The Science Behind Sagging Skin
As we age, we lose collagen and hyaluronic acid, natural substances in our skin that give it structure and bounce. Gravity takes a toll pulling our collagen and elastin, breaking cross links that were once there, causing lengthening of each fiber. Sun, smoking, genetics, diet and weight changes all contribute to the worsening of this condition.

Fast Facts
People who have lost significant amounts of weight are more susceptible to excess sagging skin. Aging and certain medical conditions can also cause skin laxity.
Skin laxity is especially noticeable on the eyelids, jowls, chin, throat, upper arms, elbows, above the knees and stomach.
Exercise that strengthens muscles can reduce the look of minor skin sagging. Weight lifting or resistance training, Pilates and facial exercises can help. But if your sagging skin is more than minor, professional help is your best option.
