Sagging skin is a sight that no one wants to see, no matter how old we are. There are several different things that cause this condition, so there are many treatments available to rid our body of this nastiness. Treatments can be natural, medicated or surgical. Sometimes sagging skin is overly obvious as you see people walking around with flabby arms, flabby stomachs, eye bags and jowls. Sometimes it is hidden under a top as the body's skin content has not been able to keep up with quick changes such as a quick weight loss. What causes all of this? Reasons include aging, gravity, loss of collagen and elastin, smoking, pregnancy or a huge and rapid weight loss or weight gain. When our body ages and starts to break down its collagen our skin becomes loose. What this means in the facial area is eye bags. There is also the more controllable cause of eye bags and that is lack of sleep. Naturally you will want to try to get more shuteye in reference to the latter. A cold compress will reduce swelling, as well as green tea bags, botox or surgery. There are under eye creams on market that can keep you from the more drastic surgical choice. Look for something that includes haloxyl and eyeliss for the best effect. Is there extra skin in the area from your elbow to your armpit? A non-evasive way to counteract this problem is to exercise the triceps area by doing something such as pushups. Sometimes you may have to go a more drastic route of liposuction or cosmetic surgery to rid yourself of the flab. Similarly, if you have had a rapid weight loss or gain and the skin is just worn out and too big for your new spry frame, you may need to resort to these more drastic measures to rid you of this condition as well. Is there a way to prevent the sagging skin condition? Of course there is. Our own sun can damage our skin in many ways, including sagging. Use SPF lotions when outside and wear protective clothing. Eat healthy foods and exercise to prevent extra flab. Moisturize the skin with lotions and creams that promote hydration and the production of collagen and elastin. Try to stress less so you stop forming those negative expressions that eventually turn into wrinkles and loose skin. Smoking ages you dramatically so if you don't smoke, you can remain youthful longer. Creams and lotions can work wonders for your body. Try to find a cream or lotion that includes avocado extract for collagen production, shea butter for softening and smoothing, or grape seed oil for moisturizing for return of elasticity. Diet should provide ample supplies of vegetables and fruits, especially those that contain Vitamin A or Vitamin E. Other ingredients to watch for as you supply your cabinet with product to help stop the sagging are Vitamin C which promotes collagen production, honey and glycerin combinations help moisturize, soy is an antioxidant that promotes collagen production, and retinol helps new cell growth. There are a few other tightening procedures that can be done sans surgery. Dermal fillers will soften shadows so that flabby folds are less prominent. This procedure actually inflates the volume to cheeks that the jowls are less noticeable. Devices and machines that can tighten the skin encompass infrared and radio frequency energy. Laser skin resurfacing may be suggested by medical professionals to rejuvenate the skin. Sometimes there are techniques used in conjunction with surgical and non-surgical treatments. This includes panniculectomy which rids the body of excess skin. Tummy tucks will not only remove skin but also part of the loose muscle. Facelifts or mini lifts can rid your face of sagging areas. Whatever the cause, there is a cure to rig yourself of that loose and unwanted skin.
