After losing weight through exercise, skin laxity may occur. The following measures can help improve this condition: 1. Maintain moderate exercise: Continue with aerobic exercises and strength training, which help increase muscle mass and make the skin firmer. 2. Balanced diet: Consume sufficient protein, vitamins, and minerals, especially foods rich in vitamin C and collagen, to support skin health. 3. Stay hydrated: Maintain adequate water intake to help preserve skin elasticity and moisture balance. 4. Use firming skincare products: Choose skincare products containing ingredients such as collagen and elastin to enhance skin firmness. If skin laxity is severe, surgical treatment may be considered.
