Let's understand sagging correctly and start taking care of it for the future as early as possible.
Sagging face that is bothering people in their 30s... Let's know the causes and countermeasures.
Many people in their 30s may be concerned about sagging of the face. It is common for sagging of the face to begin to be noticeable in one's late 30s or 40s. However, many people begin to show signs of sagging in their 30s. Here we will discuss the causes of facial sagging and treatment methods.
■What causes facial sagging?
Sagging in one's thirties is not just aging.Changes inside the skin and lifestyle habits are intricately intertwined.The The main causes are as follows
- Decreased skin elasticity: Collagen decreases and skin elasticity decreases
- Weakening of facial muscles: underlying muscles become loose and unable to support fat and skin
- Subcutaneous fat migration: Fat droops from its original position due to aging
- Bone atrophy: loss of bone density results in loss of support as a foundation for skin and fat.
Collagen loss can be caused by,UV damage and prolonged use of smartphones and computersThese include. Also,If you wear a mask on a daily basis, you have very few opportunities to move your facial muscles, causing muscle weaknessIn addition, bone density declines with age, making it harder to support skin and fat. In addition, it is said that bone density decreases with age, making it harder to support skin and fat, which in turn causes the face to sag.
■Why do we recommend sagging skin treatment by cosmetic medicine?
Home care approaches to facial sagging include UV protection, moisturizing, and facial muscle training. However, self-care is only a means to slow the progression of sagging. Therefore, there is a limit to taking care of "once-stretched tissue" and "fat volume" only by self-care. Cosmetic medicine can be used to address the causes of sagging.Expected to work directly and lead to a youthful impressionThe point is the advantage: I have summarized the specific reasons why you should take up cosmetic medicine now in your thirties.
- Direct approach to muscle and fat layer
- Easy to realize early and sustained effects.
- Can lighten the burden of future treatments.
Depending on the progression of sagging, extensive treatment may be necessary. Starting at an early stage allows for a treatment option that is less physically and cost prohibitive. Start taking measures as early as possible, starting in your 30s, when sagging is less likely to occur.
