Caring for your skin is an essential part of maintaining a youthful appearance. Unfortunately, your skin can still lose its firmness over time despite your best efforts. At Skin MD and Beyond, cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Fiona Wright and her team have a nuanced understanding of skin aging, which is why we offer a variety of advanced, non-invasive solutions to help you regain confidence in your appearance.
Why Does Skin Lose Elasticity?
Skin elasticity naturally diminishes as you age due to the gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that keep your skin firm and supple. Beginning in your late 20s or early 30s, your body produces less collagen, which gradually weakens the skin’s structure. External factors like prolonged sun exposure, environmental pollutants, and hormonal shifts during menopause or pregnancy can accelerate this natural decline, resulting in sagging skin even for those who maintain a strict skincare routine. While using quality moisturizers and serums can help slow the process, these treatments often target only the skin’s surface, leaving deeper issues unaddressed.
The Role of Lifestyle and Genetics
Genetics play a significant role in how quickly your skin shows signs of aging. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as smoking, stress, and lack of sleep can further deplete your skin’s collagen reserves. While using quality skincare products helps protect your skin, these external treatments often can’t fully address the deeper causes of skin laxity.
Treatments That Can Restore Skin Firmness
At Skin MD and Beyond, we offer innovative, non-invasive treatments to target skin laxity. Procedures like radiofrequency microneedling and advanced laser treatments are designed to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin from within. These techniques provide noticeable results with minimal downtime, making them ideal for patients seeking effective solutions without surgery.
