skin laxity

Skin laxity refers to the loss of skin's firmness and tightness, often caused by aging, weight changes, or sun damage. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin—proteins that support skin's structure—decreases, and the skin naturally loses its elasticity. This results in sagging or loose skin, especially around the face, neck, or body. Environmental factors like sun exposure can accelerate this process. Skin laxity can be addressed through treatments such as skincare, medical procedures, or cosmetic surgery, depending on the severity and individual preferences.
