Uneven skin tone can occur in any area of the body, the most common areas being the face, neck, abdomen and arms. There are many factors that contribute to loss of skin firmness, but the aging process is still the main cause of this condition.
1. What causes the skin to lose elasticity?
Causes of skin loss of elasticity include:
Loss of collagen Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is found in bones, joints and tendons. Collagen is the compound that keeps skin youthful by providing structure in the dermis. As we age, the body naturally loses collagen.
Rough skin due to weight loss If you have successfully lost weight, you may notice that the skin structure gradually becomes loose. This is because the skin stretches as the body increases in size, causing the structure of collagen and elastin fibers to break down. From there, affecting the ability of the skin to recover after weight loss.
Exposure to the sun for a long time The sun has a huge impact on premature skin aging. One study found that UV exposure is responsible for 80% of the signs of aging on the face.
Ultraviolet rays in the sun damage and break down elastin over time, leading to premature loss of elasticity. Besides sun exposure, skin exposure to other free radicals can also degrade collagen and elastin. Free radicals can include toxins, pollutants and even the food you are consuming.
2. Skin tightening treatments that don't involve surgery
Skin tightening measures do not have to be performed in medical facilities. You can tighten your skin by doing the following:
Using firming creams While creams should not be relied on alone, they can make a difference in firming sagging skin. Some types even minimize the appearance of cellulite.
To get the most out of a firming cream, choose one that contains anti-aging ingredients like retinoids and collagen. Also, make sure to maintain a healthy skin care routine, such as regularly applying sunscreen.
Facial Exercises Although there is little clinical evidence for the effectiveness of this method, however, a study by Dr. Murad Alam, Vice President and Professor of Dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, It has been shown that performing facial exercises will help with active anti-aging.
When doing facial exercises, you can use jade roller to support, help lymphatic drainage, stimulate circulation and relax facial muscles.
Supplements You can take collagen peptides or vitamin C supplements to "repair" damaged cells, protect skin from free radicals, and even support collagen production.

3. Ways to tighten skin with cosmetic procedures
When you want to tighten sagging skin, cosmetic procedures will be the choice to bring about quick results. Some cosmetic procedures for skin tightening include:
Skin Peel Chemical peels or peels are minimally invasive procedures to improve the texture of the skin. They work to remove damaged skin cells from the outermost layer or epidermis. Chemical peels are often used on the face or other areas of the body, such as the neck and hands. The results of this treatment are not immediate, but depend on the chemicals you use.
Laser Resurfacing This is the most effective way to tighten skin. Laser surfacing requires the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) or erbium. Carbon dioxide helps to remove scars, warts ; erbium addresses more superficial concerns, such as wrinkles. However, both can improve skin texture by focusing the laser on the epidermis.
With this method, you may be asked to do it again and again. Although the effects can last up to 5 years, wrinkles are part of the aging process and often re-appear.
Ultrasonic skin tightening This treatment will help regenerate, promote collagen production, making the skin smoother and firmer over time. Although you will see an immediate difference, it may take up to 3 or 6 months to get the best results.
