Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is characterised by a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, leading to a drooping or hanging appearance. Several factors contribute to sagging skin, including ageing, genetics, sun exposure, weight loss, and collagen depletion. Here are some key features and descriptions associated with sagging skin:

​

1. Loose Appearance: Sagging skin often results in a loose and lax appearance. The skin may no longer have the tautness and smoothness associated with youthful skin.

2. Wrinkles and Folds: As the skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles and folds may become more prominent.

3. Jowls: In the lower face and jaw area, sagging skin can lead to the development of jowls. This is characterised by a sagging or drooping of the skin along the jawline.

4. Crepey Texture: The texture of sagging skin may become thin and crepey, resembling the appearance of crepe paper. This is often a result of decreased collagen and elastin production.

5. Under-Eye Bags: Sagging skin around the eyes can contribute to the development of under-eye bags, giving a tired or aged appearance.

6. Neck and Décolletage Sagging: The skin on the neck and chest (décolletage) may also experience sagging, resulting in the formation of horizontal lines and folds.

7. Loss of Jawline Definition: Sagging skin can lead to a loss of definition along the jawline, contributing to a less sculpted appearance.

8. Sunken Cheeks: In some cases, sagging skin can cause the cheeks to appear sunken or hollow as the underlying supportive structures weaken.

​

It's important to note that while sagging skin is a natural part of the ageing process, certain lifestyle choices, skincare practices, and cosmetic procedures can help manage and reduce its appearance. Regular moisturising, sun protection, a healthy diet, and specific skincare treatments may contribute to maintaining skin elasticity.
