Neck Sagging
What Is Neck Sagging?
What Are the Causes of Neck Sagging?
Decreased Collagen and Elastin Production: With age, the body produces less collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity, leading to sagging.
Gravity: The constant pull of gravity exacerbates the natural loosening of the skin and muscles, causing them to sag over time.
Stubborn Fat Accumulation: Fat deposits under the jawline, often resulting in a double chin, contribute to the appearance of neck sagging, making it more prominent.
Muscle Loss: Loss of muscle mass in the neck area can lead to muscle looseness and contribute to sagging skin, giving rise to the turkey neck appearance.
Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, hastening the onset of neck sagging.
Genetics: Genetic predispositions can play a role in determining an individual’s propensity for developing neck sagging, as some people may inherit characteristics that lead to weaker skin and muscles in the neck area.
Weight Gain: Fluctuations in weight can stretch the skin in the neck area, leading to sagging as the skin loses its ability to bounce back.
Sensitive Skin: Individuals with sensitive skin may be more prone to neck sagging, as their skin may be more susceptible to damage from external factors.
Premature Aging: Factors such as smoking, poor diet, and inadequate skincare can accelerate the aging process, leading to premature neck sagging.
