Sagging skin can result due to the deterioration and reduction of collagen and elastin in the skin due to aging, as well as weight loss.
What is it?
As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that help skin stay plump and supple, begin to slow down. This slow-down can result in sagging skin on the face, neck, arms, legs and stomach.
Collagen, made up of tightly woven fibers, aids in maintaining the structure and rigidity of our skin. Elastin, on the other hand, lends skin its flexibility, keeping it soft and flexible. Factors such as excess weight and pregnancy can also contribute to skin sagging.
