Skin Sagging and Volume Loss

Aging is an inevitable part of life, and the natural ageing process plays a key role in the appearance of our skin over time. Over time, our skin loses its natural collagen and elastin leading to skin sagging, volume loss and loose skin. This leaves us with skin that doesn’t bounce back like it used to, leading to feeling a lot older than you really are, which can impact your self-confidence.  

The way we age differs from person-to-person due to factors such as our genetics, sun exposure and lifestyle choices. Loose skin after weight loss may also be a concern for some patients.

Our skin is made up of several layers with the inner layer called the dermis. The dermis is composed of a complex network of fibres called collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are the elastic tissue which give our skin support and rebound. In young skin, just the right amount of collagen and elastin are constantly being made, giving young people their youthful glow. As we age the cells which produce our collagen and elastin (the fibroblasts) start to become lazy and sluggish, our skin becoming thinner, saggier and less elastic and more dehydrated. 

Through the introduction of innovative skin rejuvenation treatments, we can help to naturally boost collagen and elastin production to help fight the signs of aging, helping your skin feel firmer, tighter and more youthful.
