Loss of Skin Elasticity

As we get older, our skin goes through some dramatic changes which are affected by many contributing factors including genetics, lifestyle, diet, sun exposure and gravity. During the ageing process, collagen and elastin production slows down and our skin elasticity becomes less firm and begins to droop.

Plump and perfect

Hyaluronic acid – which retains the moisture in our skin to keep it looking plump and youthful – depletes over the years and we can also lose some fat. As a result of these changes, the face can appear drawn and sallow and suffer from a weakening of the muscles.
