Loose skin on the face may be caused by physiological factors, but also pathological factors such as skin laxity, malnutrition and so on.
1. Physiological factors: with age, excessive loss of collagen in the skin, collagen is the backbone of the entire skin, and can regulate the skin oil balance, so when collagen loss, the skin support decreases, elasticity decreases, water decreases, resulting in patients with symptoms of sagging skin on the face.
2. Pathological factors:
(1) skin laxity: skin laxity is a dermal elastic fiber development disorder of hereditary skin disease, mainly due to inborn copper ion metabolism abnormalities and affect the elastase concentration, so that the elastic fiber developmental defects thus leading to the patient to appear the symptoms of facial skin laxity.
(2) malnutrition: long-term malnutrition, can lead to facial muscle atrophy, the lack of facial adipose tissue, resulting in stretching of the skin contraction speed can not keep up with the speed of fat loss. This will cause the patient’s face skin laxity.
If the patient has symptoms of loose skin on the face, and exclude the influence of physiological factors, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
