Have you ever felt that your facial skin is sagging or that your cheeks and jawline look more saggy than before as you age? Skin elasticity can decrease due to various factors, including not only changes in collagen and elastin caused by aging but also UV exposure and lifestyle habits.

In particular, it is said that many people are looking into elasticity lifting procedures because a loss of skin elasticity can make fine wrinkles more prominent or make facial contours appear blurry.

Today, I will summarize in detail everything from the reasons why skin elasticity decreases, to home care methods for firming that you can practice in your daily life, and the types and characteristics of firming and lifting procedures at dermatology clinics.

1. What causes a decrease in skin elasticity?

1) Changes in collagen and elastin due to aging

Collagen and elastin in the skin play a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity and structure. As we age, if these elastic fibers decrease or degenerate, the skin's ability to support itself weakens, leading to the formation of wrinkles and making the skin around the cheeks and jaw appear saggy.

 

2) Skin damage caused by UV exposure

Ultraviolet rays are one of the leading external factors that accelerate skin aging. Prolonged exposure to UV rays damages collagen and elastic fibers within the skin, leading to reduced elasticity and making fine lines or deep wrinkles more prominent.

 

3) Skin dryness and lack of moisture

If your skin lacks moisture, the surface can become rough and fine lines can become more noticeable. In particular, as you age, a decrease in sebum secretion and the skin's ability to retain moisture can make the skin feel dry and lose elasticity.

 

4) Rapid weight changes and lifestyle habits

If you lose weight significantly in a short period, subcutaneous facial fat decreases as well, which can make the cheeks or under-eyes appear sunken or accentuate skin sagging. Additionally, lifestyle habits such as smoking can accelerate skin aging, so consistent daily care is said to be important.

2. How to manage skin elasticity at home?

1) Use sunscreen consistently

Since ultraviolet rays are one of the main causes of reduced skin elasticity, it is important to use sunscreen before going out. In particular, if you are exposed to UV rays for a long time, it is advisable to reapply according to the product instructions and use a hat or parasol to prevent skin aging.

2) Maintain skin moisture with sufficient moisturization

Since dry skin can make fine lines appear more prominent, it is advisable to use a moisturizer after cleansing to minimize moisture loss. Consistently using a moisturizing product suited to your skin type can help maintain your skin barrier and alleviate dryness.

3) Reduce habits that irritate the skin

Excessive washing, frequent exfoliation, and the habit of rubbing the skin vigorously can cause unnecessary irritation. Especially if your skin is dry or sensitive, it is important to maintain gentle cleansing and proper moisturization rather than using harsh treatments.

 

4) Maintain regular lifestyle habits

Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and quitting smoking, can also help with skin aging. Since skin elasticity is difficult to improve in the short term, it is recommended to manage your daily habits as well.

3. What are the types of skin tightening and lifting procedures at dermatology clinics?

If your facial contours become blurred or your cheeks and jawline appear sagging due to decreased skin elasticity, you may consider a firming lifting procedure depending on your skin condition. Maypure reportedly offers the following firming lifting procedures.

4. Q&A

Q1. What criteria should I use to choose a skin tightening and lifting procedure?

It is recommended to select a skin tightening and lifting procedure by considering factors such as skin thickness, the degree of elasticity loss, fat distribution, and the areas you wish to improve. In particular, since the appropriate procedure may vary depending on whether your concern is facial contour, fine lines, or overall loss of skin elasticity, it is important to make a decision through a consultation with a medical professional.

The time it takes for the firming and lifting effects to appear varies depending on the type of procedure and the individual's skin condition.

Therefore, it is advisable to thoroughly check the expected results and duration of the effects before the procedure.
