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. The muscles themselves also weaken, making them less able to support the skin and subcutaneous fat, and the skin becomes less tight.
■Lifestyle habits such as stress and lack of sleep
Lifestyle factors such as stress and lack of sleep are also factors that make sagging of the face more visible. Disturbing the balance of hormones,When skin turnover does not function properly, facial sagging and wrinkles become more noticeable.The result is that the skin is more sensitive to stress than it otherwise would be. In addition, excessive stress releases hormones that promote skin inflammation and aging. 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.
Areas where sagging is noticeable
Sagging can occur anywhere on the skin, but it is especially easy to form sagging in the face.Eyes and cheeksThe sagging of the under eye area and eyelids is the main cause of sagging. Sagging under the eyes and eyelids occurs primarily due to muscle weakness. In some cases, sagging under the eyes can look like dark circles, giving the appearance of fatigue. Stimulation from makeup and face washing can also damage the skin and cause it to sag.
Sagging cheeks appear in the upper, lower, and outer areas of the cheeks. The entire face does not sag, but rather there are areas within it where sagging is more likely to occur and areas where sagging is less likely to occur. The difference between where sagging occurs and where it does not isThey appear as lines and wrinkles such as double chin, marriot lines, etc.。
