When looking in the mirror, you may find yourself concerned about a decline in skin elasticity, noticing that your jawline looks less defined than before, your cheeks appear sagging, or your skin looks loose. Skin sagging is said to be a problem that can occur due to various causes, including aging, changes in the fat layer, and decreased elasticity of the fascia layer.

Today, I will summarize everything from the reasons for skin sagging to home care management methods and helpful lifting procedures.

1. Causes of skin sagging

Your skin may not hold its shape as firmly as it used to and could appear to sag or loosen. The causes of such skin sagging are said to be as follows.

 

1) Decrease in collagen and elastin

First of all, as we age, the collagen and elastin in the skin gradually decrease or their structure weakens. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity, and may sag.

 

2) Frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays

One of the factors that accelerates skin sagging is ultraviolet (UV) rays. It is said that UV rays destroy collagen deep within the skin, which can lead to problems such as a decrease in skin elasticity.

 

3) Rapid weight change

It is said that if you lose a significant amount of weight in a short period, facial fat is lost along with it, which can make your skin look saggy.

 

4) Changes in the fat and fascia layers

It is said that if the fat layer inside the face shifts downward or the elasticity of the deep layer supporting the skin weakens, the facial contours are highly likely to appear sagging.

2. Home Care Management for Sagging Skin

If you are concerned about sagging skin, it is recommended to manage it through home care to prevent the loss of skin elasticity from progressing more rapidly.

 

1) Use sunscreen every day

It is said that UV protection is important to prevent skin sagging. It is recommended to apply sunscreen thoroughly 30 minutes before going out, and to reapply it every 2 to 3 hours if your outdoor activity is prolonged.

2) Moisturizing care

If your skin is dry, the loss of elasticity can appear more noticeable. Therefore, it is said to be important to apply a generous amount of moisturizing cream after washing your face before the skin's moisture evaporates.

3) Avoid drastic dieting

Losing weight rapidly over a short period can cause facial fat to decrease as well, making the skin appear saggy. Therefore, it is recommended to manage your weight through consistent exercise and dietary control rather than attempting drastic short-term weight loss.

3. Dermatological procedures for managing sagging skin

If you are concerned about sagging skin, you can manage it through dermatological procedures. Let me tell you about a few helpful lifting treatments.

4. Q&A

1) Are there any factors I should consider before a lifting procedure?

The reasons why skin appears saggy vary from person to person, and since the appropriate treatment may differ depending on the cause, it is important to first identify the underlying cause of the sagging.

 

2) At what age does skin sagging begin?
While it varies from person to person, many people typically begin to experience a decline in skin elasticity starting in their late 20s. After the age of 30, this tends to manifest as visible changes, such as sagging jawlines and cheeks.
