Ageing: One of the primary factors contributing to sagging skin is the natural ageing process. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin – proteins responsible for skin elasticity – decreases, leading to a loss of firmness and suppleness.
Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of collagen fibers, resulting in premature ageing and sagging skin.
Genetics: Genetic factors play a role in determining skin structure and elasticity. Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to develop sagging skin earlier in life.
Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can lead to sagging skin, as the skin may not have enough time to adapt to the body’s new contours.
Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can contribute to the development of sagging skin.
| Sign of Sagging Skin | Description |
|---|---|
| Loose or Excess Skin | The most noticeable sign of sagging skin is the presence of loose or excess skin in specific areas, such as the jowls, neck, and underarms. |
| Wrinkles and Fine Lines | Sagging skin and skin laxity often accompany the formation of wrinkles and fine lines, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. |
| Decreased Skin Firmness | A reduction in skin firmness and elasticity is a key indicator of sagging skin. The skin may appear less toned and resilient. |
| Hollowed or Sunken Areas | Sagging can lead to the loss of volume in certain facial areas, resulting in a hollow or sunken appearance. |
For addressing sagging skin, an effective option we specialise in at Dermal Health is poly-L-lactic acid and caprolactone p(LA-CL threads, which provide a non-surgical solution to lift and rejuvenate the skin. This treatment involves inserting biocompatible and biodegradable threads beneath the skin, which offer an immediate lifting effect but also enhance the skin’s structural integrity.
For more information about the threads we use at Dermal Health please visit our thread lift page here.
After strategically positioning the threads under the skin, sagging tissues are immediately supported and lifted. This provides a noticeable improvement straight after the procedure.
Threads activate the natural production of collagen, vital for maintaining the elasticity and strength of the skin. This ongoing collagen boost helps in improving the skin’s texture and firmness.
The dual benefits of an instant lift and progressive rejuvenation through collagen production ensure that the results can be sustained for up to two years or more.
Minimally Invasive Approach: Unlike traditional surgical lifts, threads require no cuts or incisions, leading to a quicker, less invasive procedure with minimal recovery time.
The gradual improvement in the skin’s appearance following the procedure allows for more subtle, natural-looking results, avoiding the overt changes that surgeries might impart.
p(LA-CL) threads are versatile and are capable of treating various areas of the face and neck that exhibit signs of ageing or sagging.
This method offers a practical and efficient solution for those seeking to reverse the signs of ageing without the complexities and downtime associated with surgical options.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. We use the safe option of dermal fillers, ones that contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that hydrates and plumps the skin. For more information visit our dermal fillers page here.
