Revive sagging skin with Da Vinci Medical Clinics

Sagging skin is a common concern for those of us who are beginning to see signs of ageing. Sagging skin is largely attributed to the reduced production of the skin’s natural hydrator, elastin, which gives it its ability to “bounce back”. When coupled with a depleting production of collagen and loss of subcutaneous fat under the skin, we can also see the skin begin to sag as volume is lost leaving us appearing gaunt.

The production of collagen and elastin in our skin will begin to slow in our late twenties, and furthermore in our thirties and menopausal women seeing the most rapid decline. In men, this decline is more gradual over a longer period of time. Our lifestyle choices will also contribute to the speed at which our skin ages, as smoking, sun exposure and poor diet and hydration will all accelerate the ageing process.

Weight loss is also another factor to consider, as when the skin has become stretched over long periods of during weight gain, the loss of this weight may leave behind loose skin that is no longer able to revert back to its more youthful, tighter state.

There can be a number of reasons for the development of dull / dry skin. As a person ages, the skin naturally starts to produce less oil. The complexion starts to look less radiant as dead skin cells start to build up on the face. As a result, the natural pink tone is no more found, and complexion becomes dull, losing its natural rosy tone of youth.

The skin can also start to lack in hyaluronic acid which helps to maintain adequate moisture levels, and the skin begins to dry out. Drinking plenty of water and eating a healthy diet can contribute to brighter looking skin that stays well hydrated. Lifestyle habits, such as smoking and consuming alcohol, can also cause dehydrated skin. This contributes to a dull complexion, as well as leading to changes in pores size and texture.

Regular cleansing and exfoliation is key to eradicating dead skin cells and retaining essential moisture levels. A treatment that works to help with this process can enhance the overall appearance and condition of the skin for a youthful and vibrant look.

Dull skin tone is a result of excess dead skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin. Your skin can lose its natural luminosity because of dryness, damaged cells or slow cell turnover, all of which can happen at any age and in any season.
