firmness, resulting in a lax or drooping appearance. It may appear wrinkled, creased, or less smooth compared to tightening skin. Saggy skin can occur in various areas of the body, such as the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. It is commonly associated with aging, but it can also occur due to factors such as rapid weight loss, pregnancy, prolonged sun exposure, genetics, and certain medical conditions. Saggy skin can have cosmetic implications and may impact an individual’s self-esteem or body image.
What causes saggy skin?
Collagen and elastin are the primary factors that contribute to the firmness of your skin. As we age, the skin tends to lose its elasticity and the production of collagen decreases. Consequently, sagging skin can occur, making a person appear older than their actual age. In
addition to the natural aging process, sagging skin can also result from significant weight loss
over a relatively short period. Sun damage can further contribute to sagging skin as it leads to
the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and gradual development of sagging skin.
