What is loose skin?
Skin that has lost its elasticity and firmness. Several factors are likely responsib le for making your once supple firm skin appear tired and loose. The most common cause is ageing . As you age, your skin loses the collagen and elastins, which are your skin’s supportive connecti ve tissue, that make it look soft and youthful.
Sun exposure is another reason for skin losing its elasticity. The sun’s powe rful rays damage skin cells over time, this can accelerate the effects of ageing. The ultraviolet radiation you soaked up while getting the perfect tan was also breaking down your collagen and elastin, which can lead to saggy skin, tired looking and wrinkled skin.
Weight loss is also a contributing factor, especially large amounts of wei ght over a short period of time. Those who undergo bariatric surgery are often left with skin and tissue that is over stretched and unable to bounce back.
