Lax Skin

What is Lax Skin?
Lax skin, also known as sagging skin, refers to skin that has lost its elasticity and firmness. It can occur due to a natural ageing process, as well as factors like sun exposure, genetics, lifestyle choices, and weight fluctuations. Lax skin commonly affects areas such as the face, neck, jowls, arms, abdomen, and thighs.
Why Does Lax Skin Occur?
- Ageing: As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, which are responsible for keeping the skin firm and resilient. This loss of structural proteins leads to decreased skin elasticity and the appearance of sagging.
- Sun Damage: Prolonged and unprotected exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. This can contribute to the development of laxity and premature ageing.
- Lifestyle and Habits: Certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking, poor nutrition, dehydration, and lack of exercise, can contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres, leading to lax skin.
- Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can result in lax skin, as the skin may not have enough time to adapt to the changes in body shape and elasticity.
