Sagging Skin

There are many reasons why you may be experiencing loose, saggy or crepey skin on your face or body but the three main factors tend to be ageing, weight loss and sun exposure.  

Ageing:  Collagen and elastin production decline as we get older and your skin becomes noticeably older in your 40s (and particularly during the first few years of menopause for women).  Collagen provides structure to your skin, while elastin ensures your skin is able to stretch and recoil.  So it’s fair to say that collagen and elastin are important in giving your skin its texture, shape, and youthfulness.

Weight loss:  Perhaps the most significant cause of loose skin for men and women is when you lose weight quickly or you lose excessive fat. Sometimes your skin will regain its shape, but many people turn to surgical and non-surgical options to lose flabby skin after losing weight. 

Sun exposure: Too much exposure to the sun’s UV rays damages the skin’s elastin fibres which means your skin is less about snap back into shape. 

We can recommend a number on non-surgical treatments to firm saggy skin, improve the appearance of crepey skin, and give you a much younger, fresh and natural appearance.  Book a consultation at Divine Beauty Salon in Northwood Hills by calling 01923 825781 or book online.
