Tightens Skin
Sagging or loose skin generally occurs when external or internal factors impact the molecules that keep the organ hydrated, firm, and elastic, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin fibers. Typically, most begin to experience skin loosening or laxity in their mid-thirties or early forties. Pregnancy and rapid or significant weight loss can also loosen your skin, as they may change its structure or stretch its molecules.
Other lifestyle and health factors contributing to skin loosening include menopause, ultraviolet damage, artificial tanning, medications like steroids, skin products containing potent chemicals, alcohol, smoking, and age. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to keep your skin tight, like regularly exercising, using firming products, taking supplements, getting massages, and using the sauna.
There are also cosmetic treatment options that can help. These include non-invasive procedures, such as ultrasound, laser treatment, and non-surgical radio frequency. Surgical radiofrequency, intense light pulses, and laser resurfacing are used for minimally invasive therapies. But remember that it takes work to maintain tight skin even with these procedures. However, by adopting healthy lifestyle practices like staying hydrated, using sunscreen, and exercising regularly, it’s possible to prevent or delay the onset of loose skin.
