As we age, sagging skin becomes unavoidable. Our skin tends to become looser, more crepey and starts to sag. In thicker skin areas, such as the cheeks or buttocks, it may resemble jowls or sagging. In regions with thinner skin, like the eyelids, neck, and above the knees and elbows, skin can appear more wrinkled, crinkly, or crepey. Other causes of loose skin include weight loss and pregnancy.
What leads to loose, sagging skin?
Youthful skin benefits from thick layers of collagen, elastin, and even fat, which contribute to a smooth, supple, and firm appearance. However, as a person enters their thirties and beyond, their levels of collagen, elastin, and fat gradually deplete. Consequently, the skin becomes thinner and is more prone to sagging, folding, and wrinkling.
While some aspects of this process are inevitable such as aging, hormonal shifts, exposure to environmental toxins, stress, and sun damage/UV radiation, can speed up the process.

Dermal Fillers
As we age, our faces lose fat, making smile lines and crow's feet more pronounced. At the same time, the skin loses elasticity, which further adds to this loss of fullness. Sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices like smoking can also affect how our facial skin looks.
At Gilded Leaf MedSpa, we help you to fall in love with your skin again using a simple aesthetic process known as dermal fillers. These cosmetic injectables are designed to quickly plump up the skin, smooth out wrinkles and restore facial fullness.
