Facial flaccidity

In large part, the skin is elastic due to the action of an essential protein:collagen. It is found throughout the body, in fact, it is the most common protein. Along with elastin, it provides firmness and structure to the skin, but as we age, we naturally lose collagen.

The loss of this protein is reflected in the progressive lack of facial fat, which reduces the volume of the face. The decrease in both substances causes the collagen matrix, elastin and fat to disintegrate, resulting in a loss of skin firmness.

We can compensate flaccidity with the activation and regeneration of new collagen, through energy emitting sources, such as the most powerful radiofrequency on the market (Thermage FLX), or focused ultrasound (Ultherapy).
