Sagging Skin

What is Sagging Skin?

Sagging skin typically occurs due to ageing, weight loss, or sun damage. As we age, the skin loses collagen and elastin—proteins that help maintain firmness and elasticity. Other contributing factors include genetics, lifestyle such as smoking or poor diet, and environmental exposure.

Changes include: loose, crepey skin, wrinkles and fine lines, jowls, drooping eyelids, and thinning skin.
