Why does the skin become loose?

The fact that our skin becomes saggy with age is well-known. However, what are the actual causes of this? Why do we develop so-called "hamster cheeks" or "butterfly wings"? Read on.

It is often said that the skin ages with time, but what processes are behind this? Can they be stopped?

Fluctuations in Weight

Weight fluctuations in the body are an important cause of loss of skin firmness. When we gain weight, the collagen fibers in the skin stretch. If the process is sudden, they can stretch so much that stretch marks appear. Of course, increased weight is often a desired effect, such as during pregnancy or muscle growth.

On the other hand, when we lose weight, regardless of the cause, the faster the process, the more excess skin remains. This is also influenced by the tension of collagen fibers. Undesired excess skin can then appear in different parts of the body. After pregnancy, a common problem area is the abdomen, while individuals who have lost muscle tissue may experience the appearance of unattractive "bat wings" on the arms.

Solution: It is important to maintain a healthy diet and manage changes in body volume at a suitable pace. It is best to do this under the guidance of an experienced dietitian. If you need to strengthen the tension of collagen and elastin fibers, body treatments such as Zaffiro or SonoQueen can be helpful. For dealing with stretch marks, effective treatment can be found through laser therapy.

Loss of Skin Moisture

Properly moisturized skin is firm and functions better. By maintaining the correct turgor of skin cells, the skin more easily absorbs nutrients from the blood and produces collagen, which is crucial for firmness. This is often related to exposure to sunlight or the loss of hyaluronic acid in cells as we age. Dry skin is most commonly visible on the face, neck, and décolletage.

Solution: A great solution to this issue is needle mesotherapy using specialized products for the neck and décolletage, or mesotherapy with stem cells.

Hormones

Hormonal imbalances affect many organs in our body, including the skin. This problem particularly affects women and is often related to menopause. Hormonal changes during this time can inhibit the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin, resulting in thinner and less firm skin.

Solution: To address this complex issue, Ambasada Urody in Warsaw offers a range of anti-aging treatments. To choose the most effective option, it is recommended to take advantage of a free consultation with a specialist.

Stress

Excessive stress causes a range of problems in our body, including having a very negative impact on the skin. This is a well-known issue that likely needs no further explanation.

Solution: To address excess stress, we recommend specialized massages that relax the body and soul, and have a positive effect on the skin. In Ambasada Urody in Warsaw, various treatments of this kind are available and can be tailored to individual needs.
