Flaccid skin - symptoms

At a certain age, the skin becomes flabby, the natural process of collagen reconstruction disappears and the loss of firmness causes many discomforting problems. This period is conducive to the formation of a double chin or the characteristic crow’s feet, i.e. the drooping eyelid line and eyebrows. The neck skin is also affected. Aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery come to the rescue. Aesthetic medicine is a much better option in terms of recovery time and healing period after the procedure, and is characterised by similar results.

Causes of loss of skin firmness

The main cause of wrinkles is a decrease in collagen production. Skin without collagen sags. When does this happen? The limiting age cited by experts is 25. Flabby skin fades, skin appendages, subcutaneous glands and thus sensory receptors disappear. Folds and wrinkles become deeper and deeper. The causes of flabby skin mainly include loss of skin density.

Theloss of firmness is related to a person’s age and lifestyle. The skin needs to be moisturised from an early age and protected from harmful external factors. The loss of skin elasticity is also influenced by genetic predisposition, in which case it is advisable to apply treatments to eliminate the signs of ageing earlier. Weight fluctuations also reduce flabbiness, as collagen fibres are over-stretched. It is important to lubricate the body with sunscreen before every exposure to the sun, as skin exposed to UVA and UVB rays is also damaged. Physical activity helps as much as possible to maintain adequate firmness.

Smoking worsens skin condition

A common skin density problem is encountered by smokers and passive smokers. The chemical composition of inhaled tobacco smoke is toxic, irritating and carcinogenic. Nicotine and tobacco are not only bad for the condition of our body internally, but also externally. Harmful smoke settles on our facial and body skin, where it triggers an accelerated ageing process or increases the likelihood of skin diseases. Firm skin becomes saggy and so-called smoker’s wrinkles appear on the skin.

Laser firming in the eye area

Aesthetic medicine relies on laser treatments to combat flabby skin. The treatment involves the emission of infrared rays using a special head. The waves cause the deep layers of the skin to heat up to 44° C. The whole process aims to shrink the collagen fibres, which will have the effect of smoothing out wrinkles.

The procedure should be performed by people prone to drooping eyelids and cheeks and in whom wrinkles or nasolabial furrows are visible. The device emits laser, light, radio waves and ultrasound, which we use for aesthetic medicine treatments and as an anti-ageing prophylaxis for skin aged 25-35 years.

No anaesthesia is given during the procedure as it is virtually painless and the area of irritation is immediately cooled. Patients often refer to the treatment as a lunchtime procedure, as it is largely possible to return to daily activities afterwards. There may be some minor swelling and redness on the face, but healing takes a maximum of a few days.

RADIATION WAVE for the body at Arcadia Clinic in Krakow

A treatment that improves the elasticity of the skin is a radiofrequency treatment that, using concentrated radiofrequency energy, effectively restores the skin to its normal function. The treatment can be used to firm the silhouette, rejuvenate the body and stimulate collagen fibres.

The time spent on the treatment is approximately 30-60 minutes. A special layer of glycerine is applied to the skin and then circular movements are made in the skin area with an applicator. The skin is heated, which stimulates the production of collagen fibres. The patient does not feel any discomfort due to the cooling system running continuously during the treatment. Excellent results are obtained after six treatments performed once a week.

After the first treatment, the patient should not exercise intensively for a few days. One should drink a lot of fluids, especially water, and follow a light diet.
