Causes of loss of skin firmness and ways to deal with the problem

Smooth, tight and supple skin is every woman’s dream. Before a certain age, it is not difficult to keep the skin in good condition, but as the years go by, it becomes more difficult. Nevertheless, it is not only the body’s natural aging process that can cause the loss of skin firmness. Learn about the causes of decreased skin elasticity and methods to improve skin firmness.

Why is the skin elastic?

Immediately after birth, an infant’s skin is smooth and tight. For the first dozen years or so, it stays that way. The elasticity of the skin is its ability to return to its original shape on its own after any deformation. Collagen – the protein that forms collagen fibers – the dermis is responsible for its tension. Optimal levels of collagen allow the skin to maintain proper tension and firmness. The loss of firmness of the skin occurs when the natural fibers made of this very protein are weakened.

Causes of loss of skin firmness

It is difficult to say exactly when the skin loses its natural elasticity. Everyone ages differently, time is more kind to some and less kind to others, but not everything is a matter of lottery, and the condition of the skin and its level of elasticity can depend on many factors.

Some of the most common causes of skin problems and decreased skin tone include:

  • The aging process whereby fibroblasts begin to produce less collagen.
  • Inadequate diet – the lack of essential nutrients that should come with food can affect not only the thickness of body fat, but also the quality of collagen fibers and the overall condition of the skin.
  • Skin dryness – the fact that the level of elasticity of the skin depends on its hydration is easy to notice even in winter. Frozen and dried hands look unsightly – not only are they red, but they also begin to wrinkle, The same happens to the skin all over the body when it is not properly moisturized. Exposing it to frequent dryness, therefore, greatly accelerates its aging process and therefore loss of firmness.
  • Sunburn and overexposure to the sun – overexposure of the skin to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, especially the UV rays sent with them, is a factor that significantly worsens the skin’s firmness level.
  • Air pollution – unfortunately, this is a cause that is difficult to remedy, but being in large cities, where the amount of exhaust fumes is huge, adversely affects the condition of the skin.
  • Rapid fluctuations in weight – both rapid weight gain and loss are not good for the skin, by analogy, pregnancy is also a dangerous process for it.
  • Genetic conditions and endocrine disorders – loss of skin firmness can be one of the symptoms of an endocrine-related disease, and can also be written in genes inherited from ancestors.

Effective methods to improve skin firmness

Although the loss of firmness is part of the natural process the body undergoes, it does not mean that one should passively give in to it, especially when the skin has lost its elasticity far too early. Special body treatments, proper diet, massages, sports – all of these are sure to improve her condition and keep her looking healthy and good for longer.

Among the most effective methods are aesthetic medicine treatments. One of them is the one using the HiFu method, the Ultraskin II Absolute. This treatment can effectively improve the tension and elasticity of the skin. When it is performed, the deep layers of the skin are remodeled, and the skin is smoothed and firmed. Ultraskin II Absolute treatment based on the HiFu method uses the most concentrated ultrasound. This treatment can be performed on various areas of the body, including the thighs, abdomen, breasts or buttocks.
