Causes and Symptoms of Facial Sagging

Facial sagging is a condition in which the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, making it appear droopy. When the face sags, it has a significant impact on the apparent age of the face, such as by making lines more prominent and blurring the face line, making the face look larger. The causes of facial sagging are as follows.
■Age-related collagen loss and loss of elasticity in the skin
As people age, they becomeDecreased estrogen, the female hormone, and decreased ability to produce collagen and elastin in the skinThe skin will lose its elasticity and become less firm. As a result, the skin loses elasticity and firmness, and the face becomes noticeably sagging. Furthermore, as we age, the bone density of the face decreases, which weakens the ability to support muscles, subcutaneous fat, and skin. As a result, subcutaneous fat, etc., can no longer be firmly supported,Manifested as sagging of the faceThe muscles themselves also weaken, making them less able to support the skin and subcutaneous fat.

In addition to this, lack of exercise can worsen blood flow and stagnate the supply of nutrients to the skin, so these lifestyle habits should be reviewed.
■Ultraviolet rays and dryness
Facial sagging can be caused by UV rays and dryness. UV rays cause significant damage to the skin and promote the breakdown of elastin and collagen, which keep the skin firm. In other words, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause sagging and wrinkles. In addition, when skin becomes dry, it loses elasticity, causing it to sag. It can also cause skin problems such as fine lines and wrinkles and open pores, so special attention should be paid during the cold season when the skin is prone to dryness.
