As we get older the skin starts to lose collagen and elastin from its structure, leading to the droopy appearance.

A youthful complexion has skin that is smooth and firm. These characteristics are down to the healthy levels of collagen and elastin that are naturally found within the skin. Through ageing, the production of these two substances becomes less efficient, declining in volume. As a result, the skin becomes weak and less supported, and eventually begins to sag.

This process is something that will affect everyone at some point, although the degree to which it develops and the individual pattern it will follow, can vary from one person to another. Our genetics, weight loss and lifestyle choices can be factors that contribute to how ageing will manifest, with sun exposure, poor diet, alcohol consumption and smoking being factors to consider.

Taking this into account, ensuring a healthy lifestyle – eating a balanced diet and taking regular exercise – can help to keep the skin in good condition. As well as maintaining a regular skin care routine, including daily applications of a suitable SPF.

Ensuring the skin can stay soft and smooth, whilst improving its tautness, can be achieved at PPP Laser Clinic, through the use of one of their innovative treatments. A full and thorough consultation, prior to treatment, will assess your condition and recommend the best procedure for you. The appearance of sagging skin in areas such as the eyes, jawline and cheeks can help to produce a youthful more radiant look.
