Sagging Skin
Sagging skin on the face and body is a common concern with effective non-surgical treatment options. Advanced Skin and Body Solutions in Bellevue offers personalised tightening plans based on the location and severity of the concern.
What Causes Sagging Skin?
Sagging skin occurs when the structural support beneath the skin weakens. Collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm and resilient, decrease gradually over time. As they decline, the skin becomes less able to hold its position against the effects of gravity, leading to a looser, less defined appearance.
Age is the most common driver, but significant weight loss, sun damage, genetics and certain lifestyle factors can all accelerate the process or make it more pronounced. Sagging most commonly affects the jawline, jowls, neck, cheeks and upper arms, though it can appear in other areas too.
Treatments that stimulate collagen and elastin production can improve firmness and lift over time.
