Body sagging due to aging, au revoir.

Summer's finally here, and you can't wait to put on your swimsuit and dash off to the pool. You pull out last year's, change, look in the mirror, and think: OMG. A little roll here, a bit of loose skin there… what's happening to my body if I weigh the same as last year?

It's called sagging skin . And yes, we'll all have it. And if you don't have it yet, you can stop reading and raise a glass to us.

Sagging skin is something you think won't happen to you, because you have good genes, because you go to the gym regularly, because you eat super healthy… It doesn't matter. It finds its moment and bam! It appears beside you, just like the song.

Unlike cellulite, which can appear even in young people, sagging skin in a healthy adult woman who exercises occasionally usually appears around age 35 or 40. It becomes much more pronounced with menopause, so it's best to start addressing it sooner. As good women, we all know that prevention is always better than cure.

What factors contribute to its appearance?

Loss of elasticity: Over time, the production of elastin and collagen in the skin decreases. These are proteins responsible for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness. As they decline, the skin loses its ability to stay taut and return to its original shape after stretching.

Loss of volume: Aging is also associated with the loss of subcutaneous fat and muscle tissue, contributing to a thinner, more sagging appearance. The reduction in volume in certain areas can lead to the formation of folds and wrinkles. Life is funny; just when we think we're getting thinner, it turns out we're turning into prunes.

Decreased sebaceous gland activity: As we age, the sebaceous glands produce less sebum, which can result in drier, less elastic skin. Hydration is now as important as calling your mother.

Hormonal influence: Life is what happens while our hormones are out and about, friends. Hormonal changes associated with aging, especially during menopause, also affect skin quality and firmness. The reduction in estrogen can decrease collagen and elastin production, leading directly to sagging skin.

External factors: As if our bodies weren't enough, we also contribute to sagging skin with our habits. Sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, and high stress levels can accelerate the aging process.

Where does it appear most frequently?

Arms: lower part of the triceps. The dreaded bat wings, that loose skin on the arms caused by sagging.

Abdomen: The skin of the abdomen can also become loose, especially after weight loss or pregnancy. Loose skin and skin folds when bending over are common.

Thighs: Champions of flabbiness, especially on the inner and outer parts. The loss of firmness and lack of muscle tone are very noticeable.

Buttocks: The decrease in collagen and elastin, combined with volume loss, can cause sagging and a lack of tone in the buttocks. It may seem like you have less butt, but no, it's actually expanding.

What does cosmetic technology offer to treat it?

The technology that works best to treat sagging skin is radiofrequency , because it stimulates collagen production and helps to recover the firmness we had been losing.

The device we recommend is TriPollar Pose VX . Why? Because in addition to multi-radiofrequency, it uses another technology called DMA, which uses microcurrents, and both have a tightening and toning effect.

Radiofrequency gives us an immediate general tightening effect, and the second one works on the muscles, leading us to achieve firmer skin.

A few months ago, we launched a body serum, the SKINVITY Anti-Cellulite Concentrated Serum. We created it because we felt the cosmetic benefits of a good body serum were lacking. Developed with a team of experts and the best active ingredients for treating cellulite, the serum also contains collagen—a must-have ingredient. It works very well with body devices. With Pose, in particular, it's ideal after a treatment.

And what about the Glo 910+ ?

Glo is a powerhouse for combating and improving cellulite, a fat burner, and has a very potent draining effect. But if sagging skin is your biggest concern, it's best to choose Pose, or combine them, as they can be used together perfectly and enhance each other's benefits.

Sagging skin due to aging isn't something that disappears overnight, but it can be significantly improved. Of course, in addition to all the wonderful tools that technology offers, we must also incorporate exercise and a balanced diet.
