Saggy Skin

in Pittsburgh, PA

What Is Saggy Skin?

Saggy skin occurs when skin loses its elasticity, firmness, and underlying support, leading to drooping or hanging in areas, especially around the face, neck, and arms. This is a natural part of the aging process, as collagen and elastin diminish with time. Lifestyle factors, weight fluctuations, and sun damage can exacerbate sagging skin, affecting confidence and appearance. Saggy skin can also result from a reduction in the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps keep skin plump and hydrated. This condition is often more noticeable in areas where the skin is thinner, such as around the jawline and under the eyes, where support structures are weaker.

What Are the Causes of Saggy Skin?

Collagen Loss

Reduced collagen levels with age weaken skin structure.

Sun Damage

UV exposure accelerates collagen and elastin breakdown, promoting sagging.

Weight Loss

Rapid weight changes stretch and loosen the skin.

Smoking

Decreased blood flow impacts elasticity, leading to sagging.

Gravity

Over time, gravity naturally causes skin to droop, especially on the face.

Sleeping Habits

Sleeping on the back helps minimize stretching of facial skin.
