Understanding Skin Laxity
Firm, youthful skin depends on collagen, elastin, and hydration. Over time, these key structural proteins weaken, causing visible sagging and a softer texture. Lifestyle, sun exposure, and hormonal changes all accelerate this natural process.
- Collagen breakdown and reduced density
- Weakened elastin fibers and volume loss
- Thinner, looser skin with diminished bounce
- Environmental and lifestyle stressors
