Causes of Sagging and Loose Skin
There are a few risk factors that contribute to or accelerate the process of skin sagging:
Menopause
Research indicates that women experience a decline of approximately 30% in collagen levels within the first five years of menopause.
UV light damage
Unprotected exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays speeds up the breakdown of collagen and elastin, weakening the skin’s support structure and leading to sagging.
Artificial Tanning
Excessive tanning can result in drooping, leathery skin and may even cause uneven skin tone.
Smoking
Unhealthy habits like smoking can negatively impact collagen production and overall skin health.

Treatment Options for Sagging Skin
There are new technologies that can effectively firm up the skin, providing natural-looking results with minimal risk and no downtime.
Ultrasound Therapy (Ultherapy)
A non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on the neck, chin and brow.
How To Keep Your Skin Healthy
The best way to slow down skin sagging is to regularly apply sunscreen, avoid smoking or tanning, and incorporate ingredients that promote collagen production such as retinoids, peptides or hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine. Our bodies are primarily made up of water, which is why one should maintain a healthy lifestyle with a diet rich in vitamin C and E and stay hydrated to keep our skin healthy and firm.
