My skin is sagging

Skin sagging is a natural part of aging. Throughout life, the skin produces collagen and elastin, two substances that ensure hydration and help maintain elasticity, firmness, and volume. However, as time passes, the production of these components decreases, leading to the first visible signs of aging. Fine lines and wrinkles become more apparent, and facial volume diminishes as the skin loses its suppleness and moisture.

Skin aging can also be caused by other factors. Sun exposure plays a significant role and can lead to age spots. Similarly, an unhealthy lifestyle, along with alcohol and smoking, can cause substantial skin damage that becomes more noticeable with age. Identifying the causes of skin sagging is essential to determining the best treatment solution.

Skin sagging is most visible in older individuals, but it can affect people of various ages. In fact, the skin begins to decrease collagen production as early as age 25. From that point on, skin gradually begins to sag. However, not everyone experiences skin laxity at the same rate.

Depending on individual characteristics, lifestyle, and health, some people will experience sagging skin more quickly than others. Premature aging can cause insecurities and lower self-esteem. Therefore, anyone can benefit from aesthetic medicine to take care of their skin. Whether for corrective treatments to restore volume or for preventative care, many solutions are available.

Skin laxity affects various areas of the body, manifesting differently depending on the location. Skin characteristics vary by region—thicker, thinner, or more delicate—so the signs of aging impact each area differently.

Commonly affected areas include :

• The face, where skin laxity is most visible, marked by wrinkles such as frown lines (between the eyebrows), crow’s feet, and marionette lines at the corners of the lips. The jawline may lose definition as the cheeks sag and the jawline widens, giving the face a tired or downturned appearance.
• The neck and décolleté are particularly fragile, as the skin is very thin. These areas tend to sag quickly and are often one of the first signs of skin aging.
• The arms can show aging with the appearance of excess skin.
• The thighs may experience skin sagging, often linked to muscle laxity.
• The abdomen and stomach skin can be affected by excess fat deposits, which weigh down the silhouette and reduce skin elasticity.
