Know about the Skin Laxity

Intrinsic (Natural) Aging Factors

  • Collagen Depletion: Collagen, the protein responsible for skin strength and structure, decreases by about 1% per year after age 20, leading to thinner, looser skin.

  • Elastin Degradation: Elastin fibers, which allow skin to snap back, break down over time, reducing elasticity.

  • Reduced Hyaluronic Acid & Moisture: The skin produces less hyaluronic acid and natural oils, leading to dryness and sagging.

  • Fat & Bone Loss: With age, facial fat pads shrink and bones lose density, reducing structural support for the skin.

  • Slower Cell Turnover: Skin cells regenerate more slowly, leading to dull, thin skin.

  • Hormonal Changes: Declining estrogen (especially in menopause) reduces collagen production and skin hydration.
