Loss of Firmness and Facial Sagging
Facial sagging is the loss of firmness in the skin of the face, an aesthetic concern that unmistakably indicates the passage of time. As a result of skin sagging, the definition of the facial contour is gradually lost. It occurs in both women and men starting around the age of 40. One of the causes is the loss of collagen and elastin, substances responsible for providing tone and firmness to the facial skin, whose production decreases with age. It is estimated that adult skin loses approximately 1% of its dermal collagen content per year due to increased degradation and decreased production. In addition to skin aging and the effects of gravity, other factors such as poor diet, sudden weight changes, smoking, and overexposure to the sun also contribute.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
Facial sagging can be addressed through various treatments aimed at restoring firmness and defining the facial contour. Non-invasive procedures, advanced technologies, and personalized treatment plans are often employed to target the underlying causes and improve skin elasticity and firmness.
