Aging & Saggy Skin

 

Aging is inevitable and as we age, our skin loses important elements such as collagen and elastin. These two proteins contribute to keeping your skin firm, supple and youthful looking. Collagen helps with skin tightening while elastin gives skin elasticity to keep your skin firm.

Besides that, our bones, muscles and deep fat pad undergo structural changes altogether. Resulting in skin laxity – one of the major concerns amongst men and women, alongside loss of facial volume and other pesky ageing concerns.

Skin Tightening and Face Lifting Treatments are available in Singapore to slow down your facial ageing process.

Why Do You Have Saggy Skin?

 

Ageing can starts as early as in your 20s on a cellular level and gradually be more visible in your later years. The structural changes are mainly in your skin, muscle, fat, and bone, where you will notice sagging of cheeks and jowls, double chin, deepen wrinkles and folds, drooping of eyelids or even sunken face.

Your skin gets thinner and less elastic as you age. This change can cause your skin to sag and wrinkles to form. The fatty tissues below your skin also begin to decrease and flatten out. You may notice that your skin is drier, thinner, and less elastic. Your cheeks may become sunken and the bridge of your nose may become more pronounced. These changes are due to a loss of bone density and can make you look older and are all part of the natural ageing process and are nothing to be concerned about.

What Causes Your Skin To Sag?

 

There are various types of dermal fillers, each with its own set of characteristics. The choice of the right type of dermal filler depends on various factors such as the specific area of concern, desired results, and guidance of a healthcare professional.

Sun Exposure
UV radiation degrades DNA and impairs skin repair ability as well as direct damage to the collagen fibres.
Stress
Stress can increase the number of biochemical mediators inducing in-creased inflammation which can in turn damage collagen fibre in our skin.
Poor Hydration
More than 50% of our collagen molecules are made up of H20. Hence it is important to keep the skin hydrated at all time to avoid skin wrinkling and damage.

Available Treatments

 

The aim of treatment is to improve aging and saggy skin by increasing skin collagen and elastin to produce a more lifted, youthful, refreshed and cheerful look.

Traditionally people can only achieve good results with a surgical facelift or other invasive surgical procedures. Long recovery periods and surgery-related complications have rendered more and more people to opt for non-surgical methods to reduce facial sagginess and aging.

Now you have the options of non-surgical facelift procedures such as:

  • Profhilo
  • Dermal Filler
  • BTX Treatment
  • HIFU
  • Skin Booster
  • Rejuran Healer
  • Aesthetic Products
