HEALTHY LYF: A new trend in erasing wrinkles and sagging skin

Aging is something inevitable, but how we want to age is something we can work with. Aging manifests in many different ways, but the most noticeable of all these signs comes right through our skin, especially when people start noticing wrinkles on our face.

All structural tissue layers of our skin are affected by aging, and there is a change in the topography, shape, and proportions of the face. As the face loses volume, the skin loses elasticity and is no longer able to accommodate the underlying volume loss, causing it to sag and fold.

Getting a facelift surgery is one of the treatments used to get that tighter, much younger look. What it does is, the surgery makes incisions near the hairline and then the skin is pulled back to remove wrinkles and other signs of aging, the excess skin excised. Facelift surgery is one of the solutions to a sagging, aging face, but not all can afford the treatment and there are some others who just won’t do it under the knife.
