Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is a natural part of the aging process, and it occurs due to several biological changes that affect the skin layers. Here’s how some common causes of sagging skin:

1. Collagen and elastin are structural proteins that provide strength, elasticity, and support. We lose firmness and elasticity in our skin as we age due to a decrease in the production of these proteins.
2. Subcutaneous fat (the bottom layer of skin) helps to maintain volume and support for the skin. As we age, we lose fat in this layer, which contributes to a hollowed or sagging appearance.
3. Over time, gravity pulls on the skin, causing it to sag. Particularly noticeable are facial features, such as cheeks, jawlines, and necklines.
