Common "Skin Sagging" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Skin Sagging

Skin sagging happens when the key molecules responsible for maintaining firmness, elasticity, and hydration are affected by internal or external factors. In age-related sagging, there is a loss of collagen fibers, hyaluronic acid, and elastin fibers. Menopause, UV damage, medications like corticosteroids, artificial tanning, smoking, consuming alcohol, and the harsh chemicals on the skin products are responsible for causing skin sagging. Exercising, massaging, using firming products, taking Collagen Hydrolysate and anti-oxidant supplements, laser therapy, nonsurgical and surgical radiofrequency, ultrasound, intense pulse light, and laser resurfacing are the available treatments options.
