How to relieve sagging facial skin
Disease description:
I am a 40-year-old woman who has recently noticed that her facial skin has started to become loose and saggy, especially in the cheek and jawline areas. I appear older than my actual age. I have tried several skincare products, but the results have not been significant. Could you please advise on how to alleviate facial skin laxity and sagging?

Relieving facial skin laxity requires a comprehensive approach involving both skincare and treatment methods. Skin sagging mainly results from the reduction of collagen and elastic fibers, combined with the effects of gravity and skin aging. To improve skin laxity, it is necessary to focus on enhancing skin firmness, promoting collagen production, and improving skin elasticity. Since the skin's self-repair capacity is limited, in addition to daily skincare, professional treatments are often required.
It is recommended to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, including adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise, all of which help enhance the body's repair capabilities and promote skin health. Use skincare products containing anti-aging ingredients such as retinol, peptides, and antioxidants, which can help stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Regular facial massage can enhance blood circulation and help lift the facial contour. Consider using home beauty devices such as radiofrequency or ultrasound devices, which can help tighten the skin and promote collagen synthesis. If skin laxity is severe, consult a professional dermatologist to determine whether medical aesthetic treatments such as thread lifting, ultrasound knife, or laser therapy are suitable options.
