Causes
Aging
+
The natural aging process leads to a gradual decline in collagen and elastin production, resulting in decreased skin firmness and elasticity.
Sun Damage
+
Prolonged exposure to UV radiation from the sun can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, leading to premature aging and skin laxity.
Genetics
+
Genetic factors can influence the rate at which collagen and elastin are produced in the skin, as well as the overall structure and firmness of the skin.
Weight Loss
+
Significant weight loss, especially in a short period, can lead to excess skin and skin laxity as the skin loses its elasticity and ability to bounce back.
Lifestyle Factors
+
Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of skincare, can contribute to skin laxity and accelerate the aging process.
