Skin Sagginess
As we age, one of the most common skin concerns is the loss of firmness and elasticity, leading to skin sagginess. Sagging skin can affect various areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. While it’s a natural part of the aging process, several factors contribute to the degree and speed at which the skin sags.
Factors like volume loss, bone resorption and environmental influences can accelerate this process, leading to noticeable changes in skin texture and appearance over time.
Causes of Skin Sagginess
Aging: Over time, the production of collagen and elastin—proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity—slows down. This leads to the skin becoming thinner and less capable of retaining its shape.
Weight Loss: Significant or rapid weight loss can result in loose, sagging skin, especially in areas that previously carried more fat.
Sun Damage: Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun damages collagen fibers in the skin, causing it to weaken and sag over time.
Hormonal changes：Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause in women, can lead to thinner and sagging skin, as the decrease in estrogen levels affects the skin’s structure and moisture retention capacity.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor diet, dehydration, and a lack of exercise can accelerate skin aging and reduce its ability to stay firm and tight.
Skin sagging is the result of multiple factors working together. By adopting a scientific skincare routine, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and seeking professional treatments, it is possible to effectively slow down the process of skin sagging. Keeping a balanced diet and good habits while regularly caring for your skin can help maintain its firmness and elasticity.
Volume Loss
Volume loss occurs when natural reduction of fat, collagen, and other supportive tissues in the skin, often due to aging. This can lead to hollowness or sunken appearance, particularly in areas like the temple, the cheeks, under the eyes, and around the mouth. Volume loss can make the skin appear less youthful and contribute to the formation of wrinkles and sagging.
What Causes Volume Loss?
Aging: As we grow older, our skin loses collagen and elastic fibers, resulting in decreased firmness and elasticity. This natural aging process often includes the loss of facial fat.
Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy habits, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, and poor diet, can all contribute to skin aging and accelerate volume loss.
Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can break down collagen in the skin, speeding up the aging process and contributing to volume loss.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause, can lead to thinning skin and changes in fat distribution, increasing the risk of volume loss.
Chubby Cheek
For many individuals, a square or chubby face can be a concern when it comes to achieving their ideal beauty standard. Women often view an oval face shape as the epitome of elegance and femininity, while for men, a defined square jawline is seen as a mark of masculinity.
Several factors can contribute to a fuller or square face, including:
- Strong chewing muscles (masseter hypertrophy): This can make the jawline appear wider and bulkier.
- Excess facial fat: Often a result of genetics or lifestyle, it adds to facial fullness.
- Prominent jawbone structure: A naturally larger jaw can give a square appearance.
- Bulky parotid glands: Enlarged glands can also contribute to the overall fullness of the face.
Dark Eye Circle
- Vascular dark circles: usually appear as bluish or purplish and commonly seen in those with visible blood vessels and poor blood circulation
- Structural dark circles: also known as “shadowed dark circle” result from changes in the underlying structure of the skin under the eye
- Pigmentary Dark Circles: caused by an excess of melanin in the skin, leading to brown or black discoloration under the eyes.
- Mixed Dark Circle: combines features of pigmented, vascular, and structural dark circles.
Lip Concern
Common concerns over the lips are:
- Thinning
- Loss of volume
- Fine Lines
- Cracked lips
