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?
Sagging skin can result when skin loses elasticity due to reduced collagen and elastin (two important proteins) in our bodies. Collagen comprises tightly constructed fibers that help our skin maintain its structure and firmness. Elastin gives skin its elasticity, keeping it supple and pliant. As we age, our bodies begin to slow down the production of these two proteins, causing sagging skin, which primarily targets the eyelids, face, jawline, neck, upper arms, and stomach.
