How to explain to the patient the reasons for the development of skin laxity and what to recommend to restore its tone, considered estet-portal.com.

The most common causes of skin laxity

From the point of view of physiology, flabbiness of the skin develops due to a violation of tissue trophism, a decrease in the rate of cell division, as well as a gradual accumulation of defects in structural components in the dermis, which reduces elasticity.

Of course, the prevalence of destructive processes in the skin is closely related to age, however, skin laxity can also develop in fairly young women for the following reasons:

• weight fluctuations due to pregnancy or excessive dieting;
• stress, overwork, lack of sleep;
• lack of oxygen (bad environment, minimum walks and physical activity);
• hormonal fluctuations;
• poor nutrition;
• doubtful quality cosmetics;
• neglect of protective equipment against solar ultraviolet radiation;
• improper care due to ignorance of the type of skin and its features;
• neglect of regular skin cleansing and proper washing.

All these reasons, which are absolutely obvious to a cosmetologist, can be a real discovery for a patient, so it is imperative to speak them out before developing a comprehensive skin treatment.

Another block of reasons that can provoke premature skin laxity is associated with more serious reasons:

• somatic pathologies of a neurological and endocrine nature;
• chronic dermatitis, especially if it flares up frequently;
• nutritional protein deficiency if it persists for a long time;
• lack of a number of trace elements in the body (for example, zinc, selenium, calcium, iron, etc.);
• lifetime accumulated photodamage and intoxication;
• age-related slowdown in the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and the destruction of collagen fibers.

The causes of skin laxity always have a synergistic effect, all of the listed factors that weaken the skin are variable and manifest themselves in each patient in their own way, so you should talk with the patient about a comprehensive skin treatment strategy that will be developed individually, take into account the correction of nutrition, daily routine and physical activity, provide for a plan of salon procedures and home care selected by a beautician.
