Skin is a highly complex organ. It is made up of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, subject to cellular damage both from internal and external factors. Unfortunately, skin cannot be toned or tightened through exercise in the same way that muscles can. If you add muscle to your body, healthy, resilient, well-nourished skin will form a tight layer shaped by the muscle underneath. However, if years of yo-yo dieting, carrying more than 50 pounds of excess weight, or unhealthy lifestyle choices have caused a loss of skin elasticity, no amount of exercise will eliminate the sagginess.
Sagging skin on the face can be even more noticeable than on other areas of the body. The breakdown of fat pads, collagen, and elastin under certain areas of the face, most visibly under the eyes, brows, and cheeks, means that the skin on these areas is no longer inflated with natural tissue and begins to sag. Dermal fillers like Restylane® and Perlane® can help to replace the body’s own destroyed tissue in a natural looking way. The choice of an injectables administrator is important, and Dr. Roy’s years of experience working with injectables like these make her an extremely qualified anti-aging physician.
